Quick question
Why are the Meowstic line considered the same pokemon and have the same dex number?
its just that nidoran has seperate moves and a different appearance depending on gender, it also has a different dex number for each one.
volbeat and illumise are essentially the same pokemon, but defined by gender so each has a different appearance, moveset and their own dex number.
I'm just curious as to why meowstic has the same scenario as the other pokemon listed but is still considered as the same pokemon with the same dex number.
