The Wiki says that Cramorant “is the only Pokémon with 5 different forms at the moment”, and the Pokédex does show 5 spots for #845, but, as far as I can tell, Cramorant only has 3 forms: Normal, Gulping, and Gorging.

There's also shiny gulping and shiny gorging, which count for two seperate forms

But no other Pokémon require shiny forms to fill the Dex... And what would be the two shiny forms in question? The Wiki shows 7 different shiny forms, depending on if the Cramorant or the Arrokuda or Pikachu was shiny. There’s shiny normal Cramorant, shiny Cramorant gulping a normal Arrokuda, normal Cramorant gulping a shiny Arrokuda, shiny Cramorant gulping a shiny Arrokuda, shiny Cramorant gorging a normal Pikachu, normal Cramorant gulping a shiny Pikachu, and shiny Cramorant gulping a shiny Pikachu. Are the other two forms a shiny Cramorant gulping a shiny Arrokuda and a shiny Cramorant gulping a shiny Pikachu? This is really weird.

Also, this is unrelated to the question, but it’s weird how the shiny Pikachu has the same color whether it’s being swallowed by the shiny or normal Cramorant and the normal and shiny Arrokuda are the same color whether they’re being swallowed by the shiny or normal Cramorant but the normal Pikachu has a different color if it’s being swallowed by the shiny Cramorant (a lighter color, the opposite effect of what shininess does to a Pikachu).

These are the supposed forms of Cramorant as seen in the PokéDex

#845
Cramorant



#845
Cramorant (Gulping) = Cramorant + Arrokuda


#845
Cramorant (Shiny Gulping) = Cramorant + SHINY Arrokuda



#845
Cramorant (Gorging) = Cramorant + Pikachu


#845
Cramorant (Shiny Gorging) = Cramorant + SHINY Pikachu


..as shown in that wiki.

Okay, so it’s just the Arrokuda and the Pikachu that need to be shiny?

Yes, if you want the SHINY version of that forme.. just combine it with a SHINY Cramorant.

I don’t want any shinies, I was just trying to understand how to complete the Pokédex. And it seemed like you were saying that the Cramorant doesn’t need to be shiny, but now you’re saying it does, even though none of the Cramorant in those photos are shiny, just the Pokémon it swallowed. I guess because it’s technically not a shiny Pokémon because it’s just swallowing one.

Only the pokemon being swallowed needs to be shiny to complete the pokedex. They're saying if a shiny cramorant swallows a pokemon, you'll get the shiny of that form

Wot. We need the shiny forms for the dex??😭
