Giratina's forms in Explorers of Sky

I've noticed that on TCRF page, you(?) added a video that goes over an oversight where Giratina's stat modifiers are wrongly applied. I assume that since Giratina doesn't have the other form in Time and Darkness, it doesn't have any stat modifiers applied? Or does it actually work properly?

I'm almost certain Giratina uses no stat modifiers in Time and Darkness, but we'd probably have to test damage calculation to be 100% sure. Deoxys is the only other Pokémon I know of to use this stat modifier system (no bugs here), so I believe it was specifically used to differentiate forms while keeping their internal stats the same.

In all fairness, the way stats work in Mystery Dungeon force the devs to get a bit... creative with forms (IIRC Eevee in Explorers straight up has a better stat growth than the Eeveelutions until like Lv. 50 or something). I've been trying to add relevant information to the "Form data" section on the species' pages (like how Rotom's appliance forms don't exist in Explorers and in Super they are permanent form differences which are individually recruited).
