Only individuals who have specialized in the care or study of Moemon are likely to understand much about the Typical Anomalies that create Delta Moemon and the kind of changes they produce. As such, what information exists in this regard is generally not common knowledge. The process of becoming a Delta Moemon is largely a mystery, though it is believed to be closely tied to the manner in which Moemon Evolve. In very rare cases, a Moemon with two Types may lose one Type entirely, and have the other change to a new Type, or end up with only one Type. Moemon with more than one Type will usually only lose one of their previous Types when becoming a Delta, though in some cases both will change. As a general rule of thumb, a Delta with only one Type is most likely to gain a second Type instead of changing the Type it already has, with the exception of Normal Types, who generally lose Normal and acquire the new Type. This condition appears to be tied to the method of their reconstruction, and may affect their descendents.Īll Delta Type Moemon possess at least one Type that is different from the Norm for their Breed. Misnomer's notwithstanding, it has been noted that these types of Moemon always have the Rock Type, often replacing another Type that has been noted in Living Fossil Moemon.
Of some note are the so-called Revived Fossil Moemon. Skills, physical conditioning, and interactions with others, including humans, seem to influence this, particularly in changes to the Fighting, Dark, and Psychic Types. Specifically, the conditions it survives in and the actions it takes to survive may influence this, including the individuals mood and personality. The second method which seems to produce Typical Anomalies has to do with the way the Moemon lives. Beyond climate and weather, the presence of certain geological, botanical, and dietary factors may influence this as well. The amount of time this takes is unclear, but it is believed that this can be achieved by a single individual. This means that a Normal Type Moemon that moves to an arctic climate may gain the Ice Type, while one that moves to a volcanic region may gain the Fire Type instead. The current theory holds that Moemon, who have a mutable genetic makeup, will adapt to the demands of their environment if they reside in the area for a sufficient amount of time. The first condition that seems to influence Type appears to be the conditions of the environment. Studies have eventually led researchers to believe that there are two primary factors in producing Typical Anomalies, and therefore Delta Moemon. However, other Typical Anomalies were observed, such as Water, Normal, and even Grass. Many of the Moemon in that region were found to have unusual types, particularly Electric, Steel, Fighting, Dark, and Psychic.
The Delta phenomenon was first recorded during explorations into the Holon Region, an area rife with unusual electromagnetic storms and similar events, as well as strange crystal formations. The exact conditions which produce a given Type of Delta vary dramatically. For example, a Pikachu that lost its Electric Type and became a Psychic Type instead will no longer be able to learn Electric Type Moves except through Machines, but will be able to acquire Psychic Moves. It should be noted that, while a Moemon who has undergone a Typical Anomaly retains the Moves it knew before the change, it can no longer acquire Moves of a Type it does not qualify for naturally. Further, Delta Moemon often have unusual personalities for their Breeds, reflecting the influence of their new Type.
Many Deltas have different Special Abilities than are commonly found in their Breed. Specifically, a Delta Moemon is a member of a Breed who has a different Type or Types from the norm of its kind.ĭelta Moemon often learn Moves and have slightly different physical capacities from the norm of their kind. 1 Differences Between Delta Moemon and Common Moemonĭifferences Between Delta Moemon and Common Moemon ĭelta Moemon are Moemon who have, for one reason or another, developed a Typical Anomaly.
