List of Pokémon with form differences: Difference between revisions

{{p|Minior}} has two forms that it changes between with its Ability, {{a|Shields Down}}. It will change from Core Form to Meteor Form at the start of a battle or at the end of a turn if its {{stat|HP}} is above 50% of its maximum HP. If its HP falls below 50% of its maximum HP, its shell breaks and it changes back to Core Form at the end of that turn. Outside of battle, Minior is always in Core Form. However, wild Minior are always encountered in Meteor Form.

{{p|Cramorant}} has three base forms, all activated by its [[Ability]], {{a|Gulp Missile}}. When Cramorant activates Gulp Missile with over 50% {{stat|HP}}, it will change into Gulping Form, where it tries to swallow an {{p|Arrokuda}}. If an opponent hits Gulping Form Cramorant with an attack, it will spit out the Arrokuda, damaging the opponent and lowering their {{stat|Defense}}. If Cramorant's HP is under 50%, it will change into Gorging Form, where it attempts to swallow a {{p|Pikachu}} instead. If an opponent hits Gorging Form Cramorant, the counterattack will damage and {{status|Paralyze}} them.

{{p|Alcremie}} have two different parameters in which their forms differ: cream and sweet. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body (unless it is {{Shiny}}), while sweets affect its eye color and the decoration on its body. While Shiny Alcremie still have an associated cream, there is no visual difference between the different creams among Shiny Alcremie (except in menu sprites, which are not affected by Shiny coloration).

Alcremie's cream is determined by how long, what direction, and what time the player spins and poses to evolve it from {{p|Milcery}}. There are nine different creams:

* Vanilla Cream: Spin clockwise quickly in the day

* Ruby Cream: Spin anti-clockwise quickly in the day

* Ruby Swirl: Spin anti-clockwise for over 5 seconds in the day

* Caramel Swirl: Spin clockwise for over 5 seconds in the day

* Mint Cream: Spin anti-clockwise for over 5 seconds at night

Alcremie's sweet is based on the [[Sweet]] Milcery held in order to evolve. Unlike cream, a difference in sweet is visible on Shiny Alcremie. There are seven different Sweets:

* [[Strawberry Sweet]]

* [[Berry Sweet]]

* [[Ribbon Sweet]]

Due to all of the different cream and sweet combinations, there are 63 different forms of Alcremie.

 

[[Gigantamax]] Alcremie can be obtained in all different flavors in [[Wild Area News]] [[Max Raid Battle]]s, but only with Strawberry Sweets. (Outside of Wild Area News, only Vanilla Cream Gigantamax Alcremie can be encountered in Max Raid Battles.) The [[Star Sweet|Star]] and [[Ribbon Sweet]]s are not currently obtainable, so neither are the corresponding Alcremie.

{{p|Eiscue}} has two forms that it changes between with its Ability, {{a|Ice Face}}. When hit by a [[physical move]], Eiscue changes from Ice Face form to Noice Face form, decreasing its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and increasing its {{stat|Speed}}. Eiscue can change back to Ice Face form when the weather changes to {{weather|hail}}.

{{p|Morpeko}} has two modes due to its {{a|Hunger Switch}} Ability: Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode. When in Full Belly Mode, its signature move, {{m|Aura Wheel}}, becomes Electric type; when in Hangry Mode, {{m|Aura Wheel}} becomes {{type|Dark}}. It will switch between modes every turn.

The [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} have two forms each that change their appearance, stats, and types. Their default forms are both called Hero of Many Battles, while in {{pkmn|battle}}, Zacian becomes Crowned Sword Zacian if holding its [[Rusted Sword]], while Zamazenta becomes Crowned Shield Zamazenta if holding its signature [[Rusted Shield]]. Similar to {{p|Xerneas}}, Zacian and Zamazenta will appear in their Hero of Many Battles form outside of battle even if they are holding their signature items, such as when the player is {{pkmn|Camp}}ing.

During the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player confronts a powered-up version of {{p|Eternatus}} known as Eternamax Eternatus, which is fought in a semi-scripted [[Max Raid Battle]] and uses [[Max Move]]s like a [[Dynamax]]ed Pokémon. This form has the highest base stats of any form of Pokémon to date and is currently unobtainable by the player. However, the form can be seen when Eternatus uses {{m|Eternabeam}}, although it does not affect Eternatus's base stats or any aspects of gameplay.
