It can be hard to keep track of over 1,000 Pokémon in the franchise, but even the Pokémon Go developers at Niantic seem to have mixed up the details about Stantler and its evolution, Wyrdeer, as pointed out by Serebii’s webmaster, Joe Merrick.
Merrick shared a screenshot of Stantler’s Pokédex information in Pokémon Go on Dec. 3, with something looking a little off in the evolution section. Before Gen VIII, Stantler didn’t have an evolution. But when Legends: Arceus came around, they finally gave Stantler the glow-up it deserved with a new evolution tied to Hisui—Wyrdeer. Pokémon Go labels Stantler’s evolution into Wyrdeer as a “Hisuian form,” which may sound correct at first, considering Stantler needs to be in Hisui to evolve as one of its requirements in the mainline games. However, a Hisui-exclusive evolution isn’t always the same as a Hisuian form.
