Some Pokémon have official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing sprites or models in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]]. | Some Pokémon have official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form'').

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], but {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|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 {{p|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 {{game|Black and White|s}}, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. This option is automatically applied in {{game|Black 2 and White 2 | Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], but {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

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''). | 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.
