So, you know how the only way to obtain the Alolan forms that are only evolutions (Alolan Exeggutor, Raichu and Marowak) is to be lucky and recruit them while rumbling in Alola. Well, what if that changed?

In the games, the way to obtain these Alolan forms are to evolve their regular pre-evolutions in Alola. What if the exact thing happened in Pokeheroes?

If you send out a Pikachu, Exeggcute or Cubone to Alola, when you retrieve it, besides getting the recruits list and new mission thing, you will also be given the option to evolve that Pokémon into its Alolan form. I will do some inspect elementing when my Pokémon return from rambling, but basically, you would get the message that your Pokémon wants to evolve and you would get the option to evolve it or not in the same little blue window of rumbling.

As Mrinja pointed out however, the Pokémon should meet some requirements before Alolan evolving. The Exceggcute would need to be holding a Leaf Stone (which would disappear after it evolved), the Pikachu would be needing to hold a Thunder Stone (same case as of the Exceggcute) and the Cubone would need to be holding an Everstone (so it stays as Cubone, Everstone will dissapear after it evolves) and be atleast level 28.

This would work for shinies too, obviously.

Support! I hope sooner or later the alolans will be just like the eeveelutions and such. Unlike the other alolans that were born in alola and that is why they look different and can't change/adapt. Cubone, Exeggcute, Pikachu all have a chance of forme changing since evolving gives them this chance to adapt. Though I think there has to be limits, so they are still kinda rare. Pikachu needs to be holding a thunder stone when going to alola,cubone just needs to be everstone with the level it evolves, and exeggcute needs to be holding a leaf stone when going to alola.

Forgot about that! Adding that to the main post

Support, this'd be better if you wanted the Alolan shinies !

This actually a pretty good idea.
I assumed this was how to evolve them already but I guess it wasn't yet, so support.

Support! I think it makes a lot more sense than making them only available from the Rumble Area. Shiny Wishiwashi School being beach-only was bad enough.

Full support! Mostly becuase I still haven’t got Alolan Marowak but anyway

It would also make getting Shiny Alolan Raichu/Marowak/Exeggutor a lot less complex.
