In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, there is a variation of Pokémon known as [[alpha Pokémon]]. These Pokémon are known to be larger, stronger, and more aggressive than normal Pokémon and have red eyes. The [[noble Pokémon]] (particularly {{p|Avalugg}}) and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that the player encounters as part of the game's story are also bigger than other Pokémon of their kin. Additionally, all Pokémon come in various sizes, with some being dramatically larger than others of their species.
