List of Pokémon with form differences: Difference between revisions

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').

==Pokémon with multiple forms==

===Pikachu===

*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].

*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].

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.

===Burmy and Wormadam===

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

Upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget the special move associated with that appliance form. Upon changing into an appliance form, it will learn the special move associated with the form. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form; in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

===Giratina===

The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

===Shaymin===

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

In Pokémon Black and White, blue-striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as red-striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the blue-striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in Pokémon White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild blue-striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while red-striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, blue-striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a blue-striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Furfrou===

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

The different sizes of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites.

{{p|Hoopa}} has two Formes it can change between, using the [[Prison Bottle]] to temporarily change to its more powerful Forme.

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

===Oricorio===

{{p|Oricorio}} can change form by sipping the [[Nectar]] of certain flowers. Each of Oricorio's four styles has a different primary type; Oricorio's [[signature move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}} changes type to match the user's primary type.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF"

===Lycanroc===

{{p|Lycanroc}} has two different forms: Midday Form and Midnight Form. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, {{p|Rockruff}} will only evolve into Midday Form Lycanroc, while in Pokémon Moon, Rockruff will only evolve into Midnight Form Lycanroc. Both forms can be caught in the wild in both Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

===Wishiwashi===

{{p|Wishiwashi}} can change forms using its {{a|Schooling}} Ability if it is at least level 20. It will change from Solo Form to School Form at the start of a battle or at the end of a turn if its {{stat|HP}} is above 25% of its maximum HP. In School Form, Wishiwashi's appearance changes from a small fish into a larger fish consisting of multiple smaller fish. It will change back to Solo Form if its HP is below 25% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn.
