Baby Pokémon, also known as baby forms or Pokémonlings, are the infant stage of many iconic species in the Pokémon franchise. Designed with adorable proportions, simplified features, and playful expressions, these mini-creatures retain the signature traits of their adult forms—such as Cutechuck’s sparkle or Litsuki’s gentle smile—but in a gentler, more endearing package.
