The same English name but a different Japanese name refers 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 [[Pokémon HOME]].
The process is said to restore a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s true powers as it absorbs the energy of nature to greatly increase its potential. It has been described in-game as an ancient form of [[Evolution|Pokémon Evolution]]. Primal Reversion has been absent from the [[core series]] since {{g|Sword and Shield}}, however it still appears in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, as well as in other media.
 
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 of them is as a '''primal form''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|原始|げんし}}の{{ruby|姿|すがた}}''' ''primal form''), written in lowercase.
