In the pokemon games there are many different methods of evolving your pokemon, these methods can range from getting your pokemon to a certain level, or trading them. Point is, with so many methods of evolving, it is hard to remember which pokemon evolve in which ways. So for starters, here is a list of the different methods of evolving... Raising Your Pokemon to a Certain Level Here are some examples: Charmander -- Lv 16 ---> Charmeleon Using Stones to Evolve Your Pokemon These stones include... To use a stone...First, you must open your bag and select the stone that you wish to use. Then, select the use button and choose the pokemon you would like to use it on. The stone will only work on pokemon that can evolve using a stone. Once a stone is used, the stone is gone, so be sure to use them wisely. Pokemon who evolve using the moon stone: Pokemon who evolve using the sun stone: Pokemon who evolve using the water stone: Pokemon who evolve using the leaf stone: Pokemon who evolve using the fire stone: Pokemon who evolve using the thunder stone: Pokemon who evolve using the shiny stone: Pokemon who evolve using the dusk stone:
This level can range from species to species, however. This is the most common evolution method found in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I'm not going to list the pokemon who evolve with this method because well...there are too many.
Charmeleon -- Lv 36 ---> Charizard
Dratini -- Lv 30 ---> Dragonair

Having a High Friendship Level With Your Pokemon
Another method of evolving your pokemon is obtaining a high relationship level with that pokemon. However, not all pokemon evolve by friendship. In fact, only 9 pokemon evolve with friendship.
To gain a high friendship with a pokemon, there are a few simple methods.
These methods are...
-Walk with your pokemon
-Battle with your pokemon
-Feed your pokemon with poffin that they like
-Give your pokemon items to hold
-Give your pokemon a sooth bell to hold
-Give your pokemon massages
As said above, there are only 9 pokemon who evolve with a high friendship level. Out of these 9 pokemon, 4 of them must have the friendship level at a certain time of the day. Here is a list of each evolution based off of friendship:

Have Certain Stats Upon the Evolution Level
As of now, there is only one pokemon who has different evolutions according to its stats and that pokemon is Tyrogue. To be honest, the process of evolving Tyrogue seems complicated, but its an easy concept to grasp.
Evolving Tyrogue to Hitmonlee:
If you wish to evolve your Tyrogue into a Hitmonlee, your Tyrogue's attack stat must be higher than its defense stat at level 20, which is Tyrogue's evolution level.
Evolving Tyrogue to Hitmonchan:
If you wish to evolve your Tyrogue into a Hitmonchan, your Tyrogue's defense stat must be higher than its attack stat at level 20, which is Tyrogue's evolution level.
Evolving Tyrogue to Hitmontop:
If you wish to evolve your Tyrogue into a Hitmontop, your Tyrogue's attack and defense stat must be equal to each other at level 20, which again, is Tyrogue's evolution level.
To make it simpler:
Attack>Defense------Hitmonlee
Attack
Pokemon That Evolve With Party Requirements
In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, there are 2 specific pokemon who are known to evolve with certain party requirements. These pokemon are Mantyke and Nincada.
Evolving Mantyke to Mantine:
To evolve Mantyke into a Mantine, you must have a Remoraid in your part and when Mantyke grows a level, it will evolve into a Mantine.
Evolving Nincada to Ninjask AND Shedinja:
Normally, when a Nincada grows to level 20, it evolves into a Ninjask. However, with the right conditions, your Nincada can evolve into both a Ninjask AND Shedinja. For this to happen, you must have an empty slot in your party, and an empty pokeball in your bag. Once Nincada grows to level 20 with these requirements, it will show it evoving into a Ninjask. When you look at your party, however, you will have a Ninjask in Nincada's slot, and a Shedinja in the once empty slot.
Pokemon That Evovle With a Maximum Beauty Stat
In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, there is only one pokemon known that evolves by maximizing the beauty stat and that pokemon is Feebass.
In order to evolve Feebass to Milotic, you must make plenty of dry-flavored poffin and feed them to Feebass until the beauty stat is maxed out.
The best berries to use to make dry poffin are the razz berry and the pamtre berry.
Evolving Pokemon With Their Cloak
In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, there is one pokemon who wears a cloak that can change depending on its location. That pokemon is Burmy; and as much as I would love to, I'm not going to get into how its cloak can change.
The three cloaks that Burmy can wear are the Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak. However, Burmy's evolution is a bit more complicated than that. No matter what cloak, male Burmy always evolve into Mothim, a Bug/Flying type.
For the female Burmy, there are three possible forms of Wormadam for Burmy to evolve into at level 20. The first form is the bug/plant Wormadam, which wears the Plant Cloak. The second form is the bug/ground Wormadam, which wears the Sandy Cloak. The third and last form is the bug/steel Wormadam, which wears the Trash Cloak.
Male Burmy Evolution:
Burmy+Plant Cloak=Mothim
Burmy+Sandy Cloak=Mothim
Burmy+Trash Cloak=Mothim
Female Burmy Evolution:
Burmy+Plant Claok=Bug/Plant Wormadam
Burmy+Sandy Cloak=Bug/Ground Wormadam
Burmy+Trash Cloak=Bug/Steel Wormadam
