#### Normal Pokemon with Forms Alongside Legendaries, general pokemon will also have different forms which range from just from their looks all the way to changing their stats, moves and so on within the game. Here is a list of them all here:

Unown

Unown is special in that it has 28 different forms you can find on the server with each based on a different alphabet character as well as a exclamation mark and a question mark. **How do I find a specific form?** Each of these forms spawns randomly so there's no real way for you to farm for one particular form. You might find the one you want right away, or it could take you 100+. Are you willing to collect them all?

Castform

Currently **Castform isn't fully implemented** on the server so there's no way to get any form including the base form.

Burmy and Wormadam

Currently **Burmy and Wormadam isn't fully implemented** on the server so there's no way to get any form of them.

Cherrim

Currently **Cherrim isn't fully implemented** on the server so there's no way to get any form including the base form.

Shellos and Gastrodon

The differences between these forms of Shellos and Gastrodon are just purely cosmetic. **How do I find each form?** In order to find **West Sea** forms of Shellos and Gastrodon you'll want to be looking within **Cold Oceans** and **Frozen Oceans** via fishing or on the seafloor as well as uncommon spawns within **Beaches**. In order to find **East Sea** forms of Shellos and Gastrodon you'll want to be looking within **Lukewarm Oceans** and **Warm Oceans** via fishing or on the seafloor as well as uncommon spawns within **Beaches**.

**Why change Rotom's form?** Each rotom form outside of the base form comes with a brand new typing as well as different moves and upgraded stats. Pick the rotom that best fits your team!

Basculin and Basculegion

In order to get either version of Basculegion, you need to **evolve a White Stripped** Basculin and **depending on it's gender** you'll either get the red stripped form of Basculegion if it's Male or the white stripped form if it's a Female.

**How do I change form?** Unfortunately there is no current way to change Darmanitan's form on the server for either regional form into it's **Zen Mode** form.

Deerling and Sawsbuck

Currently you can only obtain the **Spring Forms** of these pokemon on the server.

Greninja

**How do I change form?** Unfortunately there is no current way to change Greninja's form on the server despite having access to **Battle Bond** which would change it's form elsewhere.

Vivillon

There is currently 23 different forms of Vivillon on the server, which are all just purely cosmetic. **How do I get a particular form?** Which form you would like to get will determine on what biome you're currently in when either evolving Spewpa or finding a Vivillon spawn naturally. There are certain forms that are un-available to obtain by normal means.

Flabebe, Floette and Florges

You'll find all of these within the same biome that Flabebe spawn, so you'll have to get lucky if you wish to find the corresponding colour they you're looking for. When you evolve them it will retain the colour of the flower through the evolution line.

The only exception to the rule is **AZ Floette**, however this **isn't implemented** on the server as of yet.

Furfrou

Unlike with other Pokemon that you can easily change forms between, Furfrou works differently in that you don't actually evolve it since all you need is Shears and a Dye. **How to change form?** You will need a **Shear** and a **Dye** of Choice. From there all you need to do is `Shift + Right Click` while holding the dye and there will be a option for you to Change Cosmetic Item which will give the furfrou the dye in your hand.

After this all you need to do is `Right Click` it with the **Shears** and you'll get a animation of it changing form in which once complete, you'll have the different cut for Furfrou.

There is no benefit for changing the forms of Furfrou so it's only cosmetic that will be changing with your Furfrou. Here you can find a **list of all the different cuts for Furfrou** and the Dye's needed for them: | Furfrou Trim | Dye Needed | | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------: | |

Sinistea and Polteageist

While you can obtain both **Cracked Pot** (*Phony Form*) and **Chipped Pot** (*Antique Form*) in order to **evolve Sinistea** into it's respective forms, there unfornately **isn't any way to find differences** between the model in the game as of yet.

Alcremie

There are a fair few different forms of Alcremie you can obtain, each of which you have to evolve into from Milcery. **How to evolve Milcery** In order to evolve Milcery into Alcremie you'll need to **give it a sweet to hold**. The full list of sweets include: * Strawberry Sweet * Love Sweet * Berry Sweet * Clover Sweet * Flower Sweet * Start Sweet * Ribbon Sweet Now the time of day does also pay a factor into what style you might end up with. Once your milcery has a sweet all you need to do is go into the **status menu** and **evolve it** into the form you wish it to be.

Unfortunately once you have evolved your Milcery there is no way to change it's form into a different one so make sure to choose wisely.

Currently there is **no way for players to change their Eiscue** from Ice Face form into Noice Face form despite the fact it's Ice Face Ability is working in-game.

Indeedee

Indeedee has two **forms that are based on it's gender**. In the photo shown above you can see the **female form on the left** and the **male form on the right**. There is no way to change between the forms with a single Indeedee so if you want a certain form you have to hunt for the right gender.

Gimmighoul and Gholdengo

You'll find Gimmighoul's within ruins found throughout the wilds so be sure to keep an eye out for them since they're a great place to earn more coins which you'll need to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo with a whopping **999 relic coins needed**. Spoiler but if you give Gimmighoul **256 netherite scraps** alongside all of the coins you can actually evolve it into a special Netherite form of Gholdengo.
