* '''Polymorphic Pokémorphs''' — As aforementioned, these Pokémorphs are usually humans who have the ability to transform into a Pokémon, mostly at will. They were usually based off of K. A. Applegate's ''Animorphs'' books.

* '''{{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|Moe anthropomorphic}} Pokémorphs''', also known as "'''<span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka Gijinka]</span> Pokémon'''" (Japanese: '''擬人化ポケモン''') — Anthropomorphic Pokémon that look mostly human, but contain ''{{wp|Moe (slang)|moe}}'' qualities. Many of these Pokémorphs tend to look like humans in {{wp|cosplay}}, though they often have some Pokémon features, such as tails, ears, fins, and wings.

* '''[[Burst]]''' — A technique used in [[Pokémon RéBURST]] that allows a human to temorarily transform into a Pokémon-human hybrid using a special item called a '''Burst Heart''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|B|バースト}}ハート''') in the vein of the typical <span class="plainlinks">[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HenshinHero Henshin Hero]</span>, though the owner can also enter the Burst Heart in order to communicate with the Pokémon trapped inside. Those who can use Burst are known as '''Burst Warriors''' (Japanese: '''バースト戦士'''). A minority of Pokémon fans consider RéBURST to be the only instance of Pokémorphs appearing in any canon, although the term "Pokémorph" is still not used in any canon material. Appearance-wise, the Burst form of a Burst Warrior appears to be somewhere between a gijinka and a fully anthropomorphic Pokémon, moreso gijinka.

* '''Taur Pokémorphs''' — Based off the {{wp|centaur|centaurs}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, these Pokémorphs have the upper body (head, arms, and torso) of a human, but the lower body (and, occasionally, the ears) of a Pokémon with a quadruped or other multi-legged body. Bipedal variations of these Pokémorphs are very rare.
