Some Pokémon have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. Some Pokémon with form differences can change between their forms (e.g. {{p|Castform}}), while others are fixed and cannot be changed (e.g. {{p|Unown}}).
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''[[form]]s''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. Some Pokémon with form differences can change between their forms (e.g. {{p|Castform}}), while others are fixed and cannot be changed (e.g. {{p|Unown}}). Other form differences include: '''[[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]''', '''[[regional form]]s''', '''[[Mega Evolution]]s''', and '''[[Gigantamax]]''' forms.


==Overview==
Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].
Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].


At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').
At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually named using the French word '''Forme''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'') instead.


Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], though {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, 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 Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate [[Unown Mode]] to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]. In [[Generation V]], the forms section returns and displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the forms section is only available after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], while in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it is available from the start. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the sprite shown in the Pokédex.

Additionally, there exist form-like transformations and technical forms that are not recognized by the Pokédex, but otherwise appear or behave like unique forms or are treated as such in game code.

===Regional forms===
==={{p|Pikachu}}===
{{main|Regional form}}
====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], regional forms (formerly called regional variants) were introduced. These are Pokémon that have adapted specifically for the environment of the [[region]] they reside in and thus differ in appearance, as well as possibly other attributes such as [[type]], [[move]]s, [[Ability]], or [[base stats]], from the same species of Pokémon as found in other regions. Four regions are known to have their own regional forms: Alolan Forms are found in [[Alola]], Galarian Forms are found in [[Galar]], Hisuian Forms are found in [[Hisui]], and Paldean Forms are found in [[Paldea]].

===Gender differences===

{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}
{{FormBox|image=0025Pikachu-Belle.png|size=100px|pokemon=Pikachu|form=Pikachu Belle|type=Electric}}
Though the majority of Pokémon have no visual distinction between their [[gender]]s, there are some that do. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]], with multiple Pokémon from earlier generations having been updated to have these differences in addition to new Pokémon having them. Most gender differences affect nothing beyond the Pokémon's appearance; however, there are a number of exceptions, with {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}} also differing in the [[move]]s they can learn and their [[Ability|Abilities]], and Indeedee, {{p|Basculegion}}, and Oinkologne differing in [[base stats]].

===Mega Evolutions===
{{FormBox|image=0025Pikachu-Libre.png|size=100px|pokemon=Pikachu|form=Pikachu Libre|type=Electric}}
{{main|Mega Evolution}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Mega Evolution was introduced, allowing certain Pokémon to achieve a more powerful form in battle. Mega Evolution may only be achieved if the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}} possesses a [[Key Stone]] and the Pokémon [[Held item|holds]] the [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to its species (with the sole exception of {{p|Rayquaza}}), and a Trainer can only Mega Evolve their Pokémon once per battle. In addition to altering the Pokémon's appearance, Mega Evolution changes its [[base stats]], and may also change its [[type]] and [[Ability]]. Mega Evolution has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].


===Gigantamax forms===
Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by changing its costume at a [[Contest Hall]].
{{main|Gigantamax}}
* Each costume can learn an exclusive move.
Gigantamax is a mechanic featured only in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. It is a special type of [[Dynamax]] that causes the Pokémon's appearance to change beyond simply an increase in size. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and even among Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, only those possessing a trait known as the Gigantamax Factor may Gigantamax. Gigantamaxing has many of the same effects as regular Dynamaxing; however, when a Pokémon Gigantamaxes, its attacking moves of a certain [[type]] are replaced with that Pokémon's exclusive [[G-Max Move]], rather than regular [[Max Move]]s.
* Exclusive to {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.


===Pikachu===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Pikachu|Pikachu → Form data}}'''.
====Cosplay Pikachu====
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pikachu}} who has a black heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail. It only appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], in which it is obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. It is able to be dressed up into different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[Contest condition|conditions]] ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn a [[move]] associated with that condition that it otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.


Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], and does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]] despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
For more details, see '''{{fd|Pikachu|Pikachu → Form data}}'''.
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot [[evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry]] differs from that of regular Pikachu.


Six variants exist in Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the anime's [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. A seventh variant debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

The original six Pikachu in caps were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in caps (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the anime's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]], {{OBP|Jack|Galar}}.
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] cannot change forms.
* [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of regular Pichu.
* Exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

{{anchor|Paldean Tauros}}
{{anchor|Paldean Tauros}}
{{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed. Visually, each breed has different horns, manes, and tails. The breeds have different [[type]]s, with Combat Breed being {{type|Fighting}}, Blaze Breed being {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}-type, and Aqua Breed being {{2t|Fighting|Water}}-type. They also learn different [[move]]s, and the type of Tauros's [[signature move]] {{m|Raging Bull}} changes based on the user's form, being Fighting-type for Combat Breed, Fire-type for Blaze Breed, and Water-type for Aqua Breed.

===Pichu===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Tauros|Tauros → Form data}}'''.
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pichu}} that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It only appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Spiky-eared Pichu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.


The {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} is a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed in [[Event Pokémon|event]]s in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; if it is [[trade]]d to Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player (this will still happen even if the Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves before or after being traded). This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

===Unown===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Unown|Unown → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each of them corresponding to a typographical character. All Unown forms are known as "One form" (Japanese: あるすがた ''a form''), as seen in the Pokédex from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] onwards, as well as in [[Pokémon HOME]].


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 26 letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

{{FormBox|image=HOME0351H.png|size=100px|pokemon=Castform|form=Snowy Form|type=Ice}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], 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 has caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the Ruins of Alph.
Castform can change forms based on the [[weather]] in [[battle]]s due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}.


In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shininess 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, Unown's letter is determined by a [[Pokémon data structure (Generation IV)#Alternate forms|separate form identifier]], unrelated to the personality value.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Castform|Castform → Form data}}'''.


Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

===Castform===
Groudon can temporarily undergo Primal Reversion if it is holding a [[Red Orb]] in battle.
{{p|Castform}} has four different interchangeable forms, which it switches between based on the [[weather]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}. Each of its forms has a different [[type]] to match the weather. Castform was the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms.
* Has different base stats, Ability, cry, and type from regular Groudon.


By default, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It is always in this form outside of battle, and it begins battles in this form. It remains in this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, or if the weather has its effects negated by an active Ability.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Kyogre|Kyogre → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Groudon|Groudon → Form data}}'''.


In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform into its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform into its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform into its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.
==={{p|Deoxys}}===

{{FormBox|image=0386Deoxys-Speed.png|size=100px|pokemon=Deoxys|form=Speed Forme|type=Psychic}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). From [[Generation V]] onward, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).
Deoxys can change forms by interacting with certain meteorites.
* Have different [[base stats]] and level-up movesets from regular Deoxys.


Prior to [[Generation VIII]], {{Shiny}} Castform only appeared Shiny in its normal form.

===Kyogre and Groudon===
Burmy can change forms depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle.
{{anchor|Kyogre}}
{{anchor|Groudon}}
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} gained new forms, which they achieve through a phenomenon called [[Primal Reversion]]. When sent out in battle, Kyogre will change into Primal Kyogre if holding a [[Blue Orb]], while Groudon will change into Primal Groudon if holding a [[Red Orb]]. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], these changes happen automatically once they become active in battle, and the player is not prompted for them. They revert back to their regular forms after the battle ends. These forms returned in [[Generation VII]], but have been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]], like Mega Evolution.


The forms differ in [[base stats]], [[Ability]], [[cry]], and, in Groudon's case, [[type]].
Wormadam cannot change forms.
* Have different [[base stats]] and level-up movesets from regular Wormadam.

===Deoxys===
==={{p|Cherrim}}===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and the [[move]]s it could learn differed depending on its form.

In [[Generation III]], 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 always be in Normal Forme in the {{pkmn2|wild}}). Its form can only be changed by [[Trade|trading]] it to a different game.
Cherrim can change forms depending on the weather in battle.
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.


From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player can switch between its forms by interacting with certain meteorites while it is in the [[party]]:
For more details, see '''{{fd|Cherrim|Cherrim → Form data}}'''.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], using the meteorite in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*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]].
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], using the meteorite next to [[Sophocles]] in the [[Hokulani Observatory]] on [[Mount Hokulani]].


Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes. In this form, it has very high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, but low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, alongside a low {{stat|HP}} stat (which remains the same in all of its forms).

Deoxys's Attack Forme has even higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (having the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} and second highest {{stat|Attack}} of any non-Mega Evolved, non-Primal Pokémon) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Forme. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.
Shellos and Gastrodon cannot change forms.


Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are much lower than its Normal Forme.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Shellos|Shellos → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Gastrodon|Gastrodon → Form data}}'''.


Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the second-highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves. Additionally, its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are higher than its Normal Forme, while its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are lower than its Normal Forme.

{{FormBox|image=0483Dialga.png|size=100px|pokemon=Dialga|form|type=Steel|type2=Dragon}}
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|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.
{{FormBox|image=0483Dialga-Origin.png|size=100px|pokemon=Dialga|form=Origin Forme|type=Steel|type2=Dragon}}

{{FormGroupFooter}}


Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, [[stat]]s, 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 {{p|Ditto}}, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a Ditto.
Dialga can change forms by being given an [[Adamant Crystal]].
* Has different [[base stats]] from regular Dialga.


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 {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.
Palkia can change forms by being given a [[Lustrous Globe]].
* Has different [[base stats]] from regular Palkia.


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 {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.
Giratina can change forms by being given a [[Griseous Core]].
* Has different [[base stats]] and [[Ability]] from Altered Forme Giratina.


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 {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

===Cherrim===
==={{p|Arceus}}===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]] in battle. During [[harsh sunlight]] (and without an active [[Ability]] nullifying the weather), it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} increase in its Sunshine Form. Outside of battle, it is always in Overcast Form.

In [[Generation IV]], Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in [[Generation V]], it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form, except in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], in which Cherrim's form and stats change without Flower Gift due to the game's lack of Abilities.
Arceus can change forms by being given a [[Plate]].


In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Arceus|Arceus → Form data}}'''.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
Basculin cannot change forms.
{{anchor|Shellos}}
{{anchor|Gastrodon}}
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} each have two different forms: West Sea and East Sea. In most cases, where they are encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines their form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.


West Sea Shellos is pink and white in color, with West Sea Gastrodon being pink and brown, whereas East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are both blue and green in color. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=0902Basculegion-Male.png|size=100px|pokemon=Basculegion|form=Male|type=Water|type2=Ghost}}
{{FormBox|image=0902Basculegion-Female.png|size=100px|pokemon=Basculegion|form=Female|type=Water|type2=Ghost}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mount Coronet. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]]; in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire; and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon appear in the wild.
Male and female Basculegion are two distinct, non-interchangeable forms.


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

[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|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 {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
*When Rotom has not possessed an appliance (or, in [[Generation VIII]], is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.


In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|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 stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's regular form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Darmanitan|Darmanitan → Form data}}'''.


*In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.

*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]], the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. It can be obtained in [[Wyndon]] in Sword and Shield and can be purchased from an auction in [[Porto Marinada]] if the player owns a Rotom in Scarlet and Violet.
{{FormBox|image=0586Sawsbuck.png|size=100px|pokemon=Sawsbuck|form=Spring Form|type=Normal|type2=Grass}}
*In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the player's [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|quarters]].
{{FormBox|image=0586Sawsbuck-Summer.png|size=100px|pokemon=Sawsbuck|form=Summer Form|type=Normal|type2=Grass}}
Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its normal form (with the exception of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, in which the Rotom Catalog is used instead, obtained in Rotom's Room after Rotom enters one of the appliances). 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 [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in their normal form.
Deerling and Sawsbuck can change forms in [[Generation V]] based on the current {{season}} and in [[Generation IX]] based on the location the game is loaded in. They cannot change forms in [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] through [[Generation VIII|VIII]].


Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. 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|Generations IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. Starting in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Deerling|Deerling → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Sawsbuck|Sawsbuck → Form data}}'''.


Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|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.

There are more forms that Rotom assumes when possessing other appliances such as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], and {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}. These forms do not have battle abilities and are not obtainable as actual Pokémon, instead functioning as [[non-player character]]s. These Rotom enhance the functions of the devices they inhabit and usually have the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak]]. The Rotom Pokédex appears in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the Rotom Phone appears in Sword, Shield, Scarlet, and Violet, and the Rotomi and Drone Rotom appear in Sword and Shield.
Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, and Enamorus can change forms by being exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]].

{{anchor|Giratina}}
{{FormBox|image=0646Kyurem-White.png|size=100px|pokemon=Kyurem|form=White Kyurem|type=Dragon|type2=Ice}}
The [[creation trio]] have the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. Giratina is unique, as its standard form is called Altered Forme.
{{FormBox|image=0646Kyurem-Black.png|size=100px|pokemon=Kyurem|form=Black Kyurem|type=Dragon|type2=Ice}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


The base forms of Dialga and Palkia, and Giratina's Altered Forme, first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. {{p|Giratina}}'s Origin Forme was first introduced in {{game|Platinum}} while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s Origin Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can switch between their two forms by being exposed to the [[Adamant Crystal]], [[Lustrous Globe]], and [[Griseous Orb]]/[[Griseous Core]] respectively. If any of the three is deposited in [[Pokémon HOME]] in Origin Forme, it will revert to its base form.
Kyurem can change forms through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}.


The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}}, Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (in all cases, the base stat totals are unchanged). In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s signature moves have modified base power and accuracy when used by their Origin Formes as well as unique animations.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Kyurem|Kyurem → Form data}}'''.


In the [[Pokémon world]], Giratina is in its Altered Forme, while in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a Griseous Orb, it is in its Origin Forme.

===Shaymin===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Keldeo|Keldeo → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.


Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.

{{FormGroupFooter}}


Sky Forme Shaymin will revert back into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]] (but not [[Pokémon HOME]]), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert back into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night.
Meloetta can change forms in battle by using the move {{m|Relic Song}}.


The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].

===Arceus===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Genesect|Genesect → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Arceus}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its Ability {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole.


By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.
==={{p|Greninja}}===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=0658Greninja.png|size=100px|pokemon=Greninja|form=Battle Bond Greninja|type=Water|type2=Dark}}
{{FormBox|image=0658Greninja-Ash.png|size=100px|pokemon=Greninja|form=Ash-Greninja|type=Water|type2=Dark}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In games prior to Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target (prioritizing any double weaknesses the target may have); this also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. It reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]] while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into Pokémon HOME, these effects wear off.
In [[Generation VII]], Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle.  


In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Greninja|Greninja → Form data}}'''.


In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in rippling water.
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Good Rod]] while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Super Rod]]. This order is reversed in Pokémon Y, with Red-Striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and Blue-Striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod. {{rt|21|Kalos}} is the exception, where only Red-Striped Basculin can be caught with either rod.
*In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Red-Striped Basculin are found [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusively]] in Ultra Sun, while Blue-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Ultra Moon.

The three forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with {{a|Reckless}} being exclusive to Red-Striped Basculin, {{a|Rock Head}} being exclusive to Blue-Striped Basculin, and {{a|Rattled}} being exclusive to White-Striped Basculin, though all three forms share {{a|Adaptability}} as a possible Ability and {{a|Mold Breaker}} as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}. Additionally, wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]], while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Scale]]. White-Striped Basculin differ from the other two forms in the [[move]]s they can learn, and are also the only one of the forms that can evolve into {{p|Basculegion}}.
Eternal Flower Floette is unobtainable in-game.


White-Striped Basculin is considered to be a {{rf|Hisuian|Form}} in [[Pokémon HOME]], though it is unique in that its name does not use the "Hisuian" prefix.
For more details, see: '''{{fd|Flabébé|Flabébé → Form data}}''', '''{{fd|Floette|Floette → Form data}}''', and '''{{fd|Florges|Florges → Form data}}'''.


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 were changed to {{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 [[transfer]]red from [[Generation V]] to [[Pokémon Bank]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
==={{p|Meowstic}}===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its {{stat|HP}} drops to or below half in {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is in Zen Mode in battle only.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=0678Meowstic-Male.png|size=100px|pokemon=Meowstic|form=Male|type=Psychic}}
{{FormBox|image=0678Meowstic-Female.png|size=100px|pokemon=Meowstic|form=Female|type=Psychic}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.
Male and female Meowstic are two distinct, non-interchangeable forms.


The original 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. On the other hand, Galarian Darmanitan, in its Zen Mode, simply has increased Attack and Speed compared to its Standard Mode.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
Aegislash can change forms in battle due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Stance Change}}.
{{anchor|Deerling}}
{{anchor|Sawsbuck}}
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different forms, each corresponding to a {{OBP|season|mechanic}}. These forms are interchangeable in [[Generation V]] but not in other games. These forms are purely cosmetic.


In the [[Generation V]] games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will change their form to match the current season if they are in the [[party]] when the player exits a [[cave]] or building, receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] Man, or loads a [[save]]d game. All {{pkmn2|wild}}, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of those owned by NPC Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], which are always in Spring Form.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Aegislash|Aegislash → Form data}}'''.


Starting in [[Generation VI]], with the abandonment of seasons as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck are no longer able to change their form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck are in Spring Form, while bred Deerling are in the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}. The Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms are only obtainable via [[transfer]] from a [[Generation V]] game or from [[Pokémon GO]]. In {{2v|Scarlet|Violet}}, Deerling and Sawsbuck's ability to change forms returns, and is done in the same method as in {{4v|Black|White}}, however the form they will become is now based on on the location that the game was loaded in.

===Forces of Nature===
Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist cannot change forms.
{{anchor|Tornadus}}
{{anchor|Thundurus}}
{{anchor|Landorus}}
{{anchor|Enamorus}}
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.


By default, they are in their Incarnate Formes. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], they change into Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, they revert back to Incarnate Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, except for in the case of Enamorus, which had both of its forms introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
For more details, see '''{{fd|Pumpkaboo|Pumpkaboo → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Gourgeist|Gourgeist → Form data}}'''.


The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Each Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite the Incarnate Formes having different Hidden Abilities.
==={{p|Xerneas}}===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=HOME0716N.png|size=100px|pokemon=Xerneas|form=Neutral Mode|type=Fairy}}
{{FormBox|image=HOME0716.png|size=100px|pokemon=Xerneas|form=Active Mode|type=Fairy}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In the [[Generation V]] games, these Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Formes from being traded to {{g|Black and White}}, where they don't exist.
Xerneas will change forms during {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s.

===Kyurem===
==={{p|Zygarde}}===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, which they were introduced in.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=3}}
{{FormBox|image=0718Zygarde-10Percent.png|size=105px|pokemon=Zygarde|form=10% Forme|type=Dragon|type2=Ground}}

{{FormBox|image=0718Zygarde-Complete.png|size=105px|pokemon=Zygarde|form=Complete Forme|type=Dragon|type2=Ground}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its [[level]], [[Poké Ball]], [[held item]], [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[nickname]], [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number, secret ID number]], met location, [[Pokérus]], and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, 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 Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]], nor can they be [[trade]]d or [[release]]d without having the fusion undone first.
Zygarde cannot change forms. Zygarde can be broken down and re-assembled into a different form by using the [[Zygarde Cube]].
* Internally, the 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability {{a|Aura Break}} are each treated as separate forms from the 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability {{a|Power Construct}}.


White Kyurem has the [[Ability]] {{a|Turboblaze}} and learns the [[move]]s {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} by leveling up, and its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}} and learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Zygarde|Zygarde → Form data}}'''.


When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's moveset will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace {{m|Scary Face}} with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace {{m|Glaciate}} with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. In [[Generation VIII]], it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by [[TM]] after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the moveset, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.

===Keldeo===
==={{p|Oricorio}}===

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2, or in any game in [[Generation VI]] or later, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form when [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red to later games, though in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], an Ordinary Form Keldeo that knows Secret Sword will change to Resolute Form if it is in the [[party]] at the end of a {{pkmn|battle}}, or upon learning or forgetting any [[move]] other than Secret Sword.
Oricorio can change forms by sipping [[Nectar]].

===Greninja===
Silvally can change forms by being given a [[Memory]].
{{redirect|Ash-Greninja|the Greninja that belonged to [[Ash Ketchum]]|Ash's Greninja}}
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].


In the games, a {{p|Greninja}} with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}; additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful and always hit 3 times.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Silvally|Silvally → Form data}}'''.


Internally, normal Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, meaning it will become unobtainable for players who do not have the demo downloaded after the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop in March 2023.

{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different patterns that it can have on its wings. In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on which it was generated (for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents). This form cannot be changed. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon they will evolve into already set. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is determined from the system's set geographic location when the save file is created and cannot be changed later unless the game is reset.

In [[Generation VI]], 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 {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}. In [[Generation VII]], all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability, though the Blue Flower forms cannot be caught with it and must be [[transfer]]red with it from a prior game in order to have it.
Magearna cannot change forms.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=3}}
In the storyline of {{g|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended 3,000 years ago. The flower it wields has a different design than normal, resembling the structure of the ancient [[ultimate weapon]] constructed by AZ; the form also has a blue, red, and white color scheme instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. The [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games include unused data for this Floette as a usable form known as Eternal Flower Floette, but it is unobtainable. Unlike the other forms, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the {{Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the otherwise unused move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50, being the [[Signature move|only Pokémon able to do so]]. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette.

{{endspoilers}}
Cramorant has three forms. It is always in its standard form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, while its other two forms are activated in battle by its [[Ability]], {{a|Gulp Missile}}.
{{right clear}}


===Furfrou===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Cramorant|Cramorant → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of nine different trims. It can only remain with one of these trims for five days after being groomed. Furfrou will also lose its trim when it is deposited in a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] (in [[Generation VI]]), withdrawn from a Box (in [[Generation VII]]), deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. It is in its Natural Form by default, and will revert to this form if it loses its trim. However, it is possible to deposit trimmed Furfrou in [[Pokémon HOME]] by [[GO Transporter|transferring]] them from [[Pokémon GO]].


The location at which Furfrou can be groomed differs between games:
==={{p|Toxtricity}}===
*In {{g|X and Y}}, Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] for {{PDollar}}500. The player gains access to more trims as they become more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=3}}
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Furfrou can be groomed at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]] for {{PDollar}}500.
{{FormBox|image=0849Toxtricity-Amped.png|size=100px|pokemon=Toxtricity|form=Amped Form|type=Electric|type2=Poison}}
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Furfrou can be groomed for {{PDollar}}500 by a {{tc|Punk Girl}} at [[Malie City]]'s salon or a {{tc|Beauty}} at [[Hau'oli City]]'s salon{{sup/7|USUM}}.

{{FormBox|image=0849Toxtricity-Gigantamax.png|size=100px|pokemon=Toxtricity|form=Gigantamax Toxtricity|type=Electric|type2=Poison}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


In Pokémon X and Y only, Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].
Toxtricity has two non-interchangeable forms. The two forms share a [[Gigantamax]] form.

{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in battle depending on the move it uses. Initially in Shield Forme, using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, while using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme. Outside of battle, it is always in its Shield Forme.

Different sizes have different [[base stats]]. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 5 points while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base {{stat|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.
Alcremie's form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of [[Sweet]]. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-[[Gigantamax]] forms of Alcremie, not including its {{Shiny}} coloration.


[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same size as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|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 [[Cry|cries]] than the other forms, and are also the only Pokémon to have the XXL size designation in [[Pokémon GO]].
All Alcremie forms have access to the same Gigantamax form.


Previously, only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist could have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Alcremie|Alcremie → Form data}}'''.


The different sizes of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites, except in [[Pokémon HOME]].

For more details, see '''{{fd|Eiscue|Eiscue → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s, and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and [[summary]] screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. 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 and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.

===Zygarde===
For more details, see '''{{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Indeedee|List of Pokémon with gender differences → Indeedee}}'''.
{{p|Zygarde}} has three different Formes, as well as two distinct constituent parts. The 50% Forme debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The other two Formes and both constituent parts debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the ''{{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and made their [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].


A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the [[Alola]] region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.
==={{p|Morpeko}}===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}

{{FormBox|image=0877Morpeko-Hangry.png|size=100px|pokemon=Morpeko|form=Hangry Mode|type=Electric|type2=Dark}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


A Zygarde Core is a "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other Cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened.
Morpeko switches between its forms with its [[Ability]] {{a|Hunger Switch}}.


Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60&nbsp;mph (100&nbsp;km/h). It can change into Complete Forme with its [[Ability]] {{a|Power Construct}}.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Morpeko|Morpeko → Form data}}'''.


Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability Power Construct.
==={{anchor|Zacian|{{p|Zacian}}}} and {{anchor|Zamazenta|{{p|Zamazenta}}}}===

{{FormGroupFooter}}


A Zygarde with the Power Construct Ability will change into Complete Forme when its HP falls below half in a {{pkmn|battle}}.
Zacian can change forms by being exposed to the [[Rusted Sword]].


Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and it believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.
Zamazenta can change forms by being exposed to the [[Rusted Shield]].


In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the Aether Base on {{rt|16|Alola}} on [[Ula'ula Island]] contains a Reassembly Unit, which can be used to create Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde 50% Forme from Zygarde Cells and Cores in the player's [[Zygarde Cube]], or disassemble Zygarde with Aura Break back into Cells and Cores (Zygarde with Power Construct cannot be separated).
For more details, see '''{{fd|Zacian|Zacian → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Zamazenta|Zamazenta → Form data}}'''.


The player can create any number of Zygarde using the Reassembly Unit as long they have enough Cores and Cells. A Zygarde 10% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 10 Cells and Cores, a Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 50 Cells and Cores, and a Zygarde 50% Forme with Power Construct can be assembled with 100 Cells and Cores. The Zygarde Cube can be used to change a Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme; Zygarde with Aura Break cannot change forms.
==={{p|Eternatus}}===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=HOME0890.png|size=100px|pokemon=Eternatus|form|type=Poison|type2=Dragon}}
{{FormBox|image=HOME0890E.png|size=100px|pokemon=Eternatus|form=Eternamax|type=Poison|type2=Dragon}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


While only 100 Cells and Cores are normally available in one save file, the player can obtain more by separating Zygarde with Aura Break from other save files. A Zygarde separated into Cells will be lost forever.
During the climax of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player confronts a powered-up version of 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 is unobtainable, but briefly appears in the move animation for {{m|Eternabeam}}.


In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can collect Zygarde Cells and Cores in the overworld throughout the Alola region after obtaining the Zygarde Cube. There are a total of 5 Cores and 95 Cells throughout the region.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Eternatus|Eternatus → Form data}}'''.


In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can catch a wild Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Resolution Cave]] on [[Poni Island]]; after the player catches this Zygarde, [[Dexio]] will battle the player on {{rt|16|Alola}}, and upon being defeated, he will give the player the Zygarde Cube (containing 40 Zygarde Cells) and Zygarde 10% Forme.

{{FormBox|image=0893Zarude-Dada.png|size=100px|pokemon=Zarude|form=Dada|type=Dark|type2=Grass}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


By default, Hoopa Confined is the form taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a Prison Bottle, Hoopa Confined transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
Zarude cannot change forms.


Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle; Hoopa also changes back to Hoopa Confined when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]].
For more details, see '''{{fd|Zarude|Zarude → Form data}}'''.


The two forms have different [[base stats]], [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]]. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} is usable only by Hoopa Unbound (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Hoopa Unbound with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}), and will fail if Hoopa Confined (or any other Pokémon) attempts to use it.

Oricorio can change between its forms by sipping [[Nectar]], with [[Red Nectar]] changing it to Baile Style, [[Yellow Nectar]] changing it to Pom-Pom Style, [[Pink Nectar]] changing it to Pa'u Style, and [[Purple Nectar]] changing it to Sensu Style. 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. The forms also have different [[cry|cries]].

===Lycanroc===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Ursaluna|Ursaluna → Form data}}'''.
{{anchor|Rockruff}}
{{Incomplete|needs=Gen IX mechanics}}
{{p|Lycanroc}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Midday Form, Midnight Form, and Dusk Form. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}, {{p|Rockruff}} will only [[Evolution|evolve]] into Midday Form Lycanroc and can only do so in the [[Time|day]], while in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}, Rockruff will only evolve into Midnight Form Lycanroc and can only do so at [[Time|night]] (though both Midday Form and Midnight Form can be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in all versions). In [[Generation VIII]] onward, Rockruff's evolution depends solely on the time of day rather than what game it is in, with it evolving into Midday Form in the day and Midnight Form at night.


Dusk Form debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]; only special Rockruff with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}} can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc (and are unable to evolve into the other two forms), and this evolution can only happen from 5:00 PM to 5:59 PM in [[Generation VII]] or from 7:00 PM to 7:59 PM in [[Generation VIII]]. Internally, the games consider Rockruff with Own Tempo to be a separate form than Rockruff with {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, or {{a|Steadfast}}, and Rockruff with Own Tempo and Dusk Form Lycanroc can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] to produce more Rockruff with Own Tempo. After initially being {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, Own Tempo Rockruff and Dusk Form Lycanroc were later made available through normal means in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

===Wishiwashi===
Maushold cannot change forms.
{{p|Wishiwashi}} has two interchangeable forms: Solo Form and School Form. It can change between them using its {{a|Schooling}} [[Ability]] if it is at least [[level]] 20. Its two forms have different [[base stats]], with School Form having significantly higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}}, but lower {{stat|Speed}} and identical {{stat|HP}}. The two forms also have different [[Cry|cries]]. Outside of battle, Wishiwashi is always in Solo Form.


Wishiwashi starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in its Solo Form. If it is at least level 20 and has above 25% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining when it enters battle, it will change into its School Form. If its remaining HP is at or below 25% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, it will revert back to Solo Form; however, if it subsequently has above 25% of its maximum HP remaining at the end of a turn, it will change back into School Form. If it is switched out while in School Form, it will revert to its Solo Form.

===Silvally===
Squawkabilly cannot change forms.
{{p|Silvally}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type.
* Green and Blue Plumage have different [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]] from Yellow and White Plumage.


By default, Silvally is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s a [[memory]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the memory corresponds to.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Squawkabilly|Squawkabilly → Form data}}'''.


In [[Generation VII]], Silvally can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form; however, in [[Generation VIII]], it can learn Draco Meteor regardless of its form.

===Minior===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Palafin|Palafin → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Minior}} has two forms: Meteor Form and Core Form, and changes between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Shields Down}}. It is always in Core Form outside of battle. In {{pkmn|battle}}s, it starts in Meteor Form, but if its {{stat|HP}} is at or below 50% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, its shell breaks and it changes into Core Form. It changes back into Meteor Form at the end of a turn if its HP is above 50% of its maximum HP.


Meteor Form and Core Form have different stats:
==={{p|Tatsugiri}}===
*Meteor Form Minior has lower attacking stats and {{stat|Speed}}, but higher defenses.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=3}}
*Core Form Minior has higher attacking stats and Speed, but lower defenses.

Due to its Ability Shields Down, Meteor Form Minior cannot be afflicted by [[status condition]]s or become drowsy due to {{m|Yawn}}.
Tatsugiri cannot change forms.
* Has different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies.
* Stat boost that {{p|Dondozo}} receives from Tatsugiri changes depending on its form.

Minior's Core Form can be one of seven different colors, each corresponding to one of the colors of a {{wp|rainbow}}. These forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Minior will always have the same color as their parent.

===Mimikyu===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Dudunsparce|Dudunsparce → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Mimikyu}} has two interchangeable forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form. It is always in Disguised Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}s.


Mimikyu starts battles in its Disguised Form. When it is hit by a damaging [[move]], its [[Ability]] {{a|Disguise}} reduces the damage it takes from it: in [[Generation VII]], it takes no damage from it at all, and in [[Generation VIII]] onward, it nullifies the attack's damage but then loses 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. Afterwards, its disguise slumps to the side and it changes into Busted Form. While in Busted Form, it can be damaged normally. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it [[fainted|faint]]s or the battle ends.

===Necrozma===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Gimmighoul|Gimmighoul → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Necrozma}} has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. All three of these forms were introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].


Dusk Mane Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Solgaleo}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Solarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, and can hold [[Solganium Z]] to access Solgaleo's exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Necrozma and Solgaleo's cries.

{{FormGroupFooter}}


Dawn Wings Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Lunala}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Lunarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, and can hold [[Lunalium Z]] to access Lunala's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Lunala's cries.
Poltchageist and Sinistcha cannot change forms.  


If Necrozma separates from Solgaleo or Lunala while it knows the borrowed move (Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam), that move will be forgotten. If the borrowed move was its only [[move]], Necrozma will learn {{m|Confusion}}.
For more details, see '''{{fd|Poltchageist|Poltchageist → Form data}}''' and '''{{fd|Sinistcha|Sinistcha → Form data}}'''.


Due to the mechanics of the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, each player can have a maximum of one Dusk Mane Necrozma and one Dawn Wings Necrozma at a time per game (though having both at the same time requires [[Trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]ring for a second Necrozma). If it is fused with Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma cannot be traded, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]].

{{FormGroupFooter}}


Ultra Necrozma is a third form Necrozma can attain if it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form while holding its exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Ultranecrozium Z]], at which point the player can use the [[Ultra Burst]] command from the move menu to transform it into Ultra Necrozma. Once transformed, Ultra Necrozma can also use the Ultranecrozium Z on a subsequent turn to upgrade {{m|Photon Geyser}} into its exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}. Ultra Necrozma will revert to its previous form when it [[Fainting|faints]] or when the battle ends. Ultra Burst can only be used once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma or revives a fainted Necrozma. Ultra Necrozma has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].
Ogerpon can change forms by being given either the [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], or [[Cornerstone Mask]]. Each form has their own unique [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]] that Ogerpon transforms into upon {{Tera}}stallization.

===Magearna===
==={{p|Terapagos}}===
{{p|Magearna}} has an alternate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: the Original Color form is red and gold. Prior to the launch of [[Pokémon HOME]], Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. Since Pokémon HOME's release in February 2020, if a player completes the [[National Pokédex]] (up to {{p|Eternatus}}, including [[Mythical Pokémon]]), they will receive a [[Mystery Gift]] containing an Original Color Magearna.

===Cramorant===
For more details, see '''{{fd|Terapagos|Terapagos → Form data}}'''.
{{p|Cramorant}} has three forms. It is always in its standard form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, while its other two forms are activated in battle by its [[Ability]], {{a|Gulp Missile}}.


Cramorant starts battle in its standard form. If it uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}} in this form while it has over 50% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining, it will change into Gulping Form, which has an {{p|Arrokuda}} caught in its beak. If Gulping Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging [[move]], then Cramorant will spit the Arrokuda out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, lowers their {{stat|Defense}} by one stage, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.
==Form-like transformations==
 
Several Pokémon have named transformations that are otherwise not recognized by the [[Pokédex]] as distinct forms.
If Cramorant uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}} in its standard form while it is at or below 50% of its maximum HP, it will change into Gorging Form, which has a {{p|Pikachu}} caught in its beak. If Gorging Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging move, then Cramorant will spit the Pikachu out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, {{status|Paralyzed|paralyzes}} them, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.

===Toxtricity===
{{p|Toxtricity}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form. When {{p|Toxel}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s):
*Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
*Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.
 
Both forms of Toxtricity have the same [[base stats]], but learn slightly different [[move]]s, and have different possible {{Abilities}}. Both forms have access to the same [[Gigantamax]] form.

===Sinistea and Polteageist===
{{anchor|Sinistea}}
{{anchor|Polteageist}}
{{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Polteageist}} each have two non-interchangeable forms: Phony Form and Antique Form<ref name="guide">[[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Strategy Guide]]</ref>. The Antique Form is rarer and has a stamp of authenticity hidden on the underside of its base. The only functional difference between the two forms is the [[Evolution item]] used by Sinistea to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Polteageist: Phony Form Sinistea require a [[Cracked Pot]], while Antique Form Sinistea require a [[Chipped Pot]]. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Sinistea will always be in Phony Form.
 
In Japanese, the names of Sinistea and Polteageist's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Alcremie===
{{p|Alcremie}}'s form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of [[Sweet]]. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-[[Gigantamax]] forms of Alcremie, not including its {{Shiny}} coloration. Each of Alcremie's creams have different menu sprites and Pokédex entries, while Sweets only affect the appearance of Alcremie's 3D model; all of Alcremie's menu sprites show it with a [[Strawberry Sweet]], regardless of its actual Sweet. Alcremie's forms are purely aesthetic.
 
Alcremie's form is non-interchangeable and is decided when it evolves from {{p|Milcery}}. Milcery evolves into Alcremie while holding a [[Sweet]] when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose while it is in the [[party]]. The type of Sweet on Alcremie is dependent on which Sweet it was holding, while the cream color varies depending on the [[Time|time of day]], the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.
 
All Alcremie forms have access to the same Gigantamax form. Normally, the only Gigantamax Alcremie that can be encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s have Vanilla Cream and the Strawberry Sweet. However, all types of cream appeared as Gigantamax Alcremie in limited-time [[Wild Area News]], but only with the Strawberry Sweet. Additionally, Milcery with the Gigantamax Factor were also available in limited-time Wild Area News, enabling players to obtain a Gigantamax Alcremie with any Sweet and cream combination. [[Max Soup]] can also be used to give any Alcremie the Gigantamax Factor.
 
Shiny Alcremie always has the same color, regardless of its actual cream type (which is still visible in its menu sprite).

===Eiscue===
{{p|Eiscue}} has two interchangeable forms: Ice Face and Noice Face. It switches between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Ice Face}}. It is always in its Ice Face form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.
 
Eiscue starts battles in Ice Face form. When it is hit by a [[physical move]], it does not take damage and instead transforms into Noice Face form. In this form, it has decreased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and it can be damaged by normal means. When in Noice Face form, Eiscue will change back to Ice Face form if {{weather|hail}} begins while it is on the field, or if it is sent out into battle while it is hailing.

===Morpeko===
{{p|Morpeko}} has two forms that it switches between with its {{a|Hunger Switch}} [[Ability]]: Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Aura Wheel}} is {{type|Electric}} when it is in Full Belly Mode and {{type|Dark}} when it is in Hangry Mode. It starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Full Belly Mode and switches between forms at the end of every turn while it is sent out. It is always in Full Belly Mode outside of battle.

===Zacian and Zamazenta===
{{anchor|Zacian}}
{{anchor|Zamazenta}}
The [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} each have two forms that change their appearance, [[stat]]s, [[type]]s, and [[Cry|cries]]. Their default forms are both called Hero of Many Battles; they are always in this form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. In battle, Zacian will be in its Crowned Sword form if it is holding a [[Rusted Sword]], while Zamazenta will be in its Crowned Shield form if it is holding a [[Rusted Shield]]. In these forms, they both gain {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type; additionally, Zacian has increased {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}, while Zamazenta has increased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but decreased Speed.
 
If Zacian knows {{m|Iron Head}}, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Blade}} while it is in its Crowned Sword form; if Zamazenta knows Iron Head, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Bash}} while it is in its Crowned Shield form.

===Eternatus===
==={{p|Rotom}}===
During the climax of [[Pokémon 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 is unobtainable, but briefly appears in the move animation for {{m|Eternabeam}}. Its [[cry]] and [[base stats]] are different to those of its regular form (with it having the highest base stats of any Pokémon to date). If a Pokémon targets Eternamax Eternatus with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}, it will instead transform into Eternatus's regular form.

===Urshifu===
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=5}}
{{p|Urshifu}} has two non-interchangeable forms. When {{p|Kubfu}} [[Evolution|evolve]]s, the form of Urshifu it evolves into is dependent on which of the [[Towers of Two Fists]] it evolved at. Urshifu's Single Strike Style is {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} and is obtained by evolving Kubfu at the [[Tower of Darkness]], whereas its Rapid Strike Style is {{2t|Fighting|Water}} and is obtained by evolving Kubfu at the [[Tower of Waters]]. Both forms have the same [[base stat]]s, but different learnsets, types, and [[Gigantamax]] forms.

===Zarude===

{{p|Zarude}} has an alternate form called Dada Zarude. It wears a pink, ripped cape bearing {{p|Celebi}}'s [[National Pokédex]] number, and it was reported to have left its pack to raise {{OBP|Koko|M23|a human child}}, as seen in the 23rd movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. Zarude's forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable.

Reshiram, Zekrom, White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their [[signature move]]s ({{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}} for Reshiram, {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Bolt Strike}} for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

===Calyrex===
For more details, see '''{{ps|Reshiram|Biology|Reshiram → Biology}}''', '''{{ps|Zekrom|Biology|Zekrom → Biology}}''', and '''{{ps|Kyurem|Biology|Kyurem → Biology}}'''.
{{p|Calyrex}} has two alternate forms, Ice Rider and Shadow Rider, which were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. The [[Reins of Unity]] can be used to combine Calyrex with either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}}, with the former resulting in its Ice Rider form and the latter its Shadow Rider form; the same item can also be used to undo the fusion and revert Calyrex to its standard form. Each fused form has its own [[Ability]] that combines Calyrex's base {{a|Unnerve}} Ability with either Glastrier's {{a|Chilling Neigh}} or Spectrier's {{a|Grim Neigh}}, but in both cases, the combined Ability is called {{a|As One}}.


*Ice Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Glastrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ice}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Glacial Lance}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of regular Calyrex and Glastrier's cries.
==={{anchor|Solgaleo|{{p|Solgaleo}}}} and {{anchor|Lunala|{{p|Lunala}}}}===
*Shadow Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Spectrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Astral Barrage}}. Its cry is a combination of regular Calyrex and Spectrier's cries.
{{FormGroupHeader|cols=2}}
{{FormBox|image=0791Solgaleo.png|imagelink=Solgaleo (Pokémon)#Biology|size=100px|pokemon=Solgaleo|form=Solgaleo|type=Psychic|type2=Steel}}

{{FormBox|image=0792Lunala-FullMoonPhase.png|imagelink=Lunala (Pokémon)#Biology|size=100px|pokemon=Lunala|form=Full Moon phase|type=Psychic|type2=Ghost}}
{{FormGroupFooter}}


The forms differ in [[base stats]] and learn different [[move]]s from each other. If Calyrex separates from Glastrier or Spectrier, it will forget Glacial Lance or Astral Barrage, along with any other moves it knows that Calyrex can't learn in its base form. If this process would leave Calyrex without any moves, it will learn {{m|Confusion}}.
Solgaleo and Lunala enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. They both enter this phase while in [[Ultra Space]] (although not while in battle) or when using their [[signature move]]s. For Solgaleo, these moves are {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}; for Lunala, these are {{m|Moongeist Beam}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.


If Calyrex is combined with Glastrier or Spectrier, it cannot be [[trade]]d, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]]. Due to this and the mechanics of the Reins of Unity, it is only possible to have a single mounted Calyrex at a time.
For more details, see '''{{ps|Solgaleo|Biology|Solgaleo → Biology}}''' and '''{{ps|Lunala|Biology|Lunala → Biology}}'''.

===Dudunsparce===
For more details, see '''{{ps|Marshadow|Biology|Marshadow → Biology}}'''.
{{p|Dudunsparce}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from a weight difference, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form {{p|Dunsparce}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce obtained via [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as these may be either form regardless of their encryption constant value. Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite.

{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, [[#Kyurem|White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem]] enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their [[signature move]]s ({{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}} for Reshiram, {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Bolt Strike}} for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

The 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the [[Ability]] {{a|Aura Break}} are each treated as separate forms from the 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability {{a|Power Construct}}. This explains why the [[Ability Capsule]] can't be used to change Zygarde's Ability, only the [[Zygarde Cube]] can.

Various forms of Unown

Some Pokémon have major variations between individuals, known as forms (Japanese: すがた form). These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the Pokédex. Some Pokémon with form differences can change between their forms (e.g. Castform), while others are fixed and cannot be changed (e.g. Unown). Other form differences include: gender differences, regional forms, Mega Evolutions, and Gigantamax forms.

Overview

Form differences were introduced in Generation II, in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent generations have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in Generation III.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in stats, type, Ability, moves they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, whose alternate forms are usually named using the French word Forme (Japanese: フォルム Forme) instead.

Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, every official different form has a name given by the Pokédex, though Arceus, Genesect, and Furfrou's alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Generations II, III, and IV, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, 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 II, the Pokédex has a separate Unown Mode to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as gender differences. In Generation V, the forms section returns and displays Shiny Pokémon as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In Pokémon Black and White, the forms section is only available after interacting with Cedric Juniper in Mistralton City, while in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, it is available from the start. Starting in Generation VI, the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the image shown in the Pokédex.

Additionally, there exist form-like transformations and technical forms that are not recognized by the Pokédex, but otherwise appear or behave like unique forms or are treated as such in game code.

Alcremie's form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of Sweet. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-Gigantamax forms of Alcremie, not including its Shiny coloration.

In addition to the forms of Rotom that are directly obtainable by the player, there are more forms that it assumes when possessing other appliances. These forms do not have battle capabilities and are not obtainable by the player, instead functioning as non-player characters.

For more details, see Rotom → Biology, Rotom Pokédex, Rotom Phone, Rotomi, Drone Rotom and Rotom Bike.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem

Reshiram, Zekrom, White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their signature moves (Fusion Flare and Blue Flare for Reshiram, Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

For more details, see Reshiram → Biology, Zekrom → Biology, and Kyurem → Biology.

Solgaleo and Lunala

Solgaleo and Lunala enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. They both enter this phase while in Ultra Space (although not while in battle) or when using their signature moves. For Solgaleo, these moves are Sunsteel Strike and Searing Sunraze Smash; for Lunala, these are Moongeist Beam and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.

For more details, see Solgaleo → Biology and Lunala → Biology.

Marshadow

For more details, see Revavroom → Form data, and Starmobile.

Cyclizar

According to Jacq, Cyclizar has three forms: a basic form, a battle form, and a ride form.

For more details, see Cyclizar → Biology.

Koraidon and Miraidon

Koraidon and Miraidon can enter one of three different forms when they travel the Paldea region and two forms based on how much power they have. They can change their forms to better suit what they are doing or what terrain they are traveling over.

For more details, see Koraidon → Biology and Miraidon → Biology.

Pokémon with technical forms

Some Pokémon have forms which are only distinguished internally within the game's programming. Most of these forms are not visually distinct from one another, but may still have an impact on gameplay.

Pikachu and Eevee

The partner Pikachu and partner Eevee given to the player in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are each considered separate forms internally. They use higher quality models, have higher base stats, and are unable to evolve, along with many other minor differences.

For more details, see Pikachu → Form data and Eevee → Form data.

Mothim

Mothim has three forms internally, each corresponding to the three forms of Burmy it can evolve from.

For more details, see Mothim → Form data.

Greninja

0658Greninja.png
Battle Bond Greninja

Greninja with the Ability Battle Bond are treated as a separate form to other Greninja, and cannot breed.

For more details, see Greninja → Form data.

Zygarde

The 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability Aura Break are each treated as separate forms from the 10% and 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability Power Construct. This explains why the Ability Capsule can't be used to change Zygarde's Ability, only the Zygarde Cube can.

For more details, see Zygarde → Form data.

Scatterbug and Spewpa

0664Scatterbug.png
Scatterbug
0665Spewpa.png
Spewpa

Vivillon patterns are each treated as separate forms. Because Vivillon's pattern is determined by the location the Scatterbug is generated in, each of Vivillon's 20 patterns has a corresponding form for both Scatterbug and Spewpa.

For more details, see Scatterbug → Form data and Spewpa → Form data.

Rockruff

Rockruff

Rockruff with the Ability Own Tempo are treated as a separate form to other Rockruff, and will always evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc.

For more details, see Rockruff → Form data.

In other games

Pokémon Shuffle

Main article: List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number

In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon with different forms have different Skills and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.

Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the first partner Pokémon. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.

Pokémon GO

Main article: List of Pokémon with form differences (GO)

The majority of Pokémon in Pokémon GO have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of Shaymin, Furfrou, and Hoopa. Although every species has one Pokédex entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a trade will be considered a Special Trade.

Trivia

  • As of Generation IX, four Pokémon have form differences that remain unobtainable. These are:
  • Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:
    • Darmanitan and Tauros are the only Pokémon whose regional forms have further form differences.
    • Urshifu is the only Pokémon whose Gigantamax form has form differences.
      • Although Toxtricity and Alcremie have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.
    • Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
      • Rotom has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
