Develop like a Pokemon (6)

I believe the answer is:

evolve

(Other definitions for evolve that I've seen before include "Develop or change very gradually (6)" , "Grow slowly" , "Unfold" , "Gradually develop as Darwin predicted" , "Develop gradually over a long time" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
