The pack adds three kinds of creatures. Knowing which kind you are looking at helps you plan your team and avoid confusing a new creature with one you already own.
The Three Categories
1. Regional forms are versions of familiar monsters that adapted to a different biome. They are still that monster, but with a new look suited to where they live. Expect to find them in biomes where the original normally isn't.
2. Convergent evolutions look similar to classic favorites but are completely different species. Do not assume a convergent creature shares anything with the monster it resembles. Check its info like you would for any brand-new catch.
3. Original creatures are entirely new and have no classic counterpart at all.
Checking What You Caught
- After catching something that looks familiar, open its summary in your party or PC. Compare its name and details with the classic monster it resembles.
- If the species is different from the one you expected, you have a convergent evolution. Treat it as its own creature when building your team.
- If it is the same species with a different appearance, you have a regional form.
- If it does not resemble anything you know, it is one of the original creatures.
Tip: Never assume a lookalike shares the battle plan of the classic monster it resembles. Test each new catch in a few battles before committing it to your main team.
