Subtype polymorphism is also known as runtime polymorphism.
Parametric polymorphism is also known as compile-time polymorphism.
Ad-hoc polymorphism is also known as overloading.
Coercion is also known as (implicit or explicit) casting.

The Four Polymorphisms in C++.
When people talk about polymorphism in C++ they usually mean the thing of using a derived class through the base class pointer or reference, which is called subtype polymorphism. But they often forget that there are all kinds of other polymorphisms in C++, such as parametric polymorphism, ad-hoc polymorphism and coercion polymorphism.
These polymorphisms also go by different names in C++,
Subtype polymorphism is also known as runtime polymorphism.
Parametric polymorphism is also known as compile-time polymorphism.
Ad-hoc polymorphism is also known as overloading.
Coercion is also known as (implicit or explicit) casting.
Ad-hoc polymorphism allows functions with the same name act differently for each type. For example, given two 'int' values and the '+' operator, it adds them together. Given two 'std::strings' it concatenates them together. This is called overloading.

I am unable to find any material related to pseudo polymorphism(no definition, nothing at all). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ad hoc polymorphism is also known as operator overloading.
Ad hoc polymorphism is a specific case of polymorphism, where different operators have different implementations depending on their arguments.

As polymorphism has of 2 types, then ad-hoc polymorphism, pseudo polymorphism, Transient polymorphism work at compile time or run time ?

Pseudo Polymorphism is function overriding in derived class.

Ab-hoc polymorphism is also a operator overloading or not?
