You reach Wineberry Town in the late evening.

The Genesect statue is as you left it.

"Pinsir made a full recovery. No one came for him in three days, until a shelter for disobedient Pokemon sent someone to pick him up and adopt him. As far as I know, he's still there, in Stair City."

Wineberry's library isn't huge, but it does have a few references to Holon (which is both a city and a small region, much smaller than Creshire). At the heart of the region is a huge electromagnetic generator, which is somehow supposed to help locate a Mew. Apparently without success; this book at least does not mention any success, though it is somewhat out of date.

This electromagnetic force is the cause of Holon's Delta species. It's a sort of mutation, not at all related to evolution. This book comments that such forces are an affront to the natural power of Pokemon, in a way that an Evolutionary Stone is not, or a Porygon is not. Many Deltas from Holon are Steel Type, and the changes to the Pokemon's appearance are often minimal.

Unlike Houndour.

Since then, the term Delta has come to loosely apply to any species of Pokemon mutated beyond its common form. These are often just the result of genetic drift - it's natural, and inheritable. Isolation often plays a role. There's nothing less pure about them, unless some kind of experiment or unnatural force caused the drift.

Porygon2 also assists, trawling parts of the PC that are not easily accessible to users. He can't break through encryption without a bigger fight than this, or speedily plunder protected files, but he can steer his way into files that are simply not linked from anywhere. One such file mentions Delta Pokemon on only one line.

It's a file from the released Almanac electronic book/database. The page is concerned with unusual move combinations, as many pages of the Almanac seem to be - egg moves, TMs, that kind of thing. So it would basically list of the "?" moves in the Pokerole rules doc. This particular page only has unusual moves that you've already guessed, and then it includes this line:

Code:

Delta Pokemon are an overlooked source of unusual Pokemon moves. Scientists are currently researching what effects breeding might have on Delta Pokemon movelists.
