Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner rulePhanpy evolves at level 25. Evolving then forfeits 2 moves that Phanpy would still learn: Endure at 41, Double-Edge at 49. Donphan learns 2 moves of its own after that: Rapid Spin at 41, Earthquake at 49.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Endure | 41 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Donphan this move is gone. |
| Double-Edge | 49 | Yes, a move tutor teaches it once; see tutors. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
