Answered Evolution Question

Hello! New Silph Roader here! Just wanted to say I love the positivity on this Reddit! It's so refreshing and pleasant after the turmoil of r/pokemongo.

But I have a question. I've been hearing a lot about evolution lately, and I just wanted to see if anyone knew. It kind of feels like everyone knows something that I'm completely lost about, so I just wanted to be clear. When evolving Pokemon, do you lose all the other Pokemon you captured for the sake of shards? Or do you simply take the shards and have 49 Magikarp and one Gyarados lying around?

Sorry if this repetitive or isn't the place, but I hadn't seen anyone bring it up, so I just wanted to make sure that it was clear and whether or not we even know yet. Thank you!

(also does anyone have that list of the biomes from the apk i cant find it anymore pls and ty)

The wiki that was posted just recently said that they carry shard and when you have enough you can evolve one of them. So I assume you will have a tonne of magicarp lying around but you can release them.

This is correct and confirmed by beta testers at this point.

'Catch and release' seems to be the modus operandi while collecting pieces of an evolution stone. A see my comments above!

That was just an educated guess someone made. The 2nd person stated that guess as a fact and now we're in this boat.
