When your Chao curls into a cocoon for the first time, it comes out as either Hero, Dark, or Neutral.
This affects how your Chao evolves for the second time.
When your Chao evolves into one of the 3 types, it changes according to what colour animals/drives you have given it the most.
This was its FIRST evolution.
After this evolution, if you give it more animals/drives.
It will change again depending on what new colour you have given it the most.
This will be its SECOND evolution.
However, for the second evolution, your Chao will not go into a cocoon.
It is just a change that will take place gradually as you give it more of a certain colour of animal/drive,
and as the Chao grows. It is more noticable if you wait for a while before you start attempting a second evolution.
A guideline to see when the change will happen is usually after its first (natural) mating season.
It will achieve the second evolution quite late on in its life (about 3-4 years for Gamecube).
You can get a huge variety of different Chao!
It will take as many drives/animals as a first evolution would, and it is not dependant on stats!
For example it could have a very high stat in running, but when it comes to its second evolution,
and you give it yellow drives/animals, it will go into that path.
Also, after the second evolution is done, you can make it change to a different evolution by giving it drives of that colour.
For Example, If I had a Neutral/Fly/Run Chao,
I could give it a lot of red class animals/drives and It would start to change from an Neutral/Fly/Run Chao to a Neutral/Fly/Power Chao.
So now, just so you understand, (i've still been getting emails about this) the FIRST colour/type is the FIRST evolution.
The Second colour/type is the SECOND evolution.
If you want to see what colours are what types, go back to the Evolution 1 page.
Just to go over it again: Dark/Fly/Power would mean when it is a baby,
you give it purple drives/animals, and turn it Dark.
Then after it cocoons it will evolve as a Dark/Fly Chao.
Now step one is done, we aim to create a second evoluton.
Give it red animals/drives around 3-4 years of age and it will gradually change into what you want,
which is a Dark/Fly/Power Chao.
