It took me some time to learn that Carvanha evolves to Sharpedo. Since their real-life inspiration is a (typically) bony freshwater fish and a (typically) cartilaginous marine fish, and they don't really look alike.

...and I still forget about it time to time!

Whenever I see Snorunt I'm always like, awww what a cute little friend and then I instantly remember he evolves into the disaster that is Glalie and then a few moments later that if he's a girl, she becomes Froslass.

It's always an adventure... but not a good one... :(

Snorunt >>>>> Glalie and Froslass

most of the likely offenders here are mons i care about so i can't think of any i ever mistake like this. at most i sometimes just need to jog my memory once in a while on what the evos or preevos for some (a select few) mons are, like say, salandit, or sewaddle (it's easy to remember swadloon, but sometimes i blank on leavanny. but if i were to be looking at a swadloon or leavanny proper i'd easily remember the full line), or armaldo...

I know it's not what you mean by "pokemon that are related", it makes me think of
A) version exclusive or limited pairs, like Ekans and Sandshrew, I forget for example right now what Meowth pairs with in rby but right now I re-remembered it's Mankey. Or Oranguru and Passimian is one.
B) Pokedex entries with other pokemon. Raichu knocking over a Copperajah always makes me go "oh yeah that's a thing, they have a relation" or Onix disturbing Diglett tunnels and such

Reading through some entries now, like I didn't realize that Pinsir/Heracross both relate to Vikavolt via a rivalry. Or that Elekid and Togedemaru are related though fighting as well.

Venonat should evolve into Butterfree. They look soooo alike.

Cubone to Marowak to Kangaskhan (with a baby Cubone in its pouch) always looked like it made too much sense too.

And as always, how the hell are Luvdisc and Alomomola not related?!
Give 'em hell Ukraine.

They 100% swapped them to make the early game one more marketable. Venomoth looks like Caterpie and Metapod too. It's a nothing issue but it bugs the shit out of me ngl

Carbink and Diancie not being related also confused me.

Oh and Remoraid and Octillery is a classic one for sure.

I mean, sure, I was thinking of evolution lines, but this is also an interesting aspect of Pokemon. Also I like it when new Pokemon has an older Pokemon in its Dex entry, makes the world feel more interconnected.

Skitty and Wailord will most certainly be a verboten subject under our new regime.
The azuarc of the contest universe is long, but it bends toward Guruship.
