We are all guilty of it. Sometimes we may or may not choose starting monsters based on how cool their evolving forms are. Unlike other monster collectors, Nexomon: Extinction gives you a record-breaking nine entries to choose from. Each option represents a different element, and so the physical and normal die-hards can rejoice. It's a good idea, but your decision should be made based on how each starter develops with each evolutionary form. Here is an overview of all the start-up evolutions and their respective strengths.
Lume's evolutions
We've said before that Lume is probably the best of all the starters in the game, and it's no different with his future forms. At level 17, Lume becomes Lumefur, with an average attack stat of 23. For any Nexomon leveled as a teenager, this is actually quite remarkable, but it doesn't end there. Once he reaches level 34, he will become the magnificent Lumerei, with an Attack stat of 32 and a Defense stat of 27.
Noki evolutions
Yes, Noki is known to be one of the weakest newbies, but he's probably one of the cutest. These are evolutionary forms, Vainok and Hainok, however, transform baby Nexomon from cute to badass - and his stats show that, too. You can get Hainok at level 36, with his initial stats of 33 HP, 30 offense, 28 defense, and 10 speed. Guess Noki isn't a bad choice after all - if you're the patient type.
Gekoko evolutions
We think that running with Gekoko is very similar to running with Noki. Coping with his first form is also a burden, but Kamelevo and his final evolutionary form, Reptomotor, make it clear that hard work pays off. Kamelevo is a well-balanced second form, with 22 HP, 21 attack and 18 defense. The Reptomotor is also perfectly designed and built with 37 HP, 30 attacks and 28 defenses when evolved.
Behilda evolutions
From a design point of view, we are convinced that Behilda is the most promising. Heddeca looks even scarier than his old self and is a lot tougher. However, Noocidal deserves the most spotlight, as the final form feels familiar to that of a Legendary Pokemon. It is not the most difficult final form, but its 37 HP once evolved is really attractive.
Mara evolutions
Large types of plants are extremely rare to find in Extinction, and it's ironic because that's what Mara and her evolutionary forms are classified as. Additionally, her rarity may be based purely on their appearance, as their abilities are no better than most of the others on this list. If you're having trouble with water types, maybe consider Marasuma or Raksuma in these tricky spots.
Evolutions Masquiti
We know it's almost too scary, but as a psychic monster you shouldn't be too shocked. Masquiti's evolutionary forms make the hostile starter a worthy choice. At level 17, you see him transform into a Masqat, which has a respectable stat group. But, at level 34, players will see him transform into Feliblandqo, a bigger, stronger, and less scary version than you're used to.
Mearn évolutions
Mearn and their shapes are the equivalent of having a rare adorable stuffed animal. It doesn't do much, but at least you can tell you have it. Cat lovers, we don't blame you if this is your entryway, as the evolutionary forms Felarnia and Yarnesty really bring their own personality to your party. However, if you can make it to the Drake Islands, there are tons of Mearns to see and catch in its grassy areas.
Triple evolutions
You really can't go wrong with the rare choice of having a mineral type starter. That makes it even better when you consider that this Nexomon is the second best of the nine. The evolutionary forms of Trebly, Treclay, and Tresaur, are best known for having some of the highest HP stats in the game. On top of that, it's breathtaking to watch the baby reptile transform into such a terrifying goliath.
Evolutions Dinja
It's downstairs for a reason: we were hoping you didn't see it. As dogs, we made the mistake of choosing this friendly but still passive mut. Now, no one is saying that Dichala and Namansi aren't great evolutionary forms, but as normal-type Nexomon, they're just never effective in combat. It can lead to a lot of pent-up frustration, but if you're ready to move on, you'll need to give Dinja all the Cores of Destruction you have.
