If a Pokémon has a Gigantamax form, it is listed immediately afterwards with its Pokédex entry, weight and height.

Evolution chain
At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary line, including the Pokémon's Mega Evolution. Pokémon that do not evolve instead have the words "Does not evolve". A Pokémon that is on one side of a branched Evolution will show itself, and the Pokémon it evolved from, but not the other side of the branch.
