# Get pokemon form

`GET /api/v2/pokemon-form/{id}/`

Some Pokémon may appear in one of multiple, visually different forms. These differences are purely cosmetic. For variations within a Pokémon species, which do differ in more than just visuals, the 'Pokémon' entity is used to represent such a variety.
