Talk Group

Talk Groups are used to determine the dialogue an allied Pokémon will use within dungeons and Spinda's Café. The group used by each Pokémon ID can be seen in their General tabs, and the dialogue strings can be seen by double clicking on the main Pokémon drop-down and selecting the Personality Groups tab.

In the base game's context, many Pokémon species are assigned to multiple groups based on gender and form. This is particularly noticeable for Castform, which uses a total of 6 different groups across all of its Pokémon IDs. A searchable Pokémon list can be found on the Bulbapedia page on the subject.

Many of these groups received official names, but only in Japanese through an official guidebook for Explorers of Time and Darkness.

Keep in mind the notes only reflect how the groups are used in the base game.
