I completely forgot. Thanks!

I forgot about Darmanitan and Unown - I was wondering why Spinda wasn't working, but I guess the different spot patterns aren't forms.

However, the answers should be 'Resolute Keldeo', not 'Resolution'; 'Mow Rotom', not 'Cut'; and 'Fan Rotom', not 'Spin'.

Each Unown is not considered an alternate form since their is no difference in typing or stats and the Pokedex doesn't list them as A forme, B forme and so on. It's your decision whether or not to remove Unown though, but this is just my opinion

I only counted Primal Dialga, Pink Kecleon and Shadow Mewtwo and Lugia in case you're not just using the main games

I know most of these are only because this test is out dated but I did this comment for 2 reasons.

1: In case you decide to update this test

2: Just to show off because I was bored
