Ash's Rowlet didn't evolve in Pokémon Sun & Moon primarily because it accidentally swallowed an Everstone, a held item that prevents evolution, but also because the writers kept it as a cute, comedic relief Pokémon and it proved strong and useful without evolving, even mastering powerful moves like Seed Bomb. While it could have evolved in the Alola League, the Everstone (which it could use like a rock for attacks) stopped it, solidifying its role as a unique, non-evolving Alolan starter.
