List of Pokémon by three-stage evolution

Three-stage Pokémon are Pokémon consisting of three stages and have two evolutions from their unevolved form. All First partner Pokémon used in the mainline games are part of a three-stage evolution, with the exception of Eevee. All Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon also follow this trend.
Most Pokémon families have become three-stage lines through added evolutions or pre-evolutions introduced in later generations, one example being a Pokémon such as Roselia, who was previously not part of an evolution line until the introductions of Budew and Roserade in Generation IV, now making Roselia a three-stage Pokémon starting with Budew.

==Trivia==
*Generation I currently has the most amount of three-stage evolution lines, with 29.
**It also had the most three-stage evolution lines upon the generation's debut, with 16.
*Generation IV currently has the least amount of three-stage evolution lines, with 6.
**It is also tied with Generation II for the least three-stage lines upon debut, both having 6 as well.
*From Generation V to Generation VII, no Pokémon have gained an evolution or pre-evolution to make them into a three-stage evolution line.
**In Generation VIII, Pokémon were given new evolutions. However, they are also regional evolutions.
*The most common type among three-stage evolution lines is the type, being present in 18 different lines.
**In contrast to this, the type is the least common, only appearing in 5 different lines.
*As of Generation IX, Mime Jr. and Applin are the only non-regional form Pokémon to be part of both a two-stage and three-stage evolution line. (The regional form in question is Zigzagoon) 
**If a Mime Jr. caught in Galar can evolve into a Galarian Mr. Mime which then evolves into Mr. Rime. Otherwise it will evolve into the Kantonian Mr. Mime which is a fully evolved Pokémon.
**In Generation VII Applin could evolve into Appletun using the Sweet Apple and Flapple using the Tart Apple. Both are fully evolved Pokemon. In the Scarlet and Violet DLC: The Teal Mask, Applin could evolve into Dipplin using the Syrupy Apple. It was theorized Dipplin was not a fully evolved Pokemon due to Dipplin taking advantage of the Evolite, which only works on unevolved Pokemon. This was proven true when Dipplin could then evolve in the next DLC: The Indigo Disc into Hydrapple after learning Dragon Cheer.
