About its forms: Forms only affect appearance. Deerling switches forms to match the season if it is in the party upon loading the game. If the season has changed since the game was saved, and the game was saved indoors, the previous save’s season will be displayed upon loading the game, and Deerling will change according to that season. Upon stepping outdoors, the change of season is displayed and Deerling will change again.
Their coloring changes according to the seasons and can be slightly affected by the temperature and humidity as well.
