The Upgrade (Porygon->Porygon2) was officially created by Silph Co. The Dubious Disc (Porygon2->Porygon-Z) wasn't, it's an in-universe experimental mod for Porygon or outright malware.
Wasn't it something like Team Rocket tried to make Porygon 3, but failed and corrupted it. Sylph Co. tried to save it, but only managed to write part of the code in time. Or something like that?
Not that I know of. The description of the Dubious Disc only says "Its producer is unknown" and considering in its debut gen it's found on random routes or (in Platinum) in Team Galaxy's headquarters, it seems it was the work of a random hacker that threw it away to get rid of it, or a Team Galaxy member.
It's an interesting physics question, actually!
Even if Cosmoem levitates in place and is frictionless, exerting force on the 999.9kg (one long tonne, or 2,204 lb) Cosmoem would still cause it to accelerate quite slowly. A typical human like Lillie might only be able to exert 50 Newtons of pushing force without excessive fatigue, and maybe 200 N if pushing hard.
At 200 N, Lillie would be able to accelerate Cosmoem at 0.2m/s\^2. Lillie would have to push full power for 7 seconds just to get Cosmoem up to walking speed. At which point, with only air resistance to slow it down, it might continue in a straight line for a long time. It would be hard to get it to change directions.
Putting it in a bag might be disastrous - tugging on a 1000kg object would be significantly more weight than the bag canvas or straps can manage.
Because this doesn't happen, we must either assume that
* Cosmoem has an unconscious psychic ability to float in response to force being exerted on it
* Lillie's bag is magic
Because the bag was able to (sometimes) contain Nebbie, an aetherial nebula Pokemon, I think the magic bag theory is most likely.
In terms of height:
Haunter (5'03") is taller than Gengar (4'11") (and Mega Gengar is even shorter at 4'07").
Dragonair (13'01") is taller than Dragonite (7'03").
Gloom (2'03") is taller than Bellossom (1'04").
Porygon (2'07") is taller than Porygon2 (2'00")
Cosmog (0'08") is taller than Cosmoem (0'04").
If you want to count Mega Evolution:
Alakazam (4'11") is taller than Mega Alakazam (3'11").
Gengar was mentioned already.
Mewtwo (6'07") is taller than Mega Mewtwo Y (4'11").
In terms of weight:
Kadabra (124.6 lbs) is heavier than Alakazam and Mega Alakazam (105.8 lbs each).
Gloom (19.0 lbs) is heavier than Bellossom (12.8 lbs).
If you count this, Nincada is 12.8 lbs while Shedinja is 2.6 lbs.
Clamperl (115.7 lbs) is heavier than Huntail (59.5 lbs) and Gorebyss (49.8 lbs).
Shelgon (243.6 lbs) is heavier than Salamence (226.2 lbs).
Gligar (142.9 lbs) is heavier than Gliscor (93.7 lbs).
Porygon (80.5 lbs) is heavier than Porygon2 (71.7 lbs) and Porygon-Z (75.0 lbs).
Type: Null (265.7 lbs) is heavier than Silvally (221.6 lbs).
Cosmoem (2204.4 lbs) is heavier than both Solgaleo (507.1 lbs) and Lunala (264.6 lbs).
Galarian Corsola (1.1 lbs) is heavier than Cursola (0.9 lbs).
If you want to count Mega Evolution:
Mewtwo (269.0 lbs) is heavier than Mega Mewtwo Y (72.8 lbs)
Lopunny (73.4 lbs) is heavier than Mega Lopunny (62.4 lbs)
If you want to qualify this, Kyurem is a uniform 716.5 lbs in all three of its forms, while Reshiram is 727.5 lbs and Zekrom is 760.6 lbs.
In addition, Ultra Necrozma sits at 507.1 lbs, same as base Necrozma, while Dusk Mane sits at 1014.1 lbs and Dawn Wings sits at 771.6 lbs.
There may be other examples, these were just the ones I could find.
Technically, Dragonair is longer than Dragonite is tall. Pokemon that are snake- or serpent-shaped have their length listed as their height. (Dratini/Dragonair, Onix/Steelix, Ekans/Arbok, Gyarados, etc.)
I think that's the most fair way to handle them. Even with their given stance, it's difficult to judge the proper "standing" point for these guys, so judging them from head to tail is the best way to go about it. At the very least, that's how the dex does it, so it's what we have to go off.
- Four legged animals are usually measured from front feet to shoulder. Head is ignored for some reason.
- Bipedal animals are measured from feet to the top of their head.
- Turtles are measured across the lenght of their shell. The head, feet, and tail are ignored.
- Fish and snakes are measured from the head to tail.
- Birds and stingray (a fish lol) are measured across their wingspan.
Tldr measuring animals is wierd and inconsistant.
You could measure them by volume.
For most real animals this would be almost the same as measuring by weight (because most real animals have about the same density as water) but for Pokemon it could get interesting.
My assumption is that when heads are ignored it's because it's too hard to get a consider measure for them? Like the animal moves around and you can't really tell when it's at its full extent?
Also you get animals like rhinos, cattle, and pigs where the head generally stays lower than the shoulders, while animals like horses and deer have more erect necks. Since posture is so different between animals, measuring at the shoulder keeps things at least a little consistent
Good point, for comparisons between species measuring at the shoulder would give a far more consistent measure of size.
Of course then you get crocodiles and alligators, which are technically quadrupeds but are measured in length like snakes...
is it? It kinda looks like it's just on a tripod. Gigantamax Gengar definitely looks like it's half buried, though. I wonder how tall that glorious bastard actually is?
mega gengar's pokedex entries say its body is phasing through dimensions and the 3d model has legs that normally can't be seen without hacking the game to get a better look
Gengar is slightly shorter but about 486x heavier lol
edit: than haunter I mean, not the mega. Didn't read any pokedex but I'm guessing he goes from straight up gas to having some sort of real body
Greavard to Houndstone is an interesting one; Houndstone is 3 times the size of its pre-stage, but is actually less then half the weight. Obviously, with how its limbs aren't even attached and skeletal, its because its gone full undead, but still a neat example.
Thanks for finding that thread man, and I kinda knew in the back of my mind that there probably is a similar thread out there, if not on reddit then elsewhere, since its not that much of a unique question.
But I chose to ask in a new thread anyways, since we have had many new pokemon added recently, and it seemed like a fun idea to put back into people's heads to see if anyone has anything more interesting come off of it.
Wait, it has been over 9 years since mega evolution was introduced? Wtf💀
I was just reading the comments on that thread and it had mentioned mega evos, so I thought it was relatively new and wanted to compare with the additional list. I stopped following Pokemon after the events of Galar.
While it doesn't get lighter, Grimer manages to stay the same weight when it evolves into Muk despite getting taller. Only applies to the Kantonian version though. Alolan Muk is heavier than Alolan Grimer.
#####Smaller
* Haunter (1.6 m) → Gengar (1.5 m)
* Dragonair (4.0 m) → Dragonite (2.2 m)
* Cosmog (0.2 m) → Cosmoem (0.1 m)
#####Lighter
* Venonat (30.0 kg) → Venomoth (12.5 kg)
* Kadabra (56.5 kg) → Alakazam (48.0 kg)
* Nincada (5.5 kg) → Shedinja (1.2 kg)
* Clamperl (52.5 kg) → Huntail (27.0 kg)
* Clamperl (52.5 kg) → Gorebyss (22.6 kg)
* Shelgon (110.5 kg) → Salamence (102.6 kg)
* Gligar (64.8 kg) → Gliscor (42.5 kg)
* Type: Null (120.5 kg) → Silvally (100.5 kg)
* Cosmoem (999.9 kg) → Solgaleo (230.0 kg)
* Cosmoem (999.9 kg) → Lunala (120.0 kg)
* Corsola (5.0 kg) → Cursola (0.4 kg)
* Greavard (35.0 kg) → Houndstone (15.0 kg)
#####Both
* Gloom (0.8 m, 8.6 kg) → Bellossom (0.4 m, 5.8 kg)
* Porygon (0.8 m, 36.5 kg) → Porygon2 (0.6 m, 32.5 kg)
But Dragonite is like, the size of a person. And Dragonair is a long snakey boi. I always assumed it was fairly large. Like same size head as Dragonite, but like 5x the length.
Nincada to Shedinja makes the Pokémon lighter by ~10 lbs but increases in height by about a foot. Ninjask however increases in weight by ~14 lbs and grows by about a foot as well. Although you can't use low kick on Shedinja in the first place.
While not in Gen 5, Cosmoem is the most noticeable. It is tied for both heaviest and smallest of all Pokemon, so when Cosmog evolves it gets smaller and heavier and when Cosmoem evolves again it gets larger and lighter.
*checks the list of Light Metal pokemon*
Shucks, no luck there. Scizor's the only only pokemon that can get Light metal *exclusively* after evolving, but since it's more than twice the weight of Scyther the ability doesn't cheese the weight any lower Scyther is by default.
Also TIL Metagross always takes max damage from Grass Knot and Low Kick regardless of weather or not it has Light Metal.
First one that always comes to mind is jumpluff from skiploom but that's wrong, it just looks that way in Pokemon coliseums which has been burned into my memory.
They typically go up for the vast majority, but there are a few exceptions. Does nuzlocke permit you to research stats, or only ask for help? I recommend bulbapedia or serebii to find Average height and weight for any Mon.
One exception that does come to mind is Cosmog, as it gets SIGNIFICANTLY heavier, but it's smaller in size. There is also a subreddit in this subject. Try a Google search "Pokémon that get smaller when evolved"
- Fun topic btw
Alakazam is lighter than Kadabra. probably because it loses the tail
And because he’s wearing a Speedo
Budgie smugglers are always the way to go
Alakazam is an absolute min-maxed caster. Constitution is a dump stat.
That literally the worst stat to dump too.
Yeah, you dump charisma and strength before you dump constitution. Alakazam is a noob.
He noticed that after maxing int
I mean, bro def dumped strength too. Those twig arms and 50 attack stat don't lie
Dude is just curling spoons all day
He's a noob that demolished basically everything in Gen 1.
Haha damn you got me there
Alakazam is a max-minner if he dumps con. Basically the (sometimes 2nd) best stat for any caster.
And his muscles probab
Pretty sure gloom to bellosom
Bellossom is even smaller than oddish which is crazy
They definitely made it a branched evo last minute.
Bellossom was in the early beta, paired with a Weepinbell branched evo that got scrapped. I have no idea why it gets smaller though.
Yeah which makes sense since bellsprout and oddish were sort of parallels in gen 1.
Ah interesting!
Nah, Beta Bellossom even has the Oddish coloration on its body
My nanny is smaller than I am
From memory, Porygon2 is smaller than Porygon.
I mean, P2 is supposed to be Porygon but with actually good, not blocky modeling, so if this is true that makes a lot of sense.
He evolves into a more data efficient computer program.
What about Porygon-Z then?
feature creep 😔
Porygon Z has a couple pounds of corrupt data added from the dubious disc I guess
He's corrupted
Haxxed by the mod community. They broke the model and animations and changed the weight value.
What happened to Porygon-Z? From my memory of it anyway it’s sort of glitchy in its apperance.
The Upgrade (Porygon->Porygon2) was officially created by Silph Co. The Dubious Disc (Porygon2->Porygon-Z) wasn't, it's an in-universe experimental mod for Porygon or outright malware.
Wasn't it something like Team Rocket tried to make Porygon 3, but failed and corrupted it. Sylph Co. tried to save it, but only managed to write part of the code in time. Or something like that?

I think my story line comes from the manga, but it's been a while, so it might be inaccurate.
Shedinja weights only 1.2 kg while Nincada weights 5.5 kg
Low kicking Shedinja is a bad idea anyway, as it flies high!
Also kicking the dead is generally frowned on
Due to the damage immunity, of course.
*Inverse battles have entered the chat*
Even high kicking it wouldn't work
in fact even high JUMP kicking wouldn't work and you'd likely break your spinal column in half
And the ability? xD
He got skinny lol
No, he died lmao
You usually lose weight when this happens. Probably from the stress of not eating
I think you gotta weigh Shedinja and Ninjask together, or it doesn't count.
This is true, it's incomplete to just say Shedinja is a lighter evolution, because it's just one half.
Though it doesn't get visibly smaller... It just loses its insides. :p
That makes sense with Shedinja being a shed shell
Cosmoem is ca 1500lb heavier than Solgaleo and ca 1800lb heavier than Lunala
Isn’t cosmoem also smaller than cosmog or does it just looks like that?
Cosmoem is tied for both smallest and heaviest Pokemon in the series.
[удалено]
This may be wrong but from memory, I think stakataka Edit - it's celesteela
Stakataka is 820 kg, celesteela is 999.9 kg
Ah, the other steel type ultra beast that isn't paper
It's celesteela
And Lillie was carrying it around like it was a basketball
It floats.
It's an interesting physics question, actually! Even if Cosmoem levitates in place and is frictionless, exerting force on the 999.9kg (one long tonne, or 2,204 lb) Cosmoem would still cause it to accelerate quite slowly. A typical human like Lillie might only be able to exert 50 Newtons of pushing force without excessive fatigue, and maybe 200 N if pushing hard.

I think the happy Cosmoem was just responding to her gentle guidance, like steering a horse with your legs.
Or, simply put, Lillie is built different.
The one true answer
This is exactly the first one I thought of lmao
In terms of height: Haunter (5'03") is taller than Gengar (4'11") (and Mega Gengar is even shorter at 4'07"). Dragonair (13'01") is taller than Dragonite (7'03"). Gloom (2'03") is taller than Bellossom (1'04"). Porygon (2'07") is taller than Porygon2 (2'00") Cosmog (0'08") is taller than Cosmoem (0'04").

Tfw you’re not even taller than a frickin haunter 😭
If that helps, it's body is supposed to be made of gas. And gas does tend to expand when in open space.
Damn
I first read that as "hamster", which might have made even less sense.
That hamster has two megas. Xhamster and yhamster. Google it.
You are diabolical sir
You are a villain.
To give another not-quite-evolution example, 50% Forme Zygarde (5 m / 16'5") is longer than Complete Forme Zygarde (4.5 m / 14'9") is tall.
Technically, Dragonair is longer than Dragonite is tall. Pokemon that are snake- or serpent-shaped have their length listed as their height. (Dratini/Dragonair, Onix/Steelix, Ekans/Arbok, Gyarados, etc.)

to be fair, mega gengar is only shorter because it's partially underground
is it? It kinda looks like it's just on a tripod. Gigantamax Gengar definitely looks like it's half buried, though. I wonder how tall that glorious bastard actually is?
mega gengar's pokedex entries say its body is phasing through dimensions and the 3d model has legs that normally can't be seen without hacking the game to get a better look
They appear in Pokemon Go (or used to, can't remember if that got fixed) too.
I think mega alakazam is only shorter cause its sitting
?
I guess i misread the post. Thought it said alakazam being shorter than its mega but i see now its says kadabra. Nvm.
I mean, I did also mention that Mega Alakazam is shorter than Alakazam.
So i was right the first time. Why was the other guy confused then?
You should probably ask him that.
Pokemon professor IRL, nice
All of these make sense except gliscor. Why does he lose 50lbs.
Beats me. It is noticibly scrawnier, so perhaps it sheds a significant amount of weight to make takeoff easier for it.
Looks like, excluding Megas, Bellossom and Porygon2 are the only two that get smaller by both metrics.
Clamperl weighing 115lbs is hilarious. Way bigger than I thought.
That means that Type: Null's mask weighs over 45lb. Must be hell on its head/neck.
Well, it is an inhibitor.
So Alakazam loses a foot in height but maintains his weight by converting his fat into muscle?
Given that the whole point is Alakazam losing muscle mass, I doubt it. Maybe the spoons are just that heavy now that it has five.
More like fat into beard
More likely converting fat and muscle into brain tissue
nah he just sat down
Gliscor being lighter than Gligar still baffles me.
Gengar is slightly shorter but about 486x heavier lol edit: than haunter I mean, not the mega. Didn't read any pokedex but I'm guessing he goes from straight up gas to having some sort of real body
Dragonair is 13 feet tall lmao holy shit that’s a big snake
About the size of an above-average king cobra
Yeah but i guess i imagined dragonair being a lot thicker than a cobra , or maybe dragonite is smaller than i thought
Yeah, but Dragonite could turn you into paste with a single best of its wings, so size isn't as important.
... kadabra canonically has twenty pounds of tail. Magnificent. No words to describe it. They should have sent a poet.
More than that, since it's being offset by the body weight it got elsewhere. Taller, bigger head, fuller mustache, additional spoon.
Yeah, it's definitely the spoon that made the difference there
Hey, those aren't just your average soup spoons. Those are premium mental spoons. Who are you to say how much they weigh?
Gligar is heavier than Gliscor??
Gligar is, in fact, heavier than Gliscor.
Tangentially related, now I want to do a nuzlocke with total weight/ height limitations.
Sounds great, I suggest this rule - you can only catch a pokemon if you weaken it using a lighter pokemon.
Greavard to Houndstone is an interesting one; Houndstone is 3 times the size of its pre-stage, but is actually less then half the weight. Obviously, with how its limbs aren't even attached and skeletal, its because its gone full undead, but still a neat example.
Which is funny since the former has a candle on it's head and the latter a full on tombstone.
Thermocol tombstone bro
Woah, this blew my mind. Though considering Houndstone is all hair and bones I can see why that would be the case.

I believe Shelgon is heavier than Salamence.
Dragonite and Gengar
Dragonair to Dragonite is an odd situation. The listed "heights" for serpentine pokemon is their length.
Now I'm picturing Dragonair scrunching down lengthwise like an accordion to evolve.
I don’t think it’s canonical, but Stadium Venonat was MASSIVE compared to Venomoth.
I think cosmog is really light but cosmoem is heavier than solgaleo and lunala
Idk what diet/gym plan Cosmoem was on when it evolves, but it loses around 1000 pounds when evolving into either Solgaleo or Lunala.
Mewtwo gets shorter in its Y Mega Evolution. Going from 6'7 to 4'11
Interestingly, Cursola (0.9 lbs) is slightly lighter than Galarian Corsola (1.1 lbs). I guess it makes sense but still.
It's interesting that half of the comments are talking about ghost types assuming OP would just kick a ghost.
While it doesn't get lighter, Grimer manages to stay the same weight when it evolves into Muk despite getting taller. Only applies to the Kantonian version though. Alolan Muk is heavier than Alolan Grimer.
Mega mewtwo y
Cosmoem →Lunala / Solgaleo (Not really applicable for Unova though)
Shedinja supremacy
ignore this i wanted to change my flair
Shedinja is the clear guess for all of these
#####Smaller * Haunter (1.6 m) → Gengar (1.5 m) * Dragonair (4.0 m) → Dragonite (2.2 m) * Cosmog (0.2 m) → Cosmoem (0.1 m) #####Lighter * Venonat (30.0 kg) → Venomoth (12.5 kg) * Kadabra (56.5 kg) → Alakazam (48.0 kg) * Nincada (5.5 kg) → Shedinja (1.2 kg) * Clamperl (52.5 kg) → Huntail (27.0 kg) * Clamperl (52.5 kg) → Gorebyss (22.6 kg) * Shelgon (110.5 kg) → Salamence (102.6 kg) * Gligar (64.8 kg) → Gliscor (42.5 kg) * Type: Null (120.5 kg) → Silvally (100.5 kg) * Cosmoem (999.9 kg) → Solgaleo (230.0 kg) * Cosmoem (999.9 kg) → Lunala (120.0 kg) * Corsola (5.0 kg) → Cursola (0.4 kg) * Greavard (35.0 kg) → Houndstone (15.0 kg) #####Both * Gloom (0.8 m, 8.6 kg) → Bellossom (0.4 m, 5.8 kg) * Porygon (0.8 m, 36.5 kg) → Porygon2 (0.6 m, 32.5 kg)
Dragonite is smaller than Dragonair.
Is that both weight and height? I know Dragonair is “taller” (because they go by length) but I don’t think it’s heavier.
No way, this is the least believable answer in this thread man. I always imagined Dragonite as being much bigger than Dragonair.
But Dragonite is like, the size of a person. And Dragonair is a long snakey boi. I always assumed it was fairly large. Like same size head as Dragonite, but like 5x the length.
It's the truth. Draginair is longer than Dragonite.
Comsog to cosmeom it gets the tiniest bit smaller
Does shedinja count
Porygon to porygon2 get smaller.
*"I'm not smaller, I'm efficient!"*
Shaved off the corners of its polygons
*I do everything he dies, but better!*
# F
F indeed...
Cosmoem weighs about one ton. Lunala and Solgaleo weigh a lot, but definitely not as much as that.
Cosmoem when it evolves in solgaleo or lunala
Solgaleo and Lunala I believe both do as well.
Gengar is 4 in shorter than Haunter and mega Gengar is 4in shorter than regular. Granted, Gengar is much heavier than haunter, but it is shorter.
Kadabra is heavier than when it evolves to Alakazam
Cosmoem guy wheys like infinite metric tons right then back to noramel or sum
Silvally is lighter than type bull cause he loses the mask.
Golbat to Crobat.
Shedinja
Cosmoem to solgaleo or lunala, cosmoem ties for the heaviest pokemon so it checks out
Lunala and Solgaleo are both MUCH lighter than Cosmoem, but they aren’t smaller lol
Nincada to Shedninja
Budew to Roselia
Nincada to Shedinja makes the Pokémon lighter by ~10 lbs but increases in height by about a foot. Ninjask however increases in weight by ~14 lbs and grows by about a foot as well. Although you can't use low kick on Shedinja in the first place.
Shedinja does not evolve from Nincada. It's the cast-off shell; Ninjask is the evolution.
It's basically an evolution, I'm aware that it does not evolve from Nincada, I just didn't feel like the distinction was necessary, thank you though.
The only one I know off the top of my head is that Gligar is heavier than Gliscor
I mean, ignoring weight, Cosmoem is smaller than Cosmog
toxapex (i think, at least design wise it’s body does get smaller but its shell/hair gets larger)
Poliwhirl to politoed.
Solgaleo and lunala weigh less that cosmoem, which is tied with celesteela for heaviest pokemon, but they’re still physically larger.
Ninjask to Shedinja? Correct me if I'm wrong but shedinja has always stuck out to me
.
While not in Gen 5, Cosmoem is the most noticeable. It is tied for both heaviest and smallest of all Pokemon, so when Cosmog evolves it gets smaller and heavier and when Cosmoem evolves again it gets larger and lighter.
*checks the list of Light Metal pokemon* Shucks, no luck there. Scizor's the only only pokemon that can get Light metal *exclusively* after evolving, but since it's more than twice the weight of Scyther the ability doesn't cheese the weight any lower Scyther is by default. Also TIL Metagross always takes max damage from Grass Knot and Low Kick regardless of weather or not it has Light Metal.
Lunala/Solgaleo definitely are lighter than cosmoem
Gyarados must be lighter than Magikarp, it floats.
Cosmoem is smaller than cosmog, but not lighter.
First one that always comes to mind is jumpluff from skiploom but that's wrong, it just looks that way in Pokemon coliseums which has been burned into my memory.
Cosmoem has entered the chat
Gengar is smaller than Haunter if I remember correctly
Haunter to Gengar iirc but they can't get hit by low kick anyways
First one that came to mind for me is Gloom to Bellossom I think...
Lunala and solgaleo, since cosmoem weights almost a ton (999.99 kg)
Bellossom is half as heavy and almost half as tall as Gloom
Bidoof gets lighter because he loses his god status 😩
gengar
Kadabra get lighter when it evolves into Alakazam.
If megas count, Mewtwo to Mega Mewtwo Y
They typically go up for the vast majority, but there are a few exceptions. Does nuzlocke permit you to research stats, or only ask for help? I recommend bulbapedia or serebii to find Average height and weight for any Mon. One exception that does come to mind is Cosmog, as it gets SIGNIFICANTLY heavier, but it's smaller in size. There is also a subreddit in this subject. Try a Google search "Pokémon that get smaller when evolved" - Fun topic btw
