[up][up][up]Now that I think about it, Pearl is probaby the only Crystal gem who has never shapshifted in any way in the show. Though I doubt its because she cant she just never really wanted to.

[up][up]This was mentioned back in the Summer 2014 AMA, but the statement was vague as to if Pearl was capable of shapeshifting at all.

[up][up][up] Really cool

Looks like a lot of people on soundcloud are doing covers of that song. That's also really cool.

I'm actually wandering if Pearl teaches Peridot shape-shifting.

Amethyst had no useful advice for shapeshifting because it came so natural to her, but Pearl wouldn't be any better if she never figured out how to either.

Haven't we seen Pearl shapeshift early on? I feel like we have.

Anyhow, Since she was made before the resource crunch she probably can shapeshift but as she indicated in Secret Team she can't do it unless she can focus. It's not that pearl can't, it's that it's not her thing. She can probably shift fine but something about her character just isn't built for it.

Pearl has NEVER shapeshifted. Not even once. In Cat Fingers she claims that she can since, "all gems can shapeshift." At least she started to say it, but Amethyst cuts her off.

I would guess she can, but so badly that she's too embarrassed to try.

She can change her outfit appearance...that's probably not apart of shape-shifting though.

She probably just doesn't feel like doing it.

Pearl feels she's rather rigid in some respects - probably not ideal for a shapeshifter.

Oh my God, I actually did it.

I made it to the end of the thread! And it only took me roughly three months!

And now I get to sit through a Lars episode with the rest of youse folks! What a reward.

I always figured it's because she takes "be true to yourself" very literally. Pearl has the most costume changes in the show, but they're always secondary to the person in them.

(Or she had her "just tell me what you want to be Rose!" moment a few thousand years in the past already.)

@Ms Ami Classified It can always be worse for me. I could still be trying to make my way through the Touhou thread. On an unrelated note,

She probably cut Pearl off since they weren't sure if Steven could shapeshift at the time, because he's part human, and they didn't know for sure in his case.

[up]There's a commercial that calls that a "show hole".
