You can see Porygon2 scanning Mightyena and Vulpix. Patch's Pokedex responds, with full information on Alolan Vulpix.

(The book's description specifies Defense and not Vitality, so I think it's a little different than the handheld games. Also means its HP doesn't go up.)

Mightyena gusts some sand into Rhyperior's tiny eyes.

"It's two upgraded Pokemon remaining in the battlefield! My Porygon2 has been under my tutelage for quite some time now...I think you'll find he has more upgrades than your new Vulpix! But Vulpix is very good in battle already."
"Oh, and will you tell me about your Mightyena now that it's out of the battle?
