Cobra Form (コブラフォーム, Kobura Fōmu) is Evol's primary and default form accessed with the Cobra and Rider Evolbottles. Evolto labels this form as "Phase 1" (フェーズ1, Fēzu Wan).

As Evol, Evolto possesses tremendous power, as the Evol-Driver allows him to tap on the full power of the Pandora Box. His specs blow far past Grease, Rogue, and even Cross-Z Magma by a small margin. He also surpasses Build's RabbitRabbit and TankTank forms, though he loses to RabbitRabbit by maximum jump height and running speed, and TankTank by maximum kicking power.

Despite these small disadvantages, he still possesses abilities that are almost impossible to counteract, including teleportation and generating energy in his hand to perform an energy blast. He is also able to attack in extremely high speeds and block attacks quite easily, as shown during his first fight with Rogue.

His Evol Cobra Head (ＥＶＯ-コブラヘッド, Ebo Kobura Heddo) contains the Xeno Head Armor (ゼノヘッドアーマー, Zeno Heddo Āmā) which strengthens its durability within each Phase. Between his EVO Twin Eye Cobra (EVOツインアイコブラ, Ebo Ai Kobura) lies the Master Planisphere (マスタープラニスフィア, Masutā Puranisufia), a device that allows him to determine which celestial body is his next target and formulate the suitable method of destroying it.

In this form, Evol's armor parts are:

• EVO Cobra Shoulder (EVOコブラショルダー, Ebo Kobura Shorudā): A pair of shoulder armor that allows him to improve attack accuracy. Each has a built-in miniature plant that secretes toxic gases as enhancers of the user's ability.
• Menace Rush Arms (メナスラッシュアーム, Menasu Rasshu Āmu): Evol's arms. Through an unknown substance that filled his suit, Evol's strength and speed are enhanced. By himself, Evol can manipulate a special aura that can move objects at will or detain his opponents.
• EVO Xeno Vader Gloves (EVOゼノベイダーグローブ, Ebo Zeno Beidā Gurōbu): Enhanced combat gloves that allows him to create strong punches by manipulating nearby space.
• Menace Rush Legs (メナスラッシュレッグ, Menasu Rasshu Reggu): Evol's leg units. Through an unknown substance that filled his suit, Evol's strength and speed are enhanced. By himself, Evol can manipulate a special aura that allows him to move objects or run at a tremendous speed.
• EVO Xeno Vader Shoes (EVOゼノベイダーシューズ, Ebo Zeno Beidā Shūzu): Evol's combat shoes. Each can perform kick attacks by manipulating nearby space.
• Xeno Chest Armor (ゼノチェストアーマー, Zeno Chesuto Āmā): Chhest armor which compresses and produces unknown substances within the Evolbottles. Said armor is stronger than any material on Earth and its durability increases within each Phase.
• Armilla Reactor (アーミラリアクター, Āmira Riakutā): An Armillary sphere-themed conversion furnace which converts the unknown substance within Evolbottles into strong destructive energy. By completing all Phases, it can demonstrate its true ability.
• EVO Omniverse Suit (EVOオムニバーススーツ, Ebo Omunibāsu Sūtsu): An enhanced battle suit that can emit blocking energy field, allowing Evol to protect himself from enemy attacks or carry out planetary destruction safely. It can also draw out the user's hidden ability and strengthen them based on the Phase.
• EVO Material (EVOマテリアル, Ebo Materiaru): Golden armor parts on Evol's body. They can amplify Evolto's special abilities, empower wave attacks, generate annihilation poisons and allow warp teleportation.

Carried over from from Blood Stalk, Evol wields the Transteam Gun and Steam Blade in this form. He is also able to wield any of Build's weapons if he inserts the corresponding Fullbottle into the Evol-Driver along with Rider Evolbottle.

This form has three finishers:

• Evol Driver Finishers:
  • Evoltic Finish (エボルテックフィニッシュ, Eborutekku Finisshu) This finisher has two variations:
    • Rider Kick: Evol generates an energy star map beneath his feet that then transforms into a dark red and dark blue energy galaxy that flows into his right foot before delivering an explosive kick.
    • Rider Punch: Evol delivers a flaming punch.
• Steam Rifle Finishers:
  • Steam Shot (スチームショット, Suchīmu Shotto): Evol channels the powers of a Evolbottle/Fullbottle and performs a powerful steam blast attack.
    • Cobra Evolbottle
      • Elek Steam: Evol shoots a red and blue homing shot coated in electricity
• Evol Driver + Hawk Gatlinger Finisher:
  • Kikanhou Finish/Full Bullet: Evol inserts the Gatling Fullbottle into the Evol Driver and turns the crank, summoning the Hawk Gatlinger. He then spins the Revol-Magazine of the Hawk Gatling and fires a stream of large energy hawks.

This form grants higher punching, kicking, and jumping power power than Cobra Form, although it is slower by a very small margin. As Ryuga also possesses the ability to use the Pandora Box, Evolto is still able to access the entirety of Evol's power.

Evol's weapon in this form is the Beat Closer.

This form has two finishers:

Black Hole Form (ブラックホールフォーム, Burakku Hōru Fōmu) is Evol's final form accessed by upgrading Cobra Form with the Evol Trigger. Evol refers this form as "Phase 4" (フェーズ４, Fēzu Fō). This was Evolto's natural form before being sealed by Vernage, and after achieving it once again, he no longer needs to possess a host.

Black Hole Form consists of the following parts:

• EVO Black Hole Head (EVO-ブラックホールヘッド, EVO - Burakku Hōru Heddo) - The head.
  • EV-BH Signal Blades (EVO-BHシグナルブレード, EVO-BH Shigunaru Burēdo) - The data collection device unit.

  • EVO Master Black Hole (EVOマスターブラックホール, EVO Masutā Burakku Hōru) - The destruction unit installed in the EVO Black Hole Head. It reads the makeover's thinking, it has a role to manipulate freely the range of influence and power of special attacks using a black hole.
  • EVO Face Guard (EVOマスターブラックホール, EVO Feisu Gādo) - The protective device that protects the wearer's head. In response to an enemy's physical attack, it is possible to release a shockwave that counteracts and invalidate the damage.
• EVO Annihilate Shoulders (EVOアナイアレイショルダー, EVO Anaiarei Shorudā) - The shoulder armor. It has a role to optimize the motion of the arm and increase the attack accuracy. In addition, a small environmental modification plant is built in and it is possible to freely control the surrounding composition of gas and liquid in the surroundings. It also has the function of creating harmful substances acting only on specific organisms and spreading them over a wide range.
• EVO Vector Robe (EVOベクターローブ, EVO Bekutā Rōbu) - The special propulsion unit. In addition to creating propulsion when moving between celestial bodies, it has a function to control the surrounding gravity. In addition, the weighted acceleration at the time of feeding the usual fighting style, and can also be enhanced to intense blow comparable to the deathblow.
• Void Chest Armor (ヴォイドチェストアーマー, Vu~oido Chesuto Āmā) - Black Hole Form's chest armor. It is an armor which compressed and processed unknown substances contained in Evolbottles and has better durability than any object on Earth. Moreover, it is possible to invalidate enemy attacks by deploying a space shield of emptiness that a normal human being cannot recognize.
• Catastrophe Reactor (カタストロフィリアクター, Katasutorofi Riakutā) - The special conversion furnace incorporated in the chest. It has the role of converting unknown substances contained in Evolbottles into a strong destructive energy. It has the power to forcibly suspend all existing life activities within the influence range, special attack using the black hole and special reinforcement which raises its own combat ability up to 50 times is also possible. In addition, the burden during transformation increases explosively according to the power of special attacks and the degree of capacity enhancement.

In this form, Evolto's power rises to a tremendous degree, surpassing all of his previous forms and every other Rider in the series, though his jump height is still much lower than Build's RabbitRabbit Form and both his punching and kicking power are slightly lower than TankTank Form.

While still possessing all the abilities of Cobra Form, Evolto gains the ability to generate and manipulate small black holes. Once one of these black holes makes contact with an enemy, it traps them within itself and completely destroys them, leaving not trace behind.

This form's finisher is Black Hole Finish (ブラックホールフィニッシュ, Burakku Hōru Finisshu): Evol spins rapidly as a miniature black hole is generated behind him. The black hole then compresses into halo-like rings of energy as Evol delivers a powerful flying kick to the enemy, sending them into the black hole which kills them after a period of time.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Kamen Rider Evol is portrayed by suit actor Kazuya Okada (岡田 和也, Okada Kazuya).

Notes

• Kamen Rider Evol bears an astronomy motif due to Evolto's alien origins and Soichi Isurugi's career as an astronaut.
• Despite being shown in Televi-kun magazine, Rabbit Form never used the Drill Crusher in the show.
• Kamen Rider Evol-X is a recolor of his Black Hole form in the colors of Cobra Form and added shoulder capes. The eyes are in the color of Blood Stalk's. He also uses a Genius-like Fullbottle as well.
