Which Pokemon weigh less or the same when they evolve?

Solution 1:

Pokemon that lose weight:

  • Gloom (29 lbs / 8.6 kg) → Bellossom (12.8 lbs / 5.8 kg)
  • Porygon (80.5 lbs. / 36.5 kg) → Porygon2 (71.6 lbs. / 32.5 kg)
  • Shelgon (243.6 lbs. / 110.5 kg ) → Salamence (226.2 lbs. / 102.6 kg) (Thanks to Sumurai8 & MBorg)
  • Nincada (12.1 lbs. / 5.5 kg) → Shedninja (2.6 lbs. / 1.2 kg)

Pokemon that lose height:

  • Gloom (2'7" / 80cm) to Bellossom (1'4" / 40cm)
  • Dragonair (13'01" / 4m long) → Dragonite (7'03" / 2.2m tall)
  • Porygon (2'07" / 80cm) → Porygon2 (2'00" / 60cm)
  • Haunter (5'03" / 1.6 m) → Gengar (4'11" / 1.5 m)

Notes

  • Porygon2 gains some of the weight back for Porygon Z.
  • Nincada to Shedninja loses about 10 lbs, but there are extenuating circumstances.

Solution 2:

The Pokemon that lose weight when they evolve are:

  • Gloom (29 lbs / 8.6 kg) to Bellossom (12.8 lbs / 5.8 kg)

  • Kadabra (124.6 lbs / 56.5 kg) to Alakazam (105.8 lbs / 48.0 kg). Alakazam's weight does not change when it Mega Evolves

  • Porygon (80.5 lbs / 36.5 kg) to Porygon2 (71.6 lbs / 32.5 kg). Porygon-Z has weight in between the two at 75.0 lbs / 34.0 kg

  • Though not strictly an evolution, Mewtwo's weight (269.0 lbs / 122.0kg) decreases when Mega Evolving to Mega Mewtwo Y (72.8 lbs / 33.0 kg)

  • Galarian Corsola (1.1 lbs / 0.5 kg) to Cursola (0.9 lbs / 0.4 kg). Normal Corsola weighs more than both of them (11.0 lbs / 5.0 kg)
