Counterparts are pairs of Pokémon from different evolutionary trees that have several similarities that imply a biological or thematic connection, or otherwise were designed with several similarities.

Evolutionary Counterparts are much the same as normal counterparts, except are from a split evolution from a single evolutionary tree.
