A '''regional variant''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form'') is a [[Pokémon (species)|species]] of Pokémon found in a specific [[region]] that takes on a different form than it does in most other regions. These Pokémon have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, and [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]].

A '''regional form''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''region form''), also known as a '''regional variant''', is an alternate [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] of a Pokémon [[Pokémon (species)|species]] that is found in a specific [[region]]. These forms differ from those found in the region where the Pokémon was introduced — even, in most cases so far, to the point of having a different [[type]].


==Alola==
The following regional forms are currently known:
In the [[Alola]] region, a species' regional variant is referred to as its Alola Form (Japanese: '''アローラのすがた''' ''Alola form''). A Pokémon in its Alola Form is described as Alolan — for example, Exeggutor in its Alola Form is referred to as Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] have Alola Forms.
* [[Alolan form]] in [[Alola]].
* [[Galarian form]] in [[Galar]].
* [[Hisuian form]] in [[Hisui]].
* [[Paldean form]] in [[Paldea]].

54 Pokémon currently have regional forms, and 57 regional forms currently exist in total (55 and 58, respectively, if White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} is counted as a regional form). Apart from {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Tauros}}, which have two and three respectively, each Pokémon with a regional form has only one.

In [[Generation VII]], they were introduced as '''regional variants''', which is also mentioned in some [[Pokémon GO]] [[Community Day]] events from 2023. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, they have been consistently known as '''regional forms''' in the core series games.

! Type
The place name adjective (such as "Alolan") is used before the Pokémon species. In running text, both the original form and the new regional forms are sometimes treated this way, such as "Kantonian {{p|Meowth}}" and "Alolan {{p|Meowth}}". Conversely, sometimes the Pokémon species are simply mentioned in running text without using the regional adjective. For instance, if the player encounters a wild Galarian {{p|Meowth}}, the battle dialogue would simply indicate "You encountered a wild {{p|Meowth}}!"

! Image
In [[Generation VII]] games, the [[Pokédex]] displays "Alola Form" as the title of this form. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards (including in [[Pokémon HOME]]), the adjectives for the place names are consistently used instead. For instance, "Alolan Form", "Galarian Form", "Hisuian Form", and "Paldean Form". The original form (such as Kantonian Meowth) is not named in the Pokédex.
! Type
 
! Ability
In running text (as seen on [[Pokémon.com]]), the word "form" has been consistently written in lowercase. In the [[Generation VII]] era, this used to be "Alola form". From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, this includes "Kantonian form", "Alolan form", "Galarian form", etc.

==In the core series games==
In the [[Alola]], [[Galar]], [[Hisui]], and [[Paldea]] regions, certain Pokémon species have regional forms.
Pokémon with regional forms have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]]. This is analogous to a form of real-world {{wp|evolution}} known as {{wp|peripatric speciation}}, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develops unique traits and may eventually evolve into a new species.
When {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring have a regional form, the offspring will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which it was bred, regardless of its parents' forms. However, if one of the parents of the same evolutionary family held an [[Everstone]] when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent. This does not apply to White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} and {{p|Basculegion}}, which always produce White-Striped Basculin—regardless of region or held Everstones—when they are the mother or non-{{p|Ditto}} parent. If the parents are the same species but different forms and in different balls, then the offspring has a 50 percent chance of inheriting either parent's ball regardless of what form the offspring takes.
If a Kantonian Tauros is bred in Paldea and is not holding an Everstone, then the resulting offspring will always be Combat Breed Paldean Tauros and never the Blaze Breed or Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros.
If a Pokémon without a regional form evolves into a Pokémon with a regional form, it will evolve into the form native to the region it is currently in.
Regional forms introduced from [[Generation VIII]] onward may have an evolution that their regular form does not have, or evolve into a different species than the regular form, becoming something similar to a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolution]].
==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Alolan Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor appear as Pokémon that can appear from [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball]]s in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Alolan form|section=Pokémon Shuffle}}
[[Alolan form]]s appear in [[Pokémon Shuffle]].
===Pokémon GO===
:''For a list of the regional forms, see [[Alolan form#Pokémon GO|Alolan form → Pokémon GO]], [[Galarian form#Pokémon GO|Galarian form → Pokémon GO]], [[Hisuian form#Pokémon GO|Hisuian form → Pokémon GO]], and [[Paldean form#Pokémon GO|Paldean form → Pokémon GO]]''
In [[Pokémon GO]], they are [[Terminology of regional forms#Pokémon GO|referred to in the game dialogue]] as '''regional variants'''. They often have special requirements to be obtained as opposed to simply encountering them in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.
[[Alola]]n Pokémon first appeared in Pokémon GO on May 30, 2018, with the appearance of Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Initially, Alolan Pokémon were exclusive to [[List of Eggs (GO)|7 km Eggs]] and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, but have occasionally reappeared in the wild since their debuts.
[[Galar]]ian Pokémon first appeared on November 16, 2019, with the appearance of Galarian {{p|Weezing}}.
[[Hisui]]an Pokémon first appeared on January 30, 2022, with the appearance of Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}}.
[[Paldea]]n Pokémon first appeared on November 5, 2023, with the appearance of Paldean {{p|Wooper}}.
===Pokémon Duel===
{{main|Alolan form|section=Pokémon Duel}}
Certain Alolan forms were included in [[Pokémon Duel]].

Regional forms are featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, and Paldean Pokémon. These Pokémon have the adjective for their region printed in smaller font as part of their card name. Evolutions exclusive to regional forms are referred to with the same descriptors used for their pre-evolutions (for example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their evolutions).
Notably, Alolan form cards brought the return of {{TCG|Attack}}s that cost zero {{TCG|Energy}} to use, a mechanic that was previously only seen during the TCG's [[Generation IV]] sets and had remained exclusive to cards featuring either Alolan forms or Hisuian forms until the Scarlet & Violet Series, where they are also seen on [[baby Pokémon]] cards.
Some cards care about if a Pokémon is a specific regional form. These cards check the card name for the relevant descriptor. For example, {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Aether Foundation Employee|168}} looks for "Pokémon that have 'Alolan' in their names".

===δ Delta Species===
{{main|δ Delta Species (TCG)}}
[[File:PikachuEXHolonPhantoms79.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A {{TCG|Metal}} type {{p|Pikachu}}]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced Delta Species Pokémon in [[Generation III]]. Like regional forms, these Pokémon would undergo a type change, but their appearance would stay generally the same. The backstory of {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} states that these changes were not due to natural adaptation but rather a mutation brought on by exposure to electromagnetic waves.
This seems to be an exclusive phenomenon on the island of [[Holon]], the aforementioned waves a product of experiments by scientists in the area searching for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Delta Species Pokémon appeared in the TCG from {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} to {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}}.

{{main|Ursaluna (Pokémon)}}
Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a specific Ursaluna with a unique form is found in the [[Timeless Woods]] at the land of [[Kitakami]], has a similar concept to the regional forms, being a Pokémon that moved away from their original region and adapted to the new different environment, but instead of changing types, it kept its original ones and gained special powers such as {{m|Blood Moon}} and {{a|Mind's Eye}}.

==Trivia==
* The only [[type]] not possessed by any regional form is {{t|Bug}}.
** Additionally, there are no {{type|Flying}} regional forms that were not already that type in their original form.
* {{t|Dark}} is the most common type among regional forms, with 11, while {{t|Water}}, {{t|Dragon}}, and {{t|Fairy}} are tied for the least common type, with only 3 regional forms each.
* Out of the generations that introduced Pokémon that would later have regional forms, [[Generation I]] introduced the most, at 33, while [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, at one.
** Generations {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|VIII}}, and {{gen|IX}} are the only generations to not introduce any Pokémon that have regional forms.
* Out of the generations that introduced regional forms, Generation VIII introduced the most, with 36, while Generation IX introduced the fewest, with four (or only two if all three {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Tauros|Paldean Tauros breeds}} are counted as a single regional form).
* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only [[core series]] games following the introduction of regional forms to not feature them.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only core series game in which a regional form exists but its respective original form does not.
** The only regional forms in the game whose original forms are also present are {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Vulpix}}.
* According to the [[Pokédex]], researchers initially believed {{p|Wiglett}} and {{p|Wugtrio}} to be regional forms of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, respectively, before concluding they were [[Ecologically similar Pokémon|separate species entirely]].

Latest revision as of 19:43, 3 March 2024

A regional form (Japanese: リージョンフォーム region form), also known as a regional variant, is an alternate form of a Pokémon species that is found in a specific region. These forms differ from those found in the region where the Pokémon was introduced — even, in most cases so far, to the point of having a different type.

The following regional forms are currently known:

54 Pokémon currently have regional forms, and 57 regional forms currently exist in total (55 and 58, respectively, if White-Striped Basculin is counted as a regional form). Apart from Meowth and Tauros, which have two and three respectively, each Pokémon with a regional form has only one.

Terminology

Main article: Terminology of regional forms

In Generation VII, they were introduced as regional variants, which is also mentioned in some Pokémon GO Community Day events from 2023. From Generation VIII onwards, they have been consistently known as regional forms in the core series games.

The place name adjective (such as "Alolan") is used before the Pokémon species. In running text, both the original form and the new regional forms are sometimes treated this way, such as "Kantonian Meowth" and "Alolan Meowth". Conversely, sometimes the Pokémon species are simply mentioned in running text without using the regional adjective. For instance, if the player encounters a wild Galarian Meowth, the battle dialogue would simply indicate "You encountered a wild Meowth!"

In Generation VII games, the Pokédex displays "Alola Form" as the title of this form. From Generation VIII onwards (including in Pokémon HOME), the adjectives for the place names are consistently used instead. For instance, "Alolan Form", "Galarian Form", "Hisuian Form", and "Paldean Form". The original form (such as Kantonian Meowth) is not named in the Pokédex.

In running text (as seen on Pokémon.com), the word "form" has been consistently written in lowercase. In the Generation VII era, this used to be "Alola form". From Generation VIII onwards, this includes "Kantonian form", "Alolan form", "Galarian form", etc.

In the core series games

In the Alola, Galar, Hisui, and Paldea regions, certain Pokémon species have regional forms.

Pokémon with regional forms have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the world. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their type, moves, Abilities, base stats, height, and weight. This is analogous to a form of real-world evolution known as peripatric speciation, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develops unique traits and may eventually evolve into a new species.

When breeding Pokémon whose offspring have a regional form, the offspring will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which it was bred, regardless of its parents' forms. However, if one of the parents of the same evolutionary family held an Everstone when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent. This does not apply to White-Striped Basculin and Basculegion, which always produce White-Striped Basculin—regardless of region or held Everstones—when they are the mother or non-Ditto parent. If the parents are the same species but different forms and in different balls, then the offspring has a 50 percent chance of inheriting either parent's ball regardless of what form the offspring takes.

If a Kantonian Tauros is bred in Paldea and is not holding an Everstone, then the resulting offspring will always be Combat Breed Paldean Tauros and never the Blaze Breed or Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros.

If a Pokémon without a regional form evolves into a Pokémon with a regional form, it will evolve into the form native to the region it is currently in.

Regional forms introduced from Generation VIII onward may have an evolution that their regular form does not have, or evolve into a different species than the regular form, becoming something similar to a branched evolution.

In the TCG

Main articles: Alolan form → In the TCG, Galarian form → In the TCG, Hisuian form → In the TCG, and Paldean form → In the TCG

Regional forms are featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, and Paldean Pokémon. These Pokémon have the adjective for their region printed in smaller font as part of their card name. Evolutions exclusive to regional forms are referred to with the same descriptors used for their pre-evolutions (for example, "Galarian" is used as a descriptor for both Galarian form Pokémon and their evolutions).

Notably, Alolan form cards brought the return of Attacks that cost zero Energy to use, a mechanic that was previously only seen during the TCG's Generation IV sets and had remained exclusive to cards featuring either Alolan forms or Hisuian forms until the Scarlet & Violet Series, where they are also seen on baby Pokémon cards.

Some cards care about if a Pokémon is a specific regional form. These cards check the card name for the relevant descriptor. For example, Aether Foundation Employee looks for "Pokémon that have 'Alolan' in their names".

Variant Pokémon

Main article: Variant Pokémon
A Valencia Island Butterfree

Prior to Generation VII, there were already certain Pokémon that had variations depending on their native geographical area, but, unlike regional forms, these Pokémon do not appear to have any functional difference from their original forms; rather, their differences are purely aesthetic, with their type, moves, Abilities, height, and weight remaining the same.

δ Delta Species

Main article: δ Delta Species (TCG)
A Metal type Pikachu

The Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced Delta Species Pokémon in Generation III. Like regional forms, these Pokémon would undergo a type change, but their appearance would stay generally the same. The backstory of EX Delta Species states that these changes were not due to natural adaptation but rather a mutation brought on by exposure to electromagnetic waves.

This seems to be an exclusive phenomenon on the island of Holon, the aforementioned waves a product of experiments by scientists in the area searching for the Mythical Pokémon Mew. Delta Species Pokémon appeared in the TCG from EX Delta Species to EX Dragon Frontiers.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna

Main article: Ursaluna (Pokémon)

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a specific Ursaluna with a unique form is found in the Timeless Woods at the land of Kitakami, has a similar concept to the regional forms, being a Pokémon that moved away from their original region and adapted to the new different environment, but instead of changing types, it kept its original ones and gained special powers such as Blood Moon and Mind's Eye.

Trivia

  • The only type not possessed by any regional form is Bug.
    • Additionally, there are no Flying-type regional forms that were not already that type in their original form.
  • Dark is the most common type among regional forms, with 11, while Water, Dragon, and Fairy are tied for the least common type, with only 3 regional forms each.
  • Out of the generations that introduced Pokémon that would later have regional forms, Generation I introduced the most, at 33, while Generation VII introduced the fewest, at one.
    • Generations IV, VIII, and IX are the only generations to not introduce any Pokémon that have regional forms.
  • Out of the generations that introduced regional forms, Generation VIII introduced the most, with 36, while Generation IX introduced the fewest, with four (or only two if all three Paldean Tauros breeds are counted as a single regional form).
  • Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the only core series games following the introduction of regional forms to not feature them.
  • Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only core series game in which a regional form exists but its respective original form does not.
    • The only regional forms in the game whose original forms are also present are Sneasel and Vulpix.
  • According to the Pokédex, researchers initially believed Wiglett and Wugtrio to be regional forms of Diglett and Dugtrio, respectively, before concluding they were separate species entirely.
