Well, actually that's just adaptation. Humans adapt to rain by putting on raincoats, but that's not evolution. Evolution is the process of natural selection; it's not that the entire species adapts to meet a challenge, it's that those incapable of surviving the challenge long enough to pass on their genes die, and those capable of surviving at least that long live, making the next generation have their parent's genetic makeup, making them more likely to resist whatever environmental pressure caused the cut.
Technically, the change in Pokemon is not evolution at all, but more like metamorphosis.
