List of Pokémon with form differences in Pokémon GO
In Pokémon GO, certain Pokémon have various forms which, while similar to those in the core series, operate using different mechanics. 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 new silhouette in the Nearby screen and receiving one in a trade will be considered a Special Trade. They also may have different base stats or moves, and are also ordered separately in the Player’s Pokémon inventory.
Some, but not all, Pokémon with gender differences can be considered different forms based on these criteria. While most gender differences are purely cosmetic and have no effect on gameplay, male and female Meowstic and Oinkologne have different movesets and base stats, respectively. While some male and female Pokémon may be ordered separately in the Pokémon inventory, such as Frillish, Jellicent, and Pyroar, they do not have differing base stats or movesets and are therefore not included below.
Many forms in GO are determined at the time of capture or Evolution and cannot be changed, including certain forms which can in the core series games. Exceptions to this include Shaymin, Furfrou, Hoopa, and Zygarde, as well as Pokémon that have undergone Fusion, Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion, Gigantamax, or have entered a Battle-Only Form.
Regional forms
Regional forms were first introduced to Pokémon GO on May 29, 2018 with the release of Alolan Exeggutor. Some species appear in the wild, while others are exclusive to 7 km Eggs, raids, and later, Field Research. The availability of certain regional forms may change during limited-time special events. The first Galarian form, Galarian Weezing, was introduced in raids on November 16, 2019 to celebrate the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield. The first Hisuian form, Hisuian Voltorb, was introduced in the wild and Special Research on January 30, 2022 to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The first Paldean form, Paldean Wooper, was introduced in the wild on November 5, 2023 for Wooper Community Day.

Many of these forms are Event Pokémon that, besides cosmetic differences, do not have notable effects on gameplay. Some of these Event Pokémon do, however, have different movesets compared to the standard Pikachu that is found in the wild. A standard Pikachu can learn the Legacy moves Present, Surf, and Thunder via Elite TM. To determine if an Event Pikachu can learn Legacy moves, the Player can attempt to use an Elite Fast TM or Elite Charged TM on the Pokémon and see what moves are available.

Zygarde has three interchangeable forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. 10% Zygarde and the Zygarde Cube are obtainable after completing the third step of the From A to Zygarde Special Research.

The Player can transform Zygarde back from Complete Forme to 50% Forme, and then from 50% Forme to 10% Forme, using 10 Zygarde Candy and 2000 Stardust each time. After reverting the form, transforming Zygarde from 10% Forme to 50% Forme will require another 50 Zygarde Cells, and transforming Zygarde from 50% Forme to Complete Forme will require another 200 Zygarde Cells.

Lycanroc
Lycanroc has three forms. Like in the core series games, most Rockruff can evolve into Midday Form or Midnight Form Lycanroc depending on the time of day. Unlike the core series games, however, Abilities are not used in Pokémon GO, so Dusk Form Lycanroc is obtained differently. Since January 2024, some Rockruff are only capable of evolving into Dusk Form Lycanroc, which can be seen on the Pokémon’s summary screen. Rockruff that can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc cannot evolve into Midday Form or Midnight Form Lycanroc, and vice versa.

Mimikyu
Mimikyu can change from its Disguised Form to its Busted Form, its Battle-Only Form, once per battle. When a Charged Attack is used against Mimikyu during Trainer Battles, Mimikyu will be protected from taking damage from the attack, upon which it will change to its Busted Form, which causes Mimikyu's Defense to be lowered until the end of the battle.
