Size Variation |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since Pokémon GO, Pokémon have been able to be different sizes, with Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu & Eevee being the first main series titles to display this variation, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus the first to have Pokémon size variations be visible between the Pokémon. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet continue with this by showing the size variations on the overworld and in battle once again, although it doesn't list the Pokémon's size in the Summary screen. A Pokémon's size cannot be changed and is determined when it is caught or hatched. It cannot be controlled in any way besides from the use of Meal Powers
Pokémon that are wild Tera Pokémon are automatically based between 200 and 255 in terms of size. Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon and Raging Bolt, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, Iron Leaves, Iron Crown & Iron Boulder will have no visible size difference but will get any bonus such as Marks for the size generated if they have been transferred through other games. |

Checking Size |

There is a way to check a Pokémon's size, however. In Mesagoza, by a PokéBall flowerbed in the west, you will find a person who can check your Pokémon's size for you. If your Pokémon are the biggest they can be or smallest they can be, they will be given a special mark

Lock On |

There is another way to check a Pokémon's size before you catch it, other than just comparing it. In The Indigo Disk, when you join the League Club you will be able to upgrade the Lock On feature in exchange for Blueberry Points. With the upgraded feature, when you lock on to a wild Pokémon, if it is of a certain size then it will show a display mark to tell you the range of size that it can be
As it is only a range rather than guaranteed XXXS or XXXL Pokémon that'd be eligible for a mark, catching is still required to narrow the size down. |
