>changes form when it reaches a certain level

>not an evolution

I get it, it's not a different pokemon technically, but it's still an odd way for the form to activate. I hope its next form is strong enough to be worth taking up an ability slot

Wait so does that mean that skill nullifying moves will make it revert back to its single fishy form?

I like it conceptually, even the fact that if it loses its ability it (presumably) reverts back to the tiny fish.

We'll have to see how it works in practice, but it'll definitely have a place on my in game team from style alone.

How is this thing not an evolution when Dugtrio and Magneton are.

No. Other form changing abilities like Multitype and Stance Change cannot be nullified by any means either.

Well, presumably its ability activates at the beginning of battle once it has reached a certain level, in a manner similar to Intimidate or the weather summoning abilities. Is it even possible to prevent that?

Things that suppress abilities like Gastro Acid etc.

This is all just conjecture for now though, but thats how I'd imagine it'd work.

Gastro Acid and other shit.

This seems to work like Primal Reversion except without an item.

It seems like it's functionally an evolution but with some benefits and downsides, like not having another ability.

If that is the case, why even make it an ability? I don't really see the point of a power up form that activates automatically. What's the point of having a pokemon that is weak but immediately becomes stronger at the beginning of the battle if you don't get a chance to prevent that. Would'nt it make more sense to just have him be strong by default?

My interpretation is that it's made up of a school of tiny, wimpy fish who scatter at the first sign of trouble.

So I guess moves like Gastro Acid really freak it out and makes it revert to its original form.

Would it be similar to Zygarde's ability?

It changes form at the beginning of battle, not at half health like Zygarde.

Because it's cool. It might justify giving it really good stats and moves since it doesn't have a real ability, and it's suppressable.
