Came up with the lore!
Silver had always been wary of permanent evolution. Past events had shown him the irreversible nature of such transformations, leading to unforeseen consequences. However, during his adventures with Haikiri, he and Silver discovered the existence of the Temporal Gem—a mystical artifact that allowed Pokémon to temporarily evolve. With the gem's power, Silver could transform into any of his evolved forms during crucial moments, harnessing their abilities without the permanence he feared. This newfound capability provided Silver with the flexibility to adapt to various challenges, embracing the strengths of evolution while staying true to his original self.
