"'''Evol'''" (エヴォル ''Evoru'') is a [[series]] of three [[FIRE]]-[[Attribute]] sub-[[archetypesarchetype]]s: the [[Reptile]]-[[Type]] "[[Evoltile]]", the [[Dinosaur]]-[[Type]] "[[Evolsaur]]", and the [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] "[[Evolzar]]". "[[Evoltile]]" monsters [[Special Summon]] "[[Evolsaur]]" monsters, which gain a variety of effects when Special Summoned in this way, and "[[Evolzar]]" monsters , which are [[Xyz Summon]]ed by using [[Dinosaur]]-Type monsters as [[Xyz Material]]s. With They are also supported by the support of "[[Evo-]]" Cardsseries of cards.
"Evol" is a toolbox series, similar to "[[Gladiator Beast]]", in that "Evol" monsters gain their effects when they are Special Summoned by other "Evol" monsters.
==Recommended cardsPlaying style==Because an "Evol" deck Deck consists of three main archetypes and is a toolbox-type, it is good to use specific searchers in the deck Deck such as "[[Evo-Diversity]]" with the main "Evoltiles": "[[Evoltile Najasho|"Najasho]]", "[[Evoltile CasinerioMegachirella|CasinerioMegachirella]]", and "[[Evoltile WestloPholis|Pholis]]"Westloand "[[Fossil Dig]]. To a lesser extent, " with "[[Damage = ReptileEvolsaur Lios]]" can make , since it doesn't need to be Special Summoned by the effect of an "Evoltile" monster. Despite having its Normal Summon issues, it is advisable to use of Evoltiles an [[Evoltile Pleuro|Engine]] for more extended plays. The most common Engines to play with the "Evol"Pleuroseries are, "[[Spright]]", "[[Evoltile Gephyro|"Gephyro"Ogdoadic]], or " and Generic [[Evoltile Najasho|"Najasho"Dinosaur]] as neededSupport.
The "[[Evoltile Odonto]]" is also a decent choice to use; use its effect to Special Summon Spright"Evolsaurs" that are stuck Engine focus in your hand such as "taking advantage of [[Evolsaur VulcanoLevel 2 Monster Cards|VulcanoLevel 2]]" or "[[Evolsaur Elias|Elias]]Evoltiles". This can lead to a quick [[Xyz Summon]]To an extent, then "OdontoEvolsaur Lios" can be used as tribute for "[[Offering to the Snake Deity]]", "[[Evo-Force]]", "[[Evo-Branch]]", or "[[Evo-Instant]]send a Level 2 ".Using "[[Evoltile Lagosucho]]" is tricky, but can help set up future plays. You can either [[Normal Summon]] it and send an Evolsaur to Monster from the Graveyard, or Set it and flip it next turn to Special Summon an Evoltile from your Deck. The former allows any "[[Evolsaur Vulcano]]" plays to be effective even early game, and the latter sets you up for "[[Evo-Force]]" or "[[Evo-Instant]]" plays with "[[Evoltile Najasho]]". Using "Evolutionary Bridge" GY to Special Summon a "Pleuro" or a "Gephyro" from your graveyard, then forcing your opponent modify the Level and Type of two Monsters in order to attack, can let you Summon the have more powerful "Cerato","Pelta", "Terias","Elias",or "Darwino" from your hand or graveyardLevel/Rank/Link 2 plays.
The "Evoltiles" Ogdoadic"Engine focus in sending multiple Reptiles to the [[Evoltile Westlo|WestloGraveyard]]in order to revive Monsters like, "Evoltile Pholis" and /or "[[Evoltile Najasho|Najasho]]", with their effects and high [[DEF]] help lead to swarming by field. If you [[tribute]] these said Monsters, especially "Najasho" with "since when [[Evo-Force]]" or "[[Evo-InstantTribute|Tributed]]", you it can Special Summon two an "EvolsaursEvolsaur" from your the Deck like "[[Evolsaur Vulcano|Vulcano]]" or "[[Evolsaur Elias|Elias]]" to bring more "Evolsaurs" to the field and [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Evolzar Laggia]]", "[[Evolzar Dolkka]]" or "[[Evolzar Solda]]".

===Weaknesses===Despite the motley benefits the “Evol” "Evol" archetype can contribute for a Duelist, they have their snags that can be taken advantage of. For instance, due to their “"[[Gladiator Beast]]”"-esque toolbox assets, cards like “"[[G.B. Hunter]]” " and “"[[Corridor of Agony]]” " can punish “Evol” "Evol" monsters Summoned from the [[Deck]] and/or interdict this strategemstratagem. In addition, cards like “"[[Narrow Pass]]”", “"[[Summon Limit]]” ", and any anti-Special Summoning support can deadlock “Evol” "Evol" strategies and effects yielded via Summons and prevent many “Evol” "Evol" monsters (especially the “Evolzar” "Evolzar" Xyz Monsters) from taking roost onto the Fieldfield.
==Trivia==
* The archetype name, "Evol", is derived from "Evol"ution, and appropriately enough, this archetype is supported by "[[Evo-]]" cards, a series of [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s.
* They are based on evolution from Reptiles to Dinosaurs to Dragons. This is referenced in some cards, such as "[[Ultra Evolution Pill]]".
* All members have a tail with a visible DNA strand inside it, referencing their "evolving" nature. * If you see In the background of "[[Evo-Branch]]" , you can see an "[[Alien]]" monsteralien, supporting the idea of the aliens were the ones who started the evolution in the planet.
* All members have many things in the background of their pictures referencing evolution:
** There is a molecule in the background of all "Evoltiles" and "Evolsaurs". If it's in the background of the "Evolzar" monsters, it is most likely being obstructed by the monsters themselves.
** "EvoltilesEvolzars" are surrounded by a binary code aura, the "Evolsaur" seem to have what appears to be an ancient language in more faint aura and the background. "EvolsaursEvoltile" have a modern language using the Latin alphabetno aura. This depicts their "EvolzarsEvolutionary" have binary in the backgroundprocess, they develop an this said aura.
** On all "Evols", there is a depiction of the evolution of man in the bottom right corner of their picture.
