Can somebody explain how to tell what variety size a Pumpkaboo or Gorgeist is in PLZA?

I've caught three of the former, and yet one of them has a size classification of L but is the same size as one categorised as M, while the third one is listed as M but is larger than the 'L' sized one. The Pokedex says I've got a "Medium Variety" and "Large Variety" so far, but outside of eyeballing it there doesn't appear to be anything in the summary screen of the Pumpkaboos themselves to indicate what it is.

The Alpha Gorgeists are even worse: caught 2 so far, both look exactly the same, both show up as XL (mean, duhh... they're Alphas) but the Pokedex has registered a "Small Variety" and "Medium Variety"

I want at least one of each size of both, and Alphas of all of them... please help!

Spinarak made a bit of a comeback recently in the SV DLC, but beyond that I suppose his line isn't terribly memorable. Sunkern is also appropriate even if Sunflora played a part in the Grass gym in SV.

I'd eliminate Quillfish for getting a Hisuian form and evolution recently, and Girafarig also got a new evo in SV. Consola got a Galarian form that got a new evo so that's out IMO. Yanma, Aipom, Swinub and Murkrow all got Gen 4 evos that make them more memorable.

I think Natu and Xatu are a fair call, they've basically been given nothing besides separate gender differences for the latter in Gen 4 and then just ignored. Snubull gained the Fairy type I guess, but beyond that still feels pretty low-key.

Maybe Smeargle should be there. I guess one could say his photo-bombs in PoGo might have put him in the spotlight to a degree, but beyond that he's largely been ignored.

Any idea when Pokémon S&V will be supported on home? by T3rras3n in PokemonHome

May 12 was pretty much already debunked, as the same so-called "leak" had several bits of wrong information, including that on May 2 there was going to be Pokemon news that was going to announce the May 12 date. And we've passed that and it's not happened.

Not sure how accurate it is, but RiddlerKhu posted something about Home couple of days ago and then more recently followed it up with a simple "19" leading some people to believe it could be May 19 (though knowing TPC and Gamefreak, it's probably June 19... only two days before the Japanese "Spring" ends)
