Notes: - Shiny Pokémon are ultra rare alternately-coloured variants. - The 'Machampion' - Mark McQuillan of the UK famously used Machamp, a Pokémon no-one expected to have competitive success, to win the 2015 World Championships in the Seniors Division! - Protean - An ability that changes the Pokémon's type to that of the move it's using, boosting the move's power. From Generation IX onwards, it only activates the first time a move is chosen. - Mega-evolved Pokémon - a temporary final form some Pokémon have access to, boosting their stats and sometimes changing their type and ability.
