Primal Reversion uses the same English name but a different Japanese name to refer specifically to the transformed version of a Pokémon: '''Primal Reversion''' (Japanese: '''ゲンシカイキのすがた''' ''Primal Regression's Form''). This appears as the name of this form of Kyogre and Groudon in the [[Pokédex]], including in {{g|HOME}}. | |||
Pokémon that have undergone Primal Reversion are distinguished by the word "'''Primal'''" (starting with a capital letter) in front of their species name: '''Primal Kyogre''' and '''Primal Groudon'''. Each is described as their '''primal form''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|原始|げんし}}の{{ruby|姿|すがた}}''' ''primal form''), written in lowercase. | |||
