Flounder evolution
Flounder evolves into Mudslip at level 18. The line finishes as Mudslip at 422 base stat total, 141 above Flounder's 281.
Evolution fires on a level-up earned in battle once the Dokimon is at its evolution level or higher. A level reached with crystals does not trigger it — the next level gained in battle will — and pressing back during the evolution animation cancels it for that time only.

Flounder forms & rarity
Every Flounder obtained has a 1-in-777 chance of being one of seven unique palettes — the roll is read straight from the game's capture code, and all seven are equally likely. The bound palette is never rolled: story events and certain Ranger battles set it directly.
