Fans ofPokemonwere delighted when generation two added breeding, eggs, anda new form of Pokemon — baby Pokemon. These adorable little creatures are Pokemon in their very earliest form and cannot be used to breed, naturally.

More and more baby Pokemon have been added over the years, adding brand-new Pokemon lines as well as new stages of evolution for pre-existing Pokemon. There are now 19 different baby Pokemon in total, and while it’s understandable that these babies are rather cute as a prerequisite, which are the most adorable?
19Magby Of The Magmar Evolution Line
Magby wasone of the very first baby Pokemonintroduced in generation two, adding a pre-evolved form to Magmar. Considering that Magmar isn’t one of the cutest Pokemon, it’s not hard to see why the design team struggled to make its baby form cute either, and it’s hard to overlook its strange, bulbous head. This Fire-type Pokemon evolves into Magmar starting at level 30.
18Tyrogue Of The Hitmon Evolution Line
Tyrogue was one of the initial baby Pokemon added in generation two, not only adding a pre-evolutionary form to the pre-existing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan but also for Hitmontop, which also debuted in generation two. This Fighting-type Pokemon evolves at level 20, becoming Hitmonlee if its attack is higher than its defense, Hitmonchan if its defense is higher than its attack, or Hitmontop if both of its attack and defense stats are the same.
17Smoochum Of The Jynx Evolution Line
Smoochum was added in generation two as the pre-evolved form of Jynx. This Ice/Psychic-type Pokemon always seemed like an odd choice to include as one of the few to receive a baby form, as Jynx is one of the least favorite Pokemondue to controversy over its design. Perhaps the addition of its baby form was to redeem this evolutionary line somewhat. Smoochum evolves into Jynx at level 30.
16Toxel of the Toxtricity Evolution Line
Toxel is the most recent baby Pokemonto be added to the series, with it debuting in generation eight with the release ofPokemon Sword and Shield. It is currently the only baby Pokemon to have not yet featured in thePokemonanime series.

This Electric/Poison-type Pokémon evolves into Toxtricity starting at level 30, though it has two different forms — Amped or Low Key — and its nature decides which form it evolves into.
15Chingling Of The Chimecho Evolution Line
Chingling debuted in generation four and is designed to be a rather cute little bell Pokemon, serving as the pre-evolved form of Chimecho. They are best known from thePokemonanime as being Francesa’s trio of Pokemon in the episode “The Bells Are Singing!”. Chingling evolves when leveled with high friendship during the nighttime.
14Elekid Of The Electabuzz Evolution Line
As Electabuzz is the counterpart of Magmar, it’s not surprising that both of these Pokemon received a baby form at the same time. However, Elekid is a much more successful attempt at a baby Pokemon design, incorporating a cute electrical plug element to its head while still keeping the visual style of its later evolutions. This Electric-type Pokemon evolves starting at level 30.
13Happiny Of The Chansey Evolution Line
Happiny was added in generation four, adding an adorable pre-evolution to Chansey. One of the most adorable things about this Pokemon is that it likes to mimic Chansey (and its final evolution of Blissey) by carrying an egg-shaped stone in its pouch, as it is too young to produce its own eggs. This Normal-type evolves when leveled up while holding an Oval Stone during the day.
12Bonsly Of The Sudowoodo Evolution Line
Bonsly is a Rock-type Pokemon that was added in generation four and is the pre-evolved form of Sudowoodo. It takes on the appearance of an adorable little potted bonsai-type tree.

Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo when it is leveled up when it knows the “Mimic” move. It is best known for being one of Brock’s Pokemon in the anime.
11Mime Jr. Of The Mr. Mime Evolution Line
Mime Jr. can be a bit of a divisive baby Pokemon design as many fans dislike clowns, but whether that’s the case or not, it’s hard to deny that Mime Jr. is much more appealing than itsevolved form of Mr. Mime. Initially, Mime Jr. was classed as a Psychic-type but became a Psychic/Fairy-type from generation six onwards. It evolves when leveled up while knowing the move “Mimic”.
10Igglybuff Of The Jigglypuff Evolution Line
Though it wasoriginally classed a Normal-type, Igglybuff along with its later evolutions are now Fairy-type Pokemon. Igglybuff is the baby form of Jigglypuff, and it evolves when leveled up with high friendship. The strangest thing about this Pokemon is that it has kind of unsettling red eyes instead of the cuter blue eyes attributed to Jigglypuff.
