Individuals die. Only the progeny of individuals carry on the genetic variation that is in populations. Selection works on this variation in populations by working on variation passed along by the sex cells. Somatic cells of the individual can have any mutation, but can not pass it on to progeny. Sex cell, having mutation which allow selection to choose among variation, lead to evolutionary processes.

∙ 11y agoAn individual can evolve in a way - in their thinking or way of looking at life. The other kind of evolution in a physical sense, takes many generations for even a tiny change to happen.
Added:
Because individual die and all changes to their somatic genomes die with them. Only mutations, or regular recombination events, in the germ line can be passed on to progeny which can then change the allele frequency in the populations gene pool.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.

Nothing because it cannot evolve.
What does fearow evolve into?
Fearow does not evolve. Spearow, however, evoles into Fearow.
What did you evolve from?
I did not evolve from anything! Individuals are naturally selected and populations evolve. Understanding this simple fact can explain certain things that creationists do not seem to understand. Such questions as, " where did the first man find the first woman? " When you understand that populations evolve and individuals are selected then you will see that questions as the one you asked and questions as the one I used as an example are just silly.
How do you evolve a Mewtwo?
mewtwo cannot evolve legandaries cannot evolve
Did you evolve?
Populations evolve, individuals are selected.
Why is population the smallest unit of organism that can evolve?
Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies over time. Since individuals have only the set of alleles that they're born with, an individual cannot evolve. This leaves the population as the smallest unit that can evolve.
