One thing I've noticed is that, unless you count fusion, which I don't think is related, Pearl is so far the only Gem who hasn't been shown to transform, 40 episodes in. Amethyst is shown to transform constantly, and even Garnet has transformed for Steven tag and in Secret Team. However, Pearl, the skillful, strategic, elegant fighter who can definitely make use of the ability, hasn't been shown to transform at all. Though it's also possible she personally just has something against transformation, and chooses not to.
