Flavor

Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White

Its appearance changes with the weather. Recently, its molecules were found to be just like water.

Black 2, White 2

Temperature and weather affect its cellular structure, so this Pokémon changes form according to the weather.

Generation 6
X

This Pokémon can change its cells, taking different forms based on the temperature and humidity.

Y

It has the ability to change its form into the sun, the rain, or a snow cloud, depending on the weather.

Omega Ruby

Castform’s appearance changes with the weather. This Pokémon gained the ability to use the vast power of nature to protect its tiny body.

Alpha Sapphire

Castform borrows the power of nature to transform itself into the guises of the sun, rain, and snow-clouds. This Pokémon’s feelings change with the weather.

Generation 7
Sun

It changes its form depending on the weather. Changes in the temperature or humidity appear to affect its cellular structure.

Moon

Its form changes on its own, due to its cells’ sensitive reactions to temperature and humidity.

Ultra Sun

Although its form changes with the weather, that is apparently the result of a chemical reaction and not the result of its own free will.

Ultra Moon

Its form changes depending on the weather. The rougher conditions get, the rougher Castform’s disposition!
