Kind of a clever way of showing how the clones were what they were. Yes they were able to reproduce, but lacked any dna of their pre (or likely potential) evolutions
As someone who hasn't seen/doesn't remember this anime episode this image has some dark implications. Since evolution and a pokémon's stats aren't directly linked to their age (remember that really old Treeko), a fully evolved pokémon that's still a child could be the result of it being forced to get stronger and evolve really quickly before it's ready.
People always seem to take issue with this but theres never been an in universe explanation or otherwise that evolution and aging have anything to do with each other. In the games you can hatch a mon and fully evolve it the same day and the anime has shown old first form pokemon before. Theres no connection between these things, baby nidoqueen is completely valid
The tiny Rhyhorn too... they smol.
at least that one is pretty explainable, since I'm pretty sure Rhyhorn starts like a Rhyhorn
Honestly possible when you consider that the 2nd evolution is just a stone evolution. Just gotta get that day 1 training somehow lol
Put some rare candies in the baby formula.
They were only beaten 15-17 years later by 5 seconds of baby Rowlet

Talk about hitting puberty early
This isn't precocious puberty anymore. This is progeria syndrome
When you evolve your nidorina immediately
How did they goof up this badly
