Phione and Manaphy should be baseform siblings, with some note that only Phione actually comes from breeding.

Both Nidoran families should be parallel and together, with a note that either Nidoran can result.

Volbeat and Illumise should be siblings, similar to Nidoran.

Unfortunately! Volbeat and Illumise have opposite EXP growth. This requires moving the growth rate into `pokemon`.

Somewhat related, I believe Shedinja should actually evolve from Ninjask. The game clones after Ninjask evolves, so Shedinja can actually learn moves only Ninjask can.

Possibly the Latis, too?

Only levelup moves, though, and only from one level. It’s more like it evolves into both at once, and anything it learns in the process, it learns both ways.

I want to find Ninjask when looking for final evolutions.

I’m moving exp\_growth to Pokemon as part of \#579
