List of Pokémon with form differences
Pokémon with official major variations between individuals are known as alternate forms. These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the Pokédex.
Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, every official different form has a name given by the Pokédex; however, Arceus, Genesect and Furfrou's alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching Mistralton City, even to a Shiny sprite, if it has been encountered. In Generation VI, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.
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 Legendary Pokémon, whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as Formes (Japanese: フォルム form).
Pokémon with multiple forms
Pikachu
- Main article: Cosplay Pikachu
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest category (Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness, and Toughness) and learn an exclusive move associated with that Contest category. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot evolve or breed.
If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns Thunder Shock.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first Pokémon Contest, a Breeder will give the player Cosplay Pikachu.

Pichu
- Main article: Spiky-eared Pichu
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's Pokéathlon performance stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot evolve or be traded, and she cannot be transferred to the Generation V games.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a Pikachu-colored Pichu to the Ilex Forest, Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

Unown
Unown has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in Generation II, there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the Latin alphabet. Starting in the Generation III games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the question mark and exclamation mark.
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, there is a special Unown Dex, an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the Ruins of Alph to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player had caught several Unown. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is the Unown Report, which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the Ruins of Alph.
In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its IVs, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be Shiny due to Shiniess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the Generation III games, Unown's form is determined by its personality value. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.
Though the form has no bearing on base stats, ! and ? Unown have different performance stats to alphabetical Unown.

Castform
Castform has four different forms, which its Ability Forecast causes it to change between in different weather conditions. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.
Normally, Castform is Normal-type and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by Cloud Nine or Air Lock.
In intense sunlight, Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is Fire-type and resembles the sun. In rain, Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is Water-type and resembles a raindrop. In hail, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is Ice-type and resembles a a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when withdrawn from battle.
In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).
Castform's stats do not change between any of these forms.

Deoxys
Deoxys has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose base stats and move compatibility differed depending on its form.
In the Generation III games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
- In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it will be in Normal Forme.
- In Pokémon FireRed, it will be in Attack Forme.
- In Pokémon LeafGreen, it will be in Defense Forme.
- In Pokémon Emerald, it will be in Speed Forme.
From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
- In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, using meteorites outside in Veilstone City.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, using meteorites outside on Route 3.
- In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, using meteorites in the Nacrene Museum in Nacrene City.
- In Pokémon X and Y, using meteorites in the Fossil Lab in Ambrette Town.
- In Pokémon 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 Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.
Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher Attack and Special Attack than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its Defense and Special Defense are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its Speed remains the same as its Normal Forme. This is the form Deoxys appears in in the player's possession in Pokémon FireRed
Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher Defense and Special Defense than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its Attack and Special Attack are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its Speed is also significantly lower than its Normal Form.
Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher Speed than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased priority moves.
Deoxys has the same HP stat in all of its forms.

Burmy and Wormadam
Both Burmy and its female evolution, Wormadam, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so Exp. Share alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.
Apart from breeding and evolution, Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different types, 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 Mothim and a Ditto.
If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a Bug/Grass Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.
If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a Bug/Ground Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.
If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a Bug/Steel Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink insulation

Cherrim
Cherrim changes form depending on the weather. During intense sunlight, it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability Flower Gift, its Attack and Special Defense will also increase in its Sunshine Form.
In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.
In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 form, the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

Shellos and Gastrodon
Shellos and Gastrodon differ in appearance depending on where it was caught. This is purely a cosmetic change, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.
In Sinnoh, West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of Mt. Coronet, and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.
Bred Shellos are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with Ditto.

Rotom
- Heat redirects here. For the Badge given by Flannery, see Badge → Heat Badge.
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different household appliance, and each has its own special move. These alternate forms were introduced in Pokémon Platinum.
- Normal Rotom, which has not possessed an appliance, is Electric/Ghost
- Heat Rotom, which has possessed a microwave oven, knows Overheat and is Electric/Fire
- Wash Rotom, which has possessed a washing machine, knows Hydro Pump and is Electric/Water
- Frost Rotom, which has possessed a refrigerator, knows Blizzard and is Electric/Ice
- Fan Rotom, which has possessed an electric fan, knows Air Slash and is Electric/Flying
- Mow Rotom, which has possessed a lawnmower, knows Leaf Storm and is Electric/Grass
In Generation IV, all forms of Rotom are Electric/Ghost-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.
In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in Rotom's Room in Galactic Eterna Building, which can only be accessed by using the Secret Key. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the appliances are located in Rotom's Room in Silph Co., which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the walking Pokémon. In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of Shopping Mall Nine. In Pokémon X and Y, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in Lumiose City. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the appliances are located in boxes in Professor Birch's lab in Littleroot Town. Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.
If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. When Rotom changes between forms, it forgets the move tied to its prior form if it was an appliance form. If Rotom changes back to its normal form while the only move it knows is the move tied to its appliance form, Rotom learns Thunder Shock.
Bred Rotom are always in normal form.
In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the Union Room or Wi-Fi Club, or when deposited in the Day Care.
Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of Pokémon Platinum, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every core series game since.

Giratina
Giratina has two forms it can change between.
In the Pokémon world, it is normally in its Altered Forme, which is a winged hexapod; in the Distortion World or while holding a Griseous Orb, it is in its Origin Forme, which is serpentine with six appendages. The Origin Forme was introduced in Pokémon Platinum.
The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

Shaymin
Shaymin has two forms it can change between.
Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is Grass-type and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a Gracidea, Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is Grass/Flying-type and white in color; however, Shaymin cannot remain in Sky Forme at night or while frozen. The Sky Forme was introduced in Pokémon Platinum.
The two forms have different stats, Abilities, types, learnsets, and cries.

Arceus
Arceus has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different types.
Arceus's type depends on its held Plate, becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances, remaining Normal-type when not holding a Plate.
While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its Pokéathlon performance differs. Additionally, it can learn Draco Meteor only while holding the Draco Plate.
In the Generation IV games, there is dummy data and a sprite programmed for a ???-type Arceus, but it cannot be obtained as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in Generation V due to the removal of the ??? type.
Prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the Pokédex.

Basculin
Basculin has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins.
- In Pokémon Black and Black 2, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.
- In Pokémon White and White 2, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.
Bred Basculin are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with Ditto.
Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a DeepSeaTooth while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a DeepSeaScale.
In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin—Reckless and Adaptability (and is listed as such in Pokédex 3D); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in White has the Ability Rock Head. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are Rock Head and Adaptability, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in Pokédex 3D Pro). However, Blue-Striped Basculin 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.

Darmanitan
If Darmanitan has Zen Mode as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.
Standard Mode Darmanitan is Fire-type and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is Fire/Psychic-type and blue in color.
The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

Deerling and Sawsbuck
Deerling and Sawsbuck have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a season. These forms are purely cosmetic.
In the Generation V games, if the player steps outside from a cave or building such that the season changes, any Deerling and Sawsbuck in their party will change form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the Battle Subway and the Pokémon World Tournament where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.
In Generation VI, all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be transferred from a Generation V game.
Bred Deerling are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with Ditto.
Deerling's different forms differ only in their coat.
- Spring Form Deerling have a pink coat
- Summer Form Deerling have a green coat
- Autumn Form Deerling have a orange coat
- Winter Form Deerling have a brown coat
Sawsbuck's different forms differ in significant ways, particularly their antlers.
- Spring Form Deerling have flowers in their antlers
- Summer Form Deerling have leaves in their antlers, a lack of fur at their neck and legs, a mane, and upright tail
- Autumn Form Deerling have wilting brown leaves in their antlers
- Winter Form Deerling have white antlers and sections of thicker white fur

Forces of Nature
The Forces of Nature—Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus—have two interchangeable forms each.
Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a Reveal Glass, they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
The two forms have different stats, Abilities, and cries. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.
In the Generation V games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

Kyurem
Kyurem, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the version mascots of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, which they were introduced in.
In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the DNA Splicers, which fuses it with Reshiram or Zekrom. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and held item. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time.
White Kyutem has the Ability Turboblaze, learns the moves Fusion Flare and Ice Burn, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.
Black Kyurem has the Ability Teravolt, learns the moves Fusion Bolt and Freeze Shock, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Keldeo
Keldeo has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
If Keldeo is taught Secret Sword in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 or a Generation VI game, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in Pokémon Black and White remain in Ordinary Form in other games.
This form was revealed in the June 2012 issue of CoroCoro Comic.

Meloetta
Meloetta has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is Normal/Psychic. Pirouette Forme is Normal/Fighting.
Normally, it is in Aria Forme, which is the only form it can take outside of battle. If Meloetta uses the move Relic Song in battle, it changes between the two forms.

Flabébé, Floette, and Florges
Flabébé and Floette can hold five different-colored flowers based on the color of the flower bed they were caught in: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. When Floette evolves into Florges, it maintains that color flower. The color of the flower cannot be changed.
Bred Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother.
Since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the Friend Safari, only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability Symbiosis.

Furfrou
Furfrou can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims will only last five days after the player has groomed the Pokémon, or until the player deposits it in the PC.
Furfrou can be groomed at Friseur Furfrou in Lumiose City or at the Pokémon Fan Club in Slateport City. At both locations, grooming costs $500. At Friseur Furfrou, the player cannot initially select from all of the trims, with trims being unlocked gradually as the player becomes more stylish.
Prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Furfrou's trims are not registered in the Pokédex.

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist
Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are more rare to encounter in the wild.
Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.
Bred Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or as the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with Ditto.
Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a 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.
Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability Insomnia. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the Friend Safari; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo.

Xerneas
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the Pokémon screen, and Pokémon-Amie. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns also light up in several colors.
