Does Keckleon’s ability to change type rapidly make it more valuable for scientists researching how certain types of Pokémon react to stimuli?

You would think so, but kecleon’s often capricious nature makes them rather difficult subjects. Furthermore, triggering its special ability requires constant bombardment with attacks of the target element, as this is the best way to expose kecleon to an element thoroughly enough for it to change its alignment. It’s simply more reliable to use a pokémon whose type is verified to be the target on a consistent basis. 

That and constantly attacking a pokémon repeatedly before subjecting it to further testing tends to be frowned upon by most ethics committees.

Kecleon
The Color Swap Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 352
Entry: A large, chameleon-like pokémon native to the jungles of Hoenn. According to songs used far too often in the drunken karaoke bars of Sinnoh, kecleon “come and go, come and go.” Furthermore, “loving one would be easy if their colors were like my dream: red, gold, and green; red, gold, and green.”

Bill, first, I am certain we don’t have the rights to that song, not that most people would know it anyway. Second, stop. —LH
