Pokédex entries

Zero Form

Scarlet This Pokémon changes its appearance if it hears its allies calling for help. Palafin will never show anybody its moment of transformation.
Violet Its physical capabilities are no different than a Finizen’s, but when its allies are in danger, it transforms and powers itself up.

Hero Form

Scarlet This Pokémon’s ancient genes have awakened. It is now so extraordinarily strong that it can easily lift a cruise ship with one fin.
Violet This hero of the ocean swims at a speed of 50 knots and saves drowning people and Pokémon.
