>>33931698>trusting some random schmuck who writes their social media posts as a literal sourceThe pokemon was made by aether foundation, i don't see any reason to call it a legendary over say a porygon or castform which were also made by humans. They didn't even use mythical/legendary pokemon dna to make type:null/full like they did with mewtwo.
>>33931702All of these are explained by the helmet being removed:
>gains height and loses weightIt's mane flares up without the restrictive band around it, making it taller.
>new moves from level up/tmIt gains access to it's mouth and whatever the mane thing is supposed to do, of course it has access to more moves now.
>new abilityIt's able to access the RKS system memories that the helmet inhibits.
>increase in statsOnly in speed which is explained by the helmet being heavy as fug, restricting it's vision etc.
>mane changes from grey to whiteParts of the mane also change color with the memories which the helmet inhibits. Would make sense for it to be 'deactivated' with the helmet on.
Don't be a dummy, it's a permanent form change so they made it an 'evolution' in game because that's how the game handles permanent form changes.
