I know this post has nothing to do with the topic at hand but after seeing your rules I wonder what's the best Pokemon under your rules. I wanna say Scyther but maybe there's better ones out there

It would most likely be a Pokemon that was originally created as a standalone Pokemon (with a base stat total befitting one) but then got an evolution in a future generation without also getting a baby form that would technically make itself count as an evolved Pokemon. Scyther, Misdreavus, Gligar, and Sneasel are the standouts that immediately come to mind. Scyther has the best base stat total, but the others have better typings, wider movepools, and other unique options to make up for the 70 or so stat points that Scyther has on them, so it's hard to say which is the best.

That being said, I purposely avoided using such Pokemon in this playthrough because I really wanted to challenge myself. I only wanted to use Pokemon that were truly unevolved Pokemon and were originally designed as such from the very beginning. I ran into a wild Murkrow early on and could have used it because it evolves into Honchkrow, but I chose not to.

EDIT: A late honorable mention to Type:Null, who would undoubtedly be the best unevolved Pokemon for a playthrough like this... if there was any Pokemon game where it could be obtained before the postgame, which there currently is not.
