While there are {{numpkmn}} officially recognized [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]], with most members of an individual species looking relatively similar to one another, several Pokémon species have remarkable '''differences in appearance''' between members. At times, these differences are purely cosmetic, and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon not only differ in stats, but also type, depending on their form.
[[File:Mystri Stage artwork.png|thumb|250px|Various forms of {{p|Unown}}]]
{{TOC right}}
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''[[form]]s'''. These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. The process of form change allows some Pokémon to change between their different forms, such as with {{p|Castform}}, while other Pokémon have forms that they cannot change between, such as {{p|Unown}}. Other types of form differences include [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], [[regional form]]s, [[Mega Evolution]]s, and [[Gigantamax]] forms.


Among these are several [[legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are spelled officially as "Formes". Many of the forms are known to have special names, while others do not, and are thus only named in [[fanon]]. In Generations II-IV, whichever form is encountered first will be the form displayed in the [[Pokédex]] by default; i.e., a player who encountered a West Sea Shellos would have it appear in the Pokédex by default, while one who encounters an East Sea Shellos first would see that Shellos appear in the Pokédex first. In Generation V, the form displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} form, if it has been encountered.
==Overview==
Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].


==Pokémon with differing forms==
At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually named using the French word "Forme" instead.
===Pichu===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an alternate form of {{p|Pichu}} will appear at [[Ilex Forest]] (but only if the player has a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} in their party). This Pichu has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear, and is known as the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. It cannot evolve or be traded and cannot be transferred to {{game|Black and White}} using the [[Poké Transfer]].


{| align="center" style="background: #{{electric color light}}; {{roundy}};" width="225px"
Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], though {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, if West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was encountered first, its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will. In Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate [[Unown Mode]] to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]. In [[Generation V]], the forms section returns and displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the forms section is only available after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], while in {{B2W2}}, it is available from the start. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the image shown in the Pokédex.

===Unown===
Additionally, there exist form-like transformations and technical forms that are not recognized by the Pokédex, but otherwise appear or behave like unique forms or are treated as such in game code.
{{p|Unown}} was the first known Pokémon which had visual differences between individuals of the species. From the species' debut in [[Generation II]], each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation point}}.


A special [[Unown Dex]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, was available in [[Generation II]] after the player had caught several Unown. This was superseded in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by the [[Unown Report]], obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

Unown's form is determined in [[Generation III]] based on its [[personality value]]. Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], ! and ? Unown have different [[performance]] stats than their alphabetical brethren.
Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by changing its costume at a [[Contest Hall]].
* Each costume can learn an exclusive move.
* Exclusive to {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

===Spinda===
====[[Pikachu in a cap]]====
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (2<sup>32</sup> - 1).

===Castform===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Pikachu|Pikachu → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Castform}}'s first appearance at [[Hoenn]]'s [[Weather Institute]] in [[Generation III]] brought about the concept of interchangeable forms. Unlike other Pokémon, an individual Castform's form is not static, and will change, due to its [[ability]], with the [[weather]].


Normally, Castform takes on a rather plain appearance, with a gray body. In this form, it is of the {{type2|Normal}}; as could be expected, it is in this form that it is at its least effective.
==={{p|Pichu}}===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=172Pichu Dream.png|size=88px|pokemon=Pichu|form=Pichu|type=Electric}}
{{FormBox|image=Spiky-eared Pichu DP 1.png|size=100px|pokemon=Pichu|form=Spiky-eared Pichu|type=Electric}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


When Castform is exposed to {{weather|sun|bright rays of sunlight}}, it changes its form to a more sunny appearance, and becomes a {{type2|Fire}} (Sunny Form). In {{weather|rain}}, Castform becomes more like a raindrop, and becomes a {{type2|Water}} (Rainy Form). Finally, in {{weather|hail}}, Castform takes the form of a snowy cloud, and becomes an {{type2|Ice}} (Snowy Form).
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] cannot change forms.
It will not transform in any other [[weather conditions]].
* [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of regular Pichu.
* Exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.


If Castform has its ability {{a|Forecast}} negated, it will be locked in its current form and type, rather than reverting to its Normal form.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Pichu|Pichu → Form data}}'''.


Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

===Deoxys===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Tauros|Tauros → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Deoxys}}, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation III]], was the first known Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed, as well as its appearance, depending on its form. First introduced in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Deoxys was revealed to have three alternating forms, while a fourth was added later, with the release of {{game|Emerald}}. Like its base stats, its Pokéathlon performance varies depending on its form.


Deoxys's forms are game-specific in [[Generation III]], but can be changed at will in later generations by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], and [[Nacrene Gym]] in [[Unova]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.
Unown cannot change forms.
* [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats of the punctuation forms (! and ?) differ from those of the alphabetical forms.


It is in this form that Deoxys will be found in the wild on [[Birth Island]], though it will transform after it has been captured, depending on its [[Generation III]] game version.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Unown|Unown → Form data}}'''.


The Attack Forme is the appearance that Deoxys takes on in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, and it learns noticeably more powerful moves while in this form. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats have been maxed out, making it the most powerful of all Pokémon in both aspects, while its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its default form. Its defensive stats, however, take a harsh blow, lowering so much that it is only more powerful in {{stat|Defense}} than seven Pokémon (tied with three others), and is tied for last place in {{stat|Special Defense}} with five others, including {{p|Magikarp}}.

In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, the counterpart version to FireRed, Deoxys takes on a counterpart form to the Attack Forme, the Defense Forme. Whereas the Attack Forme had incredible offensive power (and incredibly weak defensive capabilities), Defense Forme inverts this somewhat, having mediocre offensive power (and a lower Speed stat) and heightened {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This form of Deoxys learns moves more attuned to attrition than to elimination, raising its already high defenses to protect against opponents' moves rather than attack them before they can attack.
Castform can change forms based on the [[weather]] in [[battle]]s due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}.


By far the quickest of all Pokémon, Deoxys in its Speed Forme learns many moves that can guarantee that it will strike before any other Pokémon can. Though it can still be outsped by a Pokémon with {{a|Speed Boost}}, Speed Forme Deoxys takes the uneven nature of the stats of Deoxys's other forms and balances them out, keeping it from hitting too hard, but at the same time, preventing it from being hit too hard itself.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Castform|Castform → Form data}}'''.


The {{stat|HP}} stat remains the same with each of the four formes.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Kyogre|Kyogre → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Groudon|Groudon → Form data}}'''.
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms, being the first Pokémon whose evolution depends on a specific form. Like others, Burmy can change form freely, depending on where it last participated in a battle actively ({{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} maintains a Burmy's form if it does not leave the [[Poké Ball]]); however, Wormadam's form is permanent.


If a Burmy last battled in a grassy outside area, hatched from an egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Plant Cloak, or hatched from an egg that had {{p|Mothim}} and {{p|Ditto}} as parents, it will be in its basic state, the Plant Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in leaves and twigs. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Plant Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

{{FormGroupFooter}}


If a Burmy last battled on a beach or in a cave, or hatched from an egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Sandy Cloak, it will be in the Sandy Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in sand and rocks. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Sandy Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.
Deoxys can change forms by interacting with certain meteorites.
* Have different [[base stats]] and level-up movesets from regular Deoxys.


If a Burmy last battled inside of a building, or hatched from an egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Trash Cloak, it will be in the Trash Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Trash Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Deoxys|Deoxys → Form data}}'''.


A Wormadam's stats and move compatibility vary with her form, in addition to type and appearance. The cloak a male Burmy takes on before evolution makes no difference, as it sheds it upon evolution into {{p|Mothim}}.

===Cherrim===
==={{p|Cherrim}}===
Like Castform, {{p|Cherrim}} changes its appearance depending on the weather, though not with all kinds. It will be in its Sunshine Form in {{weather|intense sunlight}} and its Overcast Form in any other weather. Due to its {{a|Flower Gift|ability}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form. Unlike Castform, its type does not change.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Cherrim|Cherrim → Form data}}'''.
Another [[Sinnoh]]-native [[evolution]] family, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} also have a difference, depending on, this time, whether the Pokémon in question was caught east or west of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Like others before, neither form can change to the other, but unlike other multiple-form Pokémon, the appearance of the mother is the determinant to the appearance of the hatched Pokémon.


Both West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon take on a pink appearance, while their East Sea cousins take on a blue hue. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

===Rotom===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Shellos|Shellos → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Gastrodon|Gastrodon → Form data}}'''.
In August of 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, five silhouetted Pokémon were shown, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were alternate forms of {{p|Rotom}}.


In each of these forms, Rotom has possessed a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}; Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}; Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}; Fan Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|mechanical fan|rotary fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}; and Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.
==={{p|Rotom}}===

Until [[Generation V]], all forms of Rotom were {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type. All alternate forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom (except normal Rotom has a higher base stat in speed).
Rotom can change forms based on the appliance it is possessing.

===Giratina===
==={{anchor|Dialga|{{p|Dialga}}}}, {{anchor|Palkia|{{p|Palkia}}}}, and {{anchor|Giratina|{{p|Giratina}}}}===
{{p|Giratina}}, much like {{p|Deoxys}} had been earlier, was announced to have an alternate form in the then-upcoming ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' in February, 2008. One of the two forms is the familiar form to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, designated as Altered Forme Giratina, while the other is a more serpentine form that was not previously known, the Origin Forme.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=0483Dialga.png|size=100px|pokemon=Dialga|form|type=Steel|type2=Dragon}}

{{FormBox|image=0487Giratina-Origin.png|size=100px|pokemon=Giratina|form=Origin Forme|type=Ghost|type2=Dragon}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


The Origin Forme is known as Giratina's natural form, which it appears in in its home of the [[Reverse World]] (in the anime) and [[Distortion World]] (in the games). If it travels to the [[Pokémon world]], it assumes its Altered Forme. Both Formes appear in {{game|Platinum}}, where Giratina is captured in the [[Distortion World]] in its more offense-oriented Origin Forme, and will revert to the defensive Altered Forme outside of this area unless it holds the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.
Dialga can change forms by being given an [[Adamant Crystal]].
* Has different [[base stats]] from regular Dialga.

Palkia can change forms by being given a [[Lustrous Globe]].

===Shaymin===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Dialga|Dialga → Form data}}''', '''{{fd|Palkia|Palkia → Form data}}''', and '''{{fd|Giratina|Giratina → Form data}}'''.
As with Giratina, an alternate form of the event Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} was announced to appear in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and is, in fact, the titular sky warrior. This new Sky Forme of Shaymin, with the previously-known form now called the Land Forme, has a completely altered appearance and, rather than being a pure-{{type2|Grass}}, is now {{2t|Grass|Flying}}.


Like Giratina and Deoxys's transformations are activated by an external source, Shaymin's is activated by contact with a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}, whose bouquets look almost like a sleeping Shaymin.

{{FormGroupFooter}}


A Shaymin in its Sky Forme will revert to its Land Forme if {{status|frozen}} or during {{DL|Time|night}}.
Shaymin can change forms by being exposed to a [[Gracidea]].
* Has different [[base stats]], [[Ability]], [[cry]], level-up moveset, and [[type]] from Land Forme Shaymin.


Upon changing forms, Shaymin also changes its [[cry]]. It is the only Pokémon to do so.

===Arceus===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Arceus|Arceus → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different forms, each with a slightly different coloration, which correspond to the eighteen different [[elemental type]]s.


Arceus's transformation between these forms is brought about by its held item: if it is holding a [[plate]], it draws its type from that plate as stated in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]], while remaining {{type2|Normal}} when not holding a plate or holding any non-plate item.

{{FormBox|image=0550Basculin-White.png|size=100px|pokemon=Basculin|form=White-Striped Form|type=Water}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


The {{type2|???}} form of Arceus exists only in Generation IV, and is currently unavailable in any legitimate manner, as there is no plate to turn it to this type. Educated speculation attributes this to an attempt made by Game Freak as an error handler. This is supported by the fact that there is no ???-type sprite data for Arceus in the Generation V games, because the ???-type was removed entirely from Generation V.
Basculin cannot change forms.


While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its Pokéathlon performance changes slightly. Additionally, it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}.

===Basculin===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Basculin|Basculin → Form data}}''' and '''{{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Basculegion|List of Pokémon with gender differences → Basculegion}}'''.
Similar to {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, {{p|Basculin}} can appear in two different forms — the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red Stripe form sports a red stripe, with wide eyes and spiky fins, while the other has a blue stripe, with squinted eyes and smooth fins. Its color depends on the version it is found in, with the Red-Striped Form appearing in {{game|Black and White|s|Black}} and the Blue-Striped Form appearing in {{game|Black and White|s|White}}. However, rare instances of the other color can be found in the game by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].


Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
Deerling and Sawsbuck can change forms in [[Generation V]] based on the current {{season}} and in [[Generation IX]] based on the location the game is loaded in. They cannot change forms in [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] through [[Generation VIII|VIII]].
{{p|Deerling}} changes its appearance depending on the [[Seasons|season]], each of which lasts a month in real time. During spring, its coat will be pink; during summer, green; during autumn, orange; and during winter, brown.


{{p|Sawsbuck}}, Deerling's evolved form, also differs with the season. It has flowers in its antlers during spring; a full set of leaves in its antlers, a lack of fur at its neck and legs, and the addition of a mane and upright tail during summer; brown and wilting leaves during autumn; and white antlers along with sections of thicker, white fur during winter.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Deerling|Deerling → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Sawsbuck|Sawsbuck → Form data}}'''.


In both instances, the Pokémon will change forms when the season changes (when the players exits a cave or building) while it is in the party.

If {{p|Meloetta}} uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} (which it can learn from a man in [[Castelia City]]) in battle, it will change between its Aria and Pirouette Formes, changing its typing between {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}.

However, this does not change Genesect's type, but rather the type of the move {{m|Techno Blast}}. If it lacks a Drive, it will be {{type2|Normal}}. The four Drives that can be equipped are the Shock, Burn, Chill, and Douse Drive, which make the move {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{type2|Water}}, respectively. Otherwise, the change is purely cosmetic, with the physical difference being the ammo cartridge in Genesect's cannon. The Chill Drive and the Douse Drive are exclusive to Pokémon White while the Shock Drive and the Burn Drive are exclusive to Pokémon Black.

* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

* {{p|Shellder}} also changes between bivalve and spiral-shaped variations depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s {{p|Slowking|head}} or {{p|Slowbro|tail}}.
**Though impossible in the games, if a Slowbro or Slowking loses its Shellder, it is said to "devolve" into a Slowpoke, giving them more characteristics of form differences than actual evolutions.
* From [[Generation IV]] onward, there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]], some drastically, some not.
[[File:Pokemon XD Dark Lugia.png|thumb|left|150px|XD001]]
* [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]] was a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Lugia}} that was so thoroughly corrupted that its appearance changed.
* [[Primal Dialga|A Dialga]] also changed its appearance when it lost control of time in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}.
[[File:Porygon Sharpen Forms 2.png|thumb|right|150px|Three variations of Porygon using {{m|Sharpen}}]]
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in Pearl says that the special patterns on its back vary from region to region. Unlike Arbok, however, its backsprite shows no difference between Sinnoh and Johto games, as Mantyke is not found wild in Johto; however, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it is found, its "eyes" are slightly farther apart.
* The {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplet forms have been discovered; however, this variant has not been shown in any Pokémon media. A third section of Weezing (without a face) appears on every Weezing seen so far.
* In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland]]'', a {{p|Mismagius}} merged with a {{p|Rayquaza}} illusion it created, with the result appearing to be a form difference of Rayquaza.
[[File:Duplica Ditto Machoke.png|thumb|left|150px|A Ditto "transformed" as a {{p|Machoke}}]]
* {{p|Ditto}} is known for its ability to {{m|transform}} into an exact replica of any other Pokémon. However, [[Duplica#Ditto|some Ditto]] are incapable of changing their face, with the result being a deformed replica of the target Pokémon with a flat, Ditto-like face.
*{{p|Porygon}} is able to change its color, shape and type to match its target with {{m|Conversion}}. It is also capable of changing its color and shape by using {{m|Sharpen}}.
*{{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}} differ drastically depending on whether they are [[Gender differences|male or female]]. However, it is debatable whether or not these are true form differences, or simply extreme gender differences. Additionally, unlike other Pokémon that differ in appearance based on their gender, Frillish and Jellicent have box sprites and [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for each form.
*{{p|Unfezant}}, like Frillish and Jellicent, have drastic form differences depending on whether they are [[Gender differences|male or female]]. However, female Unfezant surpass the male form in flying ability, possibly due to the females lacking the large {{wp|wattle (anatomy)|wattles}} belonging to the male. Unfezant also has box sprites and [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for each form.

Alcremie's form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of [[Sweet]]. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-[[Gigantamax]] forms of Alcremie, not including its {{Shiny}} coloration.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number}}
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Pokémon with different forms have different {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.
 
Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the [[first partner Pokémon]]. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.
 
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences (GO)}}
The majority of Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}. Although every species has one [[Pokédex]] entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a [[trade]] will be considered a Special Trade.
 
==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation IX]], four Pokémon have form differences that remain unobtainable. These are:
** {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, which only existed in the code for the [[Generation IV]] games and is unavailable without hacking.
** Eternal Flower {{p|Floette}}, which only exists in the code for the [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] games, and remains in the data of [[Pokémon HOME]].
** Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}, which is only seen in the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}} and when Eternatus uses {{m|Eternabeam}}.
** {{p|Revavroom}}'s Starmobile forms, which are only seen being used by the bosses of [[Team Star]].
* Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose [[regional form]]s have further form differences.
** {{p|Hoopa}} is the only Mythical Pokémon whose form change outright increases base stats, rather than re-distributing them.
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon whose [[Gigantamax]] form has form differences.
*** Although {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.
** {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
*** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.

Latest revision as of 02:10, 9 June 2024

Some Pokémon have major variations between individuals, known as forms. These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the Pokédex. The process of form change allows some Pokémon to change between their different forms, such as with Castform, while other Pokémon have forms that they cannot change between, such as Unown. Other types of form differences include gender differences, regional forms, Mega Evolutions, and Gigantamax forms.

Various forms of Unown

Overview

Form differences were introduced in Generation II, in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent generations have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in Generation III.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in stats, type, Ability, moves they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, whose alternate forms are usually named using the French word "Forme" instead.

Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, every official different form has a name given by the Pokédex, though Arceus, Genesect, and Furfrou's alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Generations II, III, and IV, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, if West Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will. In Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate Unown Mode to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as gender differences. In Generation V, the forms section returns and displays Shiny Pokémon as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In Pokémon Black and White, the forms section is only available after interacting with Cedric Juniper in Mistralton City, while in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, it is available from the start. Starting in Generation VI, the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the image shown in the Pokédex.

Additionally, there exist form-like transformations and technical forms that are not recognized by the Pokédex, but otherwise appear or behave like unique forms or are treated as such in game code.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem

Reshiram, Zekrom, White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their signature moves (Fusion Flare and Blue Flare for Reshiram, Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

For more details, see Reshiram → Biology, Zekrom → Biology, and Kyurem → Biology.

Solgaleo and Lunala enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. They both enter this phase while in Ultra Space (although not while in battle) or when using their signature moves. For Solgaleo, these moves are Sunsteel Strike and Searing Sunraze Smash; for Lunala, these are Moongeist Beam and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.

For more details, see Koraidon → Biology and Miraidon → Biology.

Pokémon with technical forms

Some Pokémon have forms which are only distinguished internally within the game's programming. Most of these forms are not visually distinct from one another, but may still have an impact on gameplay.

Pikachu and Eevee

The partner Pikachu and partner Eevee given to the player in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are each considered separate forms internally. They use higher quality models, have higher base stats, and are unable to evolve, along with many other minor differences.

For more details, see Pikachu → Form data and Eevee → Form data.

Mothim

Mothim has three forms internally, each corresponding to the three forms of Burmy it can evolve from.

For more details, see Mothim → Form data.

Greninja

 
Greninja
 
Battle Bond Greninja

Greninja with the Ability Battle Bond are treated as a separate form to other Greninja, and cannot breed.

For more details, see Greninja → Form data.

Zygarde

The 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability Aura Break are each treated as separate forms from the 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability Power Construct. This explains why the Ability Capsule can't be used to change Zygarde's Ability, only the Zygarde Cube can.

For more details, see Zygarde → Form data.

Scatterbug and Spewpa

 
Scatterbug
 
Spewpa

Vivillon patterns are each treated as separate forms. Because Vivillon's pattern is determined by the location the Scatterbug is generated in, each of Vivillon's 20 patterns has a corresponding form for both Scatterbug and Spewpa.

For more details, see Scatterbug → Form data and Spewpa → Form data.

Rockruff

Rockruff with the Ability Own Tempo are treated as a separate form to other Rockruff, and will always evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc.

For more details, see Rockruff → Form data.

In other games

Pokémon Shuffle

Main article: List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number

In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon with different forms have different Skills and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.

Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the first partner Pokémon. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.

Pokémon GO

Main article: List of Pokémon with form differences (GO)

The majority of Pokémon in Pokémon GO have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of Shaymin, Furfrou, and Hoopa. Although every species has one Pokédex entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a trade will be considered a Special Trade.

Trivia

  • As of Generation IX, four Pokémon have form differences that remain unobtainable. These are:
  • Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:
    • Darmanitan and Tauros are the only Pokémon whose regional forms have further form differences.
    • Hoopa is the only Mythical Pokémon whose form change outright increases base stats, rather than re-distributing them.
    • Urshifu is the only Pokémon whose Gigantamax form has form differences.
      • Although Toxtricity and Alcremie have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.
    • Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
      • Rotom has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
