FORM & VARIANT DEX

Track the form you caught, not only the species.

Regional forms, patterns, styles, and transformations deserve separate collection records. DexJourney keeps them visible without distorting the base Pokédex.

WHY A FORM DEX?

One Pokédex number can represent several collection goals

A species-level checklist answers whether you have caught that Pokémon. It cannot show whether you own its Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, or Paldean form—or a specific pattern, style, fusion, or other persistent appearance.

The Forms & Variants Dex gives each curated form its own caught state, search result, release label, and special tags while keeping the main species checklist clean.

CATALOG COVERAGE

Regional forms, patterns, styles, and transformations

Regional forms

Track Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, and Paldean forms independently.

Patterns and styles

Separate persistent visual variants such as patterns, trims, colors, and styles.

Fusions and transformations

Record supported fusion states and other collection-relevant transformations.

Custom variants

Add an event costume or personal collection entry when it is not part of the curated catalog.

FORM-LEVEL DETAILS

Add special attributes without changing species totals

Open a variant card to record whether that exact form is Shiny, Shadow, Purified, Lucky, XXL, XXS, or Perfect IV. These form-level notes stay separate from species-category completion, which avoids claiming every form has identical availability.

Release labels are historical: A released form may not be obtainable during the current season or event. DexJourney is a planning checklist, not a live spawn or raid schedule.

FIND A FORM FAST

Search and filter the variant catalog

  • Search by species name, form label, Pokédex number, category, or tag.
  • Filter by form kind to focus on regional forms, patterns, styles, fusions, or custom entries.
  • Switch between all, caught, and missing forms.
  • Use a species-level search in the main Collection page when you do not need form detail.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Forms and variants FAQ

Are costumes included automatically?

Costume volume changes rapidly and many appearances are event-specific, so costumes can be added as custom variants. This avoids presenting an incomplete costume catalog as authoritative.

Are Mega, Dynamax, and Gigantamax all treated as forms?

DexJourney keeps collection concepts distinct. Mega and Gigantamax have species-level eligibility tags, while persistent or collection-relevant alternate entries may also appear in the Forms & Variants catalog when appropriate.

Why is a form marked released but unavailable now?

Released means it has been obtainable historically. Current event, region, raid, research, and seasonal availability can be narrower.
