Description[]
Alpha Tanorians are Tanorians that are much larger in size and possess a red icon on the right side of their summary screen denoting this. This size difference is noticeable both in battle and in the overworld. There does not appear to be any other benefit to a Tanorian other than its size when it possesses this rare trait.
Obtainment Methods[]
Contrary to popular belief, not all Tanorians can be Alphas. A lot of areas have their own one specific Tanorian that can become an Alpha, with the exception of Alpha Grove and its sublocations as well as Haunted Realm and Winterfest where all Tanorians can be Alphas.
Catchable Alpha Tanorians[]
Note that this list might be incomplete. It also doesn't include Tanorians that can be caught in Alpha Grove or Haunted Realm since all Tanorians can be alphas there.

Infecteds[]
Upon reaching Alpha Lab, there is a scientist who tells the player that Alpha Tanorians are ending up "infected," and asks the player to bring them a sample by capturing one. While the Aura Quest is active, Alpha Tanorians encountered in the wild will have a boosted chance of having one of the Infected auras.
