Sequel forms and Pokédex completion rules
Separate Kyurem fusion, Therian forms and seasonal appearances from caught-species rewards.
Nintendo DS sequels; not the original Black and White story.
Fusion and external forms
The DNA Splicers combine Kyurem with Zekrom for Black Kyurem or Reshiram for White Kyurem. Kyurem retains the evolving battle record; the other dragon is held inside the fusion until separated. Therian Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus connect to Dream Radar and the Reveal Glass. Regional cards and base-stat tables use their stated standard forms.
A form does not automatically add a species
Deerling and Sawsbuck vary with season; Basculin has stripe variants; Darmanitan’s Zen Mode is an ability-triggered battle change. Forms and evolution are different operations. The completion task counts the specified Pokédex species, not one specimen for every picture variant.
Match the reward to seen or caught status
The regional list contains #000–#300. Seeing non-Mythical regional entries opens the Nature Preserve path; catching the required regional entries gives the Oval Charm, while the National caught requirement gives the Shiny Charm. Mythical exclusions and exact requirements are detailed in the existing completion guide. A living collection, a caught entry and a seen entry are separate goals.
Check your version, story progress and difficulty before using a location or battle record. These guides cover the original Nintendo DS sequels.
