View source for Form differences

Some Pokémon have variations between individuals, whether it be due to their gender or some other factor. These are known as '''form differences'''. These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the Pokédex.

==Pokémon with alternate forms==

Alternate forms are variations between individuals that depend on some factor other than gender.

===Musburry===
[[Musburry]] has different appearances depending on which berry it's holding, which can change if the berry is eaten or removed. This difference is entirely cosmetic, and has no effect on anything other than appearance.

===Flowger and Bullotus===

[[Flowger]] and [[Bullotus]] have different appearances depending on whether it is encountered on land or on the water. This difference is entirely cosmetic, and has no effect on anything other than appearance.

Neither form can change into the other. The appearance of the mother is passed on to the hatched Pokémon during breeding.

The body color of Flowger and Bullotus change. Their flowers also change color and have different patterns.

===Noxial===

[[Noxial]] has different appearances depending on the item it was holding as a [[Phlask]] when it evolved. A Phlask holding a Burn Heal will become an Endothermic Form Noxial, while a Phlask holding an Ice Heal will become an Exothermic Form Noxial.

Neither form can change into the other.

As well as having different appearances, the alternate forms of Noxial can also learn some different moves by leveling up.

==Pokémon with gender differences==

Some species of Pokémon have differences in appearance due to gender, with noticeable differences between the males and females.

These differences are a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism sexual dimorphism], which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

Pokémon that have gender differences are:

==Unofficial alternate forms==

Some Pokémon have differing sprites in the game, but they are not recognised as official alternate forms. They are:

* [[Musburry]] - Its tail berry changes depending on the [[Berries|berry]] it is holding. The color of its snout changes to match the berry.
* [[Doppole]] and [[Artifish]] - Both have a variety of possible lures.
