Pokémon Size Variance |
|
|
Pokémon GO was the first Pokémon game to introduce size variance. Whenever you catch a Pokémon, it will have a specific weight or height, based on the average heigh/weight of the Pokémon with larger or smaller Pokémon getting marked by XS, S, L or XL. These had no visual difference and were just there as an interesting data point. |

XXS and XXL Pokémon |
|
|
In Late 2022, XXS and XXL Pokémon were added to the game. This was a special size of the Pokémon and had their models and appearances change to appear small or large. They have a special animation when encountered and have their model scale down in all elements including AR shots, the Pokémon status screen, as your buddy and more. These Pokémon also have a special element. When sent through Pokémon HOME to the main series games, they will be as big or small as possible, with XXS Pokémon getting a size value of 0 and XXL Pokémon getting a size value of 255. This means that they will be as big or as small as they can be, with this variance being shown natively in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. |
