Encountering a Pok\u00e9mon that is XXS or XXL will feature a unique animation and catching one will allow players to track the sizes of those Pok\u00e9mon species.\u00a0 This won\u2019t change anything for a Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s stats or other strength and instead functions similarly to the size differences that have been available in core Pok\u00e9mon titles for the last several generations. So don\u2019t expect an XXL Pok\u00e9mon you encounter to be the same as an Alpha Pok\u00e9mon from Legends: Arceus. It will be more like what was already present in the game for Gourgeist and Pumpkaboo.\u00a0 A new record system will also be tracked alongside each Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s size, with players able to break their own records by catching at least three Pok\u00e9mon of the same species to compare them.\u00a0 It is still unclear how Niantic will roll this feature out to more than the selected Hoenn Pok\u00e9mon, and it might end up being something that is only added in waves for select species. Expect more details to be shared throughout the ongoing Mythical Wishes season of content.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28091156\/Fip_ME4XEAERq7Y.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748363"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748363"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":748373,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748363\/revisions\/748373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/744877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748363"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=748363"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=748363"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=748363"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=748363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
