Pokémon Forms Collection

Regional Forms

Explore every Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian and Paldean form, compare their types, and see how regional variants change across the Pokémon world.

Regional Evolutions are tracked separately, so the main total includes forms that share a National Pokédex number with an existing Pokémon rather than newly evolved species.

What Are Regional Forms?

Regional Forms are adapted versions of existing Pokémon associated with a particular region. They keep the original species' National Pokédex number but can have a different appearance, type combination, Ability profile or evolution path.

Regional adaptation

Climate, habitat and regional history are used to explain why these Pokémon differ from their better-known forms. The result can range from a small typing adjustment to a completely different defensive profile.

One species and Pokédex number

A Regional Form is still a form of its base species. Alolan Raichu, for example, shares National Pokédex number 0026 with Raichu even though its appearance and typing differ.

Forms and evolutions are different

Some regional forms remain within the same evolution family, while others evolve into a newly named species. Those new species are listed separately as Regional Evolutions and are not added to the Regional Forms total.

What this page excludes

Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, Primal Reversion, costume forms, gender differences, battle-only transformations, Shiny coloration and unrelated alternate formes are outside this list.

Regional forms can replace every base type, retain one type while changing another, add a second type or keep the same typing while changing another part of the form.

Regional Forms by Region

Alolan Forms

18 regional forms

Alola introduced Regional Forms as a recurring main-series concept. Its variants adapt familiar Pokémon to the islands' climate, habitats and culture.

Form debut: Generation VII in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Alolan families include complete regional evolution lines as well as single final-stage forms such as Alolan Raichu, Exeggutor and Marowak.

Galarian Forms

19 regional forms

Galar expanded the concept with new type combinations and several forms that evolve into newly named species.

Form debut: Generation VIII in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.

Perrserker, Sirfetch'd, Mr. Rime, Cursola, Runerigus and Obstagoon are Regional Evolutions, so they are listed in a separate section rather than counted as Galarian Forms.

Hisuian Forms

17 regional forms

Hisui's regional forms represent Pokémon adapted to the region's older environment and history, often with substantial type and ecological differences.

Form debut: Generation VIII in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

White-Striped Form Basculin is grouped with Hisui because its Legends: Arceus Pokédex entry explicitly categorizes it as a regional form, even though its formal name is not “Hisuian Basculin.”

Paldean Forms

4 regional forms

Paldea has a compact regional-form group centered on Paldean Wooper and the three distinct breeds of Paldean Tauros.

Form debut: Generation IX in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

Combat Breed, Blaze Breed and Aqua Breed Tauros are separate regional form records with different type combinations; they are not collapsed into one generic Paldean Tauros entry.

Regional Evolutions

Regional Evolutions are newly named Pokémon species connected to a region-specific evolution path. Most below evolve from a Regional Form; a smaller Hisui group evolves from an existing standard form through a regional method.

These entries have their own National Pokédex numbers and are not included in the Regional Forms total.

Evolutions from Regional Forms

These species evolve directly from a Regional Form and receive their own National Pokédex number.

New Evolutions Introduced in Hisui

Wyrdeer, Kleavor and Ursaluna evolve from established standard forms through methods introduced in Hisui. They are regional-method evolutions, not Regional Forms.

Regional Form Type Changes

The figures below are calculated from the current Regional Forms list by comparing each form's defensive typing with its base species.

Forms with completely different typing
20 forms
Forms with the same typing

Forms retaining and changing part of their typing

A matching type combination does not mean the form is identical; appearance, evolution access or other species data can still differ.

Counts update automatically when the underlying form data changes.
