Issues with species' profiles

If one or some members of a species gets a higher tier than what the regular ones have, sometimes the profile for the species themselves doesn't make mension of this at all.

Some profiles do make mension of this extraordinary individuals, the problem is in those who don't.

Just to give an example, here's Lucario, and here is a Multiversal Lucario with Infinite speed.

The other issue I wanna to present goes the other way around, weaker versions of members of a species don't usually get to be in the page of the species themselves (pretty much never). I would say that either we show both the weakest & strongest or we don't show both, only the regular members. Obviously the latter option isn't reasonable.
 
Depends on the profile's structure/intent.

Pokémon profiles just lists your "average" mon and doesn't bother with specific examples. Usually, profiles that lists strong member of a species only do so when it's a specific class of the species that is stronger or if the species is treated more like a whole (like a Civilization) rather than just a species, like the Tyranids.

Then I believe this should be specified in some way to avoid profiles like those to not give the misleading impression that that's just the peak or weakest state/tier a member of the species can have.

Currently, do we have a way to notice this? Beyond seeing if the profile only has one tier, which is not enough.
