There are appliances for switching forms in a secret room in the Team Galactic Eterna Building or the Silph Co. Office Building; the room in the Galactic Building requires a [Secret Key]{item}, but the room in Silph Co. is freely accessible when walking with Rotom. Rotom can be returned to its normal form by checking the space its appliance occupied. It also reverts to its normal form upon entering the Wi-Fi Club or the Union Room.
12	487	9	Forme	Forms have different stats. Giratina transforms into Origin Forme in the [Distortion World]{location} or while holding a [Griseous Orb]{item}. Otherwise, it assumes its Altered Forme. The Griseous Orb returns to the bag upon entering the Wi-Fi Club or the Union Room.

It is limited to Land Forme at night, when [frozen]{mechanic}, in the storage system boxes, in the Wi-Fi Club, and in the Union Room; under these conditions, Sky Shaymin reverts to Land Forme, and the Gracidea has no effect. The Gracidea must be used again to return to Sky Forme.
