Various Pokemon found on the server will only have one general form as well as a shiny varient of said pokemon. However there are a a fair few pokemon that have alternative forms which are significant for the use within battles as well as their appearance.
Regional Forms
One of the main different forms you'll see with pokemon is with Regional forms. First introduced with Pokemon Sun and Moon, regional pokemon take a much beloved pokemon and gives it's a twist from it's design, moves all the way to it's typing i.e. Vulpix is usually a fire type pokemon however Alolan Vulpix twists it up by making it a Ice type.
Here you can find a list of all the different regional forms based on the region they were first intoduced:
General Pokemon Forms

How you change these forms varies depending on the pokemon. We will list all of the pokemon with forms below and how you change between them:
