- #1Regional formselective
Keys: Regional form
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 other regions, usually even to the point of having a different type. Some regional forms also have different Evolutions to their counterparts from other regions. Four regions are currently known to have their own regional forms: Alolan forms in Alola. Galarian forms in Galar. Hisuian forms in Hisui. Paldean forms in Paldea. 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.
- #2Alolan Rattataselective
Keys: Alolan Rattata
Due to territory disputes with the Yungoos line, Rattata has taken on a new appearance. It has dark gray fur and grayish-purple ear insides. There are two tufts of fur on each ear and near the tip of its tail. Its long, thin whiskers are also replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth. Unlike its Kantonian form, it often stands on its hind legs, giving it a more bipedal appearance. Rattata are non-native to Alola and arrived in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until Yungoos and Gumshoos were imported as a control measure. In order to avoid these new predators, Rattata altered its habits. It moved to more urban areas, became nocturnal, and formed large nests led by Raticate.[2] Each nest has an Alolan Raticate serving as their boss. Type: Dark,Normal Abilities: Gluttony,Hustle,Thick Fat Evolution Conditions: Level 20 or higher at night Evolution: Alolan Raticate
- #3Alolan Raticateselective
Keys: Alolan Raticate
In Alola, Raticate has become heavier and darker due to its urban environment and higher calorie diet.[2] Its fur is mostly black with a brown, leaf-shaped patch on its belly and brown inside its ears. Its hands, feet, cheeks, and tail are a whitish-cream color, and its hands are much smaller. It has large, puffy cheeks with four whiskers under its chin and two sprouting sideways from the top of each cheek. Its large incisors are still visible, but its eyes are now red. This variant uses its nest as a food stockpile, and generally prefers to have the Alolan Rattata it commands to go out and forage for food while it remains in its nest and eats. It is selective in what it eats, however, only eating fresh, high-quality foods, such as fruits. Rumor has it that a certain high-class restaurant even exploits this selectivity, bringing Raticate along to buy ingredients and letting it taste test new dishes. Each Alolan Raticate has its own territory, and disputes over food and feeding grounds happen frequently. Alolan Raticate and Rattata are not native to Alola, having been brought to the region via cargo ships. Their populations grew drastically until Yungoos and Gumshoos were imported as a control measure. A special Alolan Raticate in Alola acts as the Totem Pokémon for Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern. This Raticate possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Raticate and completing the trial is a Normalium Z (in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, it is a Darkinium Z instead). Type: Dark,Normal Abilities: Gluttony,Hustle,Thick Fat
- #4Alolan Raichuselective
Keys: Alolan Raichu
In Alola, Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a surfboard and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities. Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes, especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the Alola region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name hodad. While normally found in Alola, it has been seen in the Coastal Biome of the Terarium during rare mass outbreak events. Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Stoked Sparksurfer. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Surge Surfer as an Ability. Type: Electric,Psychic Abilities: Surge Surfer
- #5Alolan Sandshrewselective
Keys: Alolan Sandshrew
In the Alola region, Sandshrew migrated to snowy mountains due to the volcanic activity near the desert areas. Its body is a light, icy blue, with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Thicker plates form a dome around its head, and its ears resemble an igloo's entrances. Adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier, with a shell of hard ice covering its hide. The shell is also made of very hard steel. This steel-like covering grants it extra defense from predators like Sneasel, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart; smarter predators such as Weavile exploit its soft underbelly. Alolan Sandshrew can burrow itself in the snow to avoid being blown away by blizzards. Its claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly. A traditional Alolan custom during festivals is a competition to see who can slide Alolan Sandshrew across the ice the farthest. They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Type: Ice,Steel Abilities: Snow Cloak,Slush Rush Evolution Conditions: Use the Items Ice Stone Evolution: Alolan Sandslash
- #6Alolan Sandslashselective
Keys: Alolan Sandslash
In the Alola region, Sandslash has an icy blue hide and steel quills covered in ice. These quills stand taller than a regular Sandslash's quills and resemble icicles. Unlike its Kantonian variant, Alolan Sandslash is rarely seen curling up into a ball, perhaps made difficult by its thick hide and icy spine. Instead, this Pokémon uses its hide for camouflage in the snow while exposing only its spines. Its body emits cold air, which sharpens its quills. Its forepaws are larger than its counterpart, and its claws are longer, thinner, and hooked at the tips. Formerly used for climbing trees, they now allow it to scale icebergs without slipping. Despite the weight of its ice-covered body, Alolan Sandslash can move swiftly by carving a path in the snow with its claws. It can move faster than any other Pokémon while in the snowy mountains. This Pokémon tends to live in the deeper parts of snowy mountains, where climbing is forbidden. However, the sprays of snow it kicks up are popular shots for photographers. People also climb up the mountains it lives in, to see Sandslash's icy spikes sparkle during the light of dawn. Stabs from Alolan Sandslash's spikes can cause both deep wounds and severe frostbite. They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Type: Ice,Steel Abilities: Snow Cloak,Slush Rush
- #7Alolan Vulpixselective
Keys: Alolan Vulpix
In the Alola region, Vulpix has adapted to snowy mountain peaks and developed a snowy white pelt. It has pale blue paws, blue eyes, and dark blue inside its ears. Its snout is more pronounced and pointed than that of non-Alolan Vulpix. The locks of hair on its head and its six tails are curlier and have a wispy appearance. Alolan Vulpix is believed to have arrived in the region at the same time as humans but moved to the snow-capped mountain to avoid other Pokémon. It can be found in small packs, called skulks, that are led and protected by Ninetales. Alolan Vulpix can expel breath as cold as −58 °F (−50 °C), which is capable of freezing anything. While it is not suited to warmer environments, its tail can produce ice to lower the surrounding temperature if needed. An old, local name for this Pokémon is "Keokeo", referring to its white pelt. Weavile is a natural predator of Alolan Vulpix. They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Alolan Vulpix prefers to sleep in freezing cold places. Whenever its resting spot starts to warm up, Alolan Vulpix will use its cold breath to change the surrounding area into a more comfortable temperature. Type: Ice Abilities: Snow Cloak,Snow Warning Evolution Conditions: Use the Items Ice Stone Evolution: Alolan Ninetales
- #8Alolan Ninetalesselective
Keys: Alolan Ninetales
In the Alola region, Ninetales have a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest and the lower halves of its legs are white. The crest on its head is longer, and its nine tails are less distinct. Additionally, it has larger blue eyes and small tufts of fur in front of its ears. Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped Mount Lanakila, which some consider holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle and calm temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of Vulpix. Those who anger it will be frozen stiff in an instant. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock. They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Alolan Ninetales can be seen sparkling in its sleep while it bathes the area around it with powdery snow. Type: Ice,Fairy Abilities: Snow Cloak,Snow Warning
- #9Alolan Diglettselective
Keys: Alolan Diglett
In Alola, Diglett has developed three fine gold whiskers on its head from living in soil with high iron content and volcanic environment. These whiskers function as sensors and allow it to monitor its surroundings without coming above ground, though it will still occasionally poke its head out to see outside. The whiskers can also be used for communication, wobbling around to relay mood or emotion. They stand straight up for anger, swing around for happiness, and droop for sadness. Needing to be able to dig through Alola's volcanic rock, Alolan Diglett is notably stronger than its non-Alolan counterparts. In Alola, their tunneling activity has resulted in creating cultivated soil. This cultivated soil is good enough for agriculture. The people in the Alola region are said to be very grateful for the actions of Alolan Diglett. However, they are still very small, tying with Klefki and Meltan as the shortest Steel-type. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Diglett and its Evolution are the only known Pokémon that can have Tangling Hair as an Ability. Despite Diglett having a strong resemblance to Wiglett from the Paldea region, the two Pokémon species are not biologically related, having entirely separate diets and habitats. Their resemblance to each other is said to be a coincidental result of adaptations to their respective environments. Type: Ground,Steel Abilities: Sand Veil,Tangling Hair,Sand Force Evolution Conditions: Level 26 or higher Evolution: Alolan Dugtrio
- #10Alolan Dugtrioselective
Keys: Alolan Dugtrio
Alolan Dugtrio is visually very similar to its counterpart, except each head has a mop of golden hair formed from modified whiskers. The left head has a bob-cut, the right head has curly "shoulder-length" hair, and the last one has flowing hair that touches the ground behind it. This hair is made out of thin, yet heavy strands of steel, which grows slowly and continuously throughout Alolan Dugtrio's life. The hairs act as a defensive measure, as well as sensors that can detect vibrations from long distances underground. In the Alola region, Alolan Dugtrio is regarded as a feminine deity of the earth, and taking its hairs is thought to bring bad luck. The people of Alola are known to fall to their knees and bow in respect to any Alolan Dugtrio they encounter. In Alola, there is superstitious belief that several Alolan Dugtrio will emerge out of their holes whenever an volcanic eruption occurs. Older residents of Alola will flee instantly upon witnessing this unusal sight. It's believed that Alolan Dugtrio is capable of detecting movements underground that indicate an impending eruption. Due to this, they tend to come aboveground in fright as an warning. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Dugtrio and its pre-Evolution are the only known Pokémon that can have Tangling Hair as an Ability. Wugtrio was once considered a regional variant of Dugtrio due to their resemblance, but it has since been reclassified as a completely separate species. Type: Ground,Steel Abilities: Sand Veil,Tangling Hair,Sand Force
- #11Alolan Meowthselective
Keys: Alolan Meowth
Alolan Meowth In Alola, Meowth has a slightly different look. This look was the result of the monarchy's influence. Alolan Meowth's fur is a light blue-gray color. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears a whitish-gray. Alolan Meowth's whiskers have a slight curve compared to regular Meowth's straighter whiskers, and it has silvery eyes. Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty. The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish, prideful, and cunning Alolan Meowth. As a result, Alolan Mewoth's new pride also made them impulsive and fickle in nature. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. Due to the actions of humans in Alola, Alolan Meowth's population increased in numbers. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth is known to be very famously diffcult to train due to their arrogant nature. Despite this, Alolan Meowth is also very popular with some Trainers who enjoy giving it a lot of attention. Type: Dark Abilities, Pickup,Technician,Rattled Evolution Conditions: Level up with high friendship or Level 28 or higher Evolution: Alolan Persian
- #12Alolan Persianselective
Keys: Alolan Persian
Alolan Persian has a body that is similar to its regular counterpart, but it has blue-gray fur. Its appearance is due to the luxurious lifestyle it received from the past Alolan monarchy. Its face has a different shape, being larger and more rounded with noticeable jowls. Its eyes are usually in a half-closed state, and instead of a red forehead jewel, it has a blue jewel. The jewel, though different in appearance, is made of mostly the same material as the one on a regular Persian. Alolan Persian's distinctive face, along with its high-class softer-than-velvet fur coat, is admired by the people and Pokémon of Alola. Alolan Persian's face is seen as a symbol of great wealth. Additionally, Alolan Persian is considered to be a Pokémon of great beauty. The bigger and plumper an Alolan Persian's face is, the more beautiful it is considered. The rippling of Alolan Persian's fur in battle is said to have a beauty of its own. This has made Alolan Persian a very popular Pokémon in the Alola region. Due to its distinctive fame, Alolan Persian is well protected and cared for by the Alola region. Notably, strict inspections are required before tourists are granted permission to take one Alolan Persian to their home region. In behavior, it is described as highly intelligent and having an even higher opinion of itself. This prideful Pokémon looks down on everything other than itself. Alolan Persian is a very difficult Pokémon partner to use in battle. The reason is due to it being unwilling to bond with its Trainer. Alolan Persian is said to have formidable physical abilities in battle. While battling, Alolan Persian puts on a refined act at first. However, it prefers to use underhanded tactics in battle. These tactics usually consist of surprise attacks to blindside foes, trickery, and even foul play like sucker punches. Because of these brutal tactics, it prefers to torture its weakened prey rather than finishing them off. This haughty personality has often caused it to underestimate opponents and be deceived by their counterattacks. In Generation IX, Alolan Persian is the only known Pokémon that can have Fur Coat as an Ability. Type: Dark Abilities, Fur Coat,Technician,Rattled
- #13Alolan Geodudeselective
Keys: Alolan Geodude
In the Alola region, Geodude is made from a magnetic rock with a more silvery appearance. There are areas on Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attract iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair. Its fingers are fused together, leaving only the thumb and index finger free. Stepping on Alolan Geodude results in an electrical shock and sometimes an angry headbutt. Like regular Geodude, it competes with others by bashing their bodies together. The iron sand sticks to the one with stronger magnetism. The Alolan Golem will fire these Geodude from its back if real rocks are absent. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Geodude and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability. Type: Rock,Electric Abilities: Magnet Pull,Sturdy,Galvanize Evolution Conditions: Level 25 or higher Evolution: Alolan Graveler
- #14Alolan Gravelerselective
Keys: Alolan Graveler
In the Alola region, Graveler looks similar to its regular counterpart, but with a silvery sheen. It lacks defined digits on its upper limbs and has two toes on each foot rather than three. There are several small, yellowish crystals scattered across its body and iron sand attracted by magnetism. This black sand creates crystal-like formations above its eyes, across the tops of the upper pair of arms, and on the sides of its face. Alolan Graveler has a very quick-tempered personality. Alolan Graveler feeds on dravite, which creates the yellow crystals on its body and grants it electrical abilities. It often fights with others over food, and when two smash together, it creates a flash of light and a booming sound; for this reason, people refer to it as "the fireworks of the earth". Similar to its Kantonian counterpart, Alolan Graveler rolls down mountain paths; however, instead of flattening obstacles as it rolls, it sends them flying by zapping them with electricity. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Graveler and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability. Type: Rock,Electric Abilities: Magnet Pull,Sturdy,Galvanize Evolution Conditions: communications exchange Evolution: Alolan Golem
- #15Alolan Golemselective
Keys: Alolan Golem
In the Alola region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots. The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact. Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearby Geodude instead. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability. Type: Rock,Electric Abilities: Magnet Pull,Sturdy,Galvanize
- #16Alolan Grimerselective
Keys: Alolan Grimer
Grimer was brought to Alola to deal with the excess waste generated by the region's increased population. Alolan Grimer eats solid garbage instead of sludge; this new diet has caused its body composition and form to change. Alolan Grimer's body is green with a line of yellow sludge along its lower lip that extends around behind its head, a bright blue tongue, and small black crescent-shaped spaces behind its eyes. It also has two blunt "teeth" in its upper jaw, which are actually crystallized toxins formed by its diet. It is not known how to break down these toxic crystals, but direct contact with them is known to be dangerous. Lethal poisons leak out of Alolan Grimer's body when these crystals fall out. Because it produces and stores toxins within its body, Alolan Grimer does not produce a foul stench like Kantonian Grimer. There are usually about one hundred Alolan Grimer found living near waste-disposal sites in Alola, assisting people in dealing with garbage. Alolan Grimer is widely used and a very popular Pokémon used in garbage disposal facilities around the world. Alolan Grimer is perpetually hungry and must constantly eat trash. If no trash is readily available, it will eat other manufactured products instead. In addition to garbage, Alolan Grimer preys on Trubbish and Garbodor; its introduction to Alola caused their populations to decrease in the region. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Grimer and its evolved form, Alolan Muk, are the only known Pokémon that can have Power of Alchemy as an Ability. Type: Poison,Dark Abilities: Poison Touch,Gluttony,Power of Alchemy Evolution Conditions: Level 38 or higher Evolution: Alolan Muk
- #17Alolan Mukselective
Keys: Alolan Muk
Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, and yellow stripes with thin blue bands in between. The green, yellow, and pink stripes are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. It has various white, crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue eyes with a black space behind them and a bright blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons. Chemical reactions of different poisons occurring within its body is the source of Alolan Muk's vitality. Alolan Muk is unexpectedly quiet and friendly. However, if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. It is thought that it cannot maintain its energy without a constant source of toxins, which causes its voracious appetite. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. Unlike Kantonian Muk, Alolan Muk does not produce a foul stench due to its toxins being contained within its body. Alolan Muk preys on Trubbish and Garbodor. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Muk and its pre-evolved form, Alolan Grimer, are the only known Pokémon that can have Power of Alchemy as an Ability. Type: Poison,Dark Abilities: Poison Touch,Gluttony,Power of Alchemy
- #18Alolan Exeggutorselective
Keys: Alolan Exeggutor
Due to the abundance of sunlight in the Alola region, the Exeggutor that live there grow over five times taller than those in other regions. The region is considered to be the best environment for Alolan Exeggutor. Alolan Exeggutor's neck is thinner and much longer, causing it to more closely resemble a coconut tree or tropical palm tree than its Kantonian counterpart, which resembles the shorter desert palm. It has a long, tapering tail with two leaves and a fourth light green head on the tip. This extra head can also act on its own and defend the rear. The tail can use weak telepathy to scan the surrounding area. Its long neck can be used as a whip to attack enemies with its hard head. However, its neck can also be a weak point, as it will become dizzy swinging it around. Its increased height reduced its need for a psychic defense and has instead awakened its draconic powers, resulting in its psychic powers becoming weaker. Ancient carvings and murals depict this Pokémon. Alolan Exeggutor is considered the pride of the Alola region by its natives. Alolans take pride in its appearance, claiming this is what Exeggutor ought to look like. Its extra height makes it the tallest and heaviest Grass-type. Alolan Exeggutor can be found on Exeggutor Island, a former trial site in Alola, which is not only shaped like an Exeggutor, but contains many wild Exeggutor, giving the island its name. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. In Generation VII, Dragon Hammer was its signature move, but Tropius could still inherit it via breeding. Type: Grass,Dragon Abilities: Frisk,Harvest
- #19Alolan Marowakselective
Keys: Alolan Marowak
In the Alola region, Marowak was faced with an abundance of its natural enemies, Grass-type Pokémon. This harsh environment led it to bond closely with its friends, which is said to have created a sort of sixth sense and caused it to take a new form. Alolan Marowak's body is black and it has pale gray eyes. There is a dark, flamelike mark on its skull between the eyes. Compared to regular Marowak's squatter, thicker body, Alolan Marowak is relatively thin. White markings resembling shoulder blades, vertebrae, and hip bones are visible on its back. The bone Alolan Marowak uses is longer than the one regular Marowak uses. It customarily mourns its companions by burying them and dancing in mourning. Alolan Marowak rubs the bone it wields against its forehead to light the ends in a green flame and then twirls the flaming bone. The flame is made from spirit of its deceased mother. The deceased mother has transformed into vengeful spirit that will protect Alolan Marowak. It specializes in an attack where it releases a weak ball of flame from its bone that will relentlessly pursue its foe. Alolans would fear it for a conjurer, due to its rarity and the fearful sight of it dancing with its bone. The dance is also used as a way of mourning for its lost allies. Once its flames have spread onto an opponent, they are impossible to put out with water. The cursed flames are known to cause both mental and physical pain. A special Alolan Marowak in Alola acts as the Totem Pokémon for Kiawe's trial in Wela Volcano Park. This Marowak possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Marowak and completing the trial is a Firium Z. Alolan Marowak is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Shadow Bone. Type: Fire,Ghost Abilities: Cursed Body,Lightning Rod,Rock Head
- #20Galarian Meowthselective
Keys: Galarian Meowth
Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Its coin is now black and extremely hard, with the darkest and hardest coins being especially valued and respected among the species. Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers. As a result of many battles, Galarian Meowth develops the ability to evolve into Perrserker, instead of Persian. Kantonian Meowth and Galarian Meowth don't get along. Type: Steel Abilities: Pickup,Tough Claws,Unnerve Evolution Conditions: Level 28 or higher Evolution: Perrserker
- #21Galarian Ponytaselective
Keys: Galarian Ponyta
Ponyta has adapted in the forests of the Galar region, after generations of being exposed to the life energy found within. Galarian Ponyta has chalk-white fur covering most of its body. Instead of flames, its mane, tail and fetlocks are covered in a long, purple-and-blue, fluffy fur. Its eyes are purple with light-blue irises, and it has a small purple-and-white horn on top of its forehead. Galarian Ponyta can absorb the life energy located in the atmosphere and store it in its mane, which will then become more colorful and potentially release a shining glow if there is a lot of energy to use. Galarian Ponyta's horn has healing powers; it can heal any slight wound with a few rubs from its horn. By looking into the eyes of a person, Galarian Ponyta can read the contents of their heart. Should it find any evil, it will promptly go into hiding. As shown in the Pokémon Journeys: The Series episode The Tale of You and Glimwood Tangle!, Galarian Ponyta can send pleas for help in the form of visions to people, even if they're from another region. Galarian Ponyta and its Evolution are the only known Pokémon that can have Pastel Veil as an Ability. Type: Psychic Abilities: Run Away,Pastel Veil,Anticipation Evolution Conditions: Level 40 or higher Evolution: Galarian Rapidash
- #22Galarian Rapidashselective
Keys: Galarian Rapidash
In Galar, Rapidash takes on a new form with a white coat, pale blue eyes, and a long, curly mane and tail colored in streaks of pastel cyan and pink. Its horn is much longer than that of Kantonian Rapidash and is deep violet in color with a spiraling white line running its length. Its fetlocks are adorned with long pink fur that stores psychic energy, which gives it a swift, airy gait, and it has deep violet hooves. When using psychic energy, its horn glows with a yellow aura, and its colored fur glows with seemly flowing color. Galarian Rapidash lives in forests and is known for being brave and prideful. It can channel its psychic power into a powerful Psycho Cut from its horn that can pierce through sheet metal. Galarian Rapidash and its pre-Evolution are the only known Pokémon that can have Pastel Veil as an Ability. Type: Psychic,Fairy Abilities: Run Away,Pastel Veil,Anticipation
- #23Galarian Slowpokeselective
Keys: Galarian Slowpoke
Galarian Slowpoke's body is a slightly different shade of pink, and it has gained yellow colorations on its forehead and tail. This tail is always down and is said to have a spicy taste. Galarian Slowpoke's diet consists of eating spices. Much like its Kantonian counterpart, Galarian Slowpoke is known to relax on seashores and riverbanks without a care in the world. However, sometimes it will get a very sharp look in its eyes as if it is about to think of something tremendous, although it will quickly forget and return to its normal expression afterward. It is believed that this behavior, along with the spicy taste of its tail, is a result of Galarica particles built up from its diet of native Galarica seeds affecting its brain and body. This diet also affects Slowpoke's two different Evolutions, including the Shellder that attaches to it, which is induced by either the Galarica Cuff or the Galarica Wreath. Due to the scent of the spice emanating from its tail, the Galarian Slowpoke often has difficulties while fishing. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Galar's regional life is simulated. Type: Psychic Abilities: Gluttony,Own Tempo,Regenerator Evolution Conditions: Use the Items Galarica Cuff Evolution: Galarian Slowbro Evolution Conditions: Use the Items Galarica Wreath Evolution: Galarian Slowking
- #24Galarian Slowbroselective
Keys: Galarian Slowbro
In Galar, Slowbro's appearance differs due to Shellder biting its arm instead of its tail, causing a chemical reaction between the Shellder's poison and the consumed Galarica spices within the Slowpoke's body. The Shellder attached to its arm resembles the Shellder tail of its Kantonian counterpart, but is smaller, with a purple tip shaped like a stinger, and lacking visible pupils. Galarian Slowbro itself has a slight color difference compared to its counterpart, being pinker, with purple accents on its head, arms, and tail. Galarian Slowbro is considered highly dangerous for its tendency to indiscriminately attack its surroundings, the reason for which is due to its Shellder sometimes unconsciously biting down hard on its arm. Another reason is that Shellder feels bliss when biting hard enough to absorb Galarian Slowbro's poison. However, Shellder will occasionally faint from the seeping poison, and Galarian Slowbro occasionally lashes out due to the itching caused by said poison. While normally zoned out, when facing a strong opponent its body becomes stimulated, and it will sport a sharper expression. Galarian Slowbro attacks by grabbing at its Shellder's tongue, causing the Shellder to fire poisonous liquids from its tip. It attacks at speeds rivaling the quickest of known reflexes. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Galar's regional life is simulated. Galarian Slowbro is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Shell Side Arm. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Quick Draw as an Ability.

Keys: Galarian Slowking
In Galar, Shellder's bite causes a different chemical reaction in the brain due to the Galarica spices that make up Galarian Slowpoke's diet, causing Galarian Slowking to take on a unique appearance. The tip of its tail and the top half of its body are purple, and it has a long dark cloak that drapes from its neck. The Shellder has grown more dominant, appearing completely different with a rougher texture, a darker gray coloration, and a larger size, covering Slowking's eyes and nostrils. It has several purple spots dotting it, with a large one at the center that surrounds a green gem and two black eyes. The spikes on the Shellder are more blunt, and it has two purple horn-like tubes on either side from which poison may be secreted. The Shellder's teeth have also grown in size and are broad and flat instead of sharp; the same holds true for its wearer. As Galarian Slowking evolves, the Shellder on its head has its intelligence skyrocket, giving it the ability to control the Slowking, as well as psychic powers that can rival the power of other Psychic-type Pokémon. Galarian Slowking has been observed chanting mysterious spells and incantations in battle or to communicate with each other. It also chants these spells while creating strange potions using its internal toxins. What these incantations and spells mean has yet to be fully understood. Galarian Slowking is capable of creating potions by mixing toxins it produces with the food it consumes. These potions are derived and secreted from poison and the holes on Galarian Slowking's horns. However, not even Galarian Slowking itself will have any idea what effects the potions it produces will have. It will administer the potions it creates to weaken any Pokémon it sees fit to test on. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Galar's regional life is simulated. As seen in An Evolution in Taste!, Galarian Slowking's Shellder crown retains the same ability to control humans like its Johto counterpart.

The leek it carries with its wings is much larger in Galar than the leeks that Farfetch'd use in other regions, although whether it is related to the Large Leek used as a curry ingredient is unknown. Galarian Farfetch'd's body has developed a much stronger frame that gives it the strength required to carry its leek. However, this sheer mass makes it hard for it to fly. It is renowned for its courage in battle and can use its leek like swords or javelins.

The gas clouds also partly cover its faces: the larger head has a mustache-like cloud on its upper lip, while the smaller head has clouds on its face in the shape of eyebrows and a beard. Galarian Weezing consumes particles from polluted air and expels clean air instead of droppings. The toxins within Galarian Weezing's body are accumulated into poison gas clouds that leak and drift around it.

When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings. Galarian Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire beams of psychic energy that leave its opponents stuck in place as if frozen solid — this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality.

Its wings, crest, and tail are mostly black, with the crest having an extra curl at the front and the tail being split in two, and all three of these features exude a magenta, flame-like energy that earns it the name of its Kantonian counterpart. Its body apparently feels lukewarm to the touch. The sinister energy that blazes from within its body is so oppressive that most Pokémon can't even approach it. Galarian Moltres attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash its energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. The aura has the power to consume the spirit of its victims, reducing them to burned-out shadows of themselves. As seen in Charge!

Its mane covers its eyes and extends below its head, ending with three curls. Its ears are round and square with light orange-red interiors. It has a small horn made of rock on its head, and its tail is curly. Growlithe's Hisuian form is the result of it being exposed to volcanic activity within the coastal highlands it lives in during Hisui's early times. Hisuian Growlithe's soft and insulated fur allows it to survive the cold weather of Hisui. Although Hisuian Growlithe's horn is made of rock, it is fragile and breaks easily, so the Pokémon rarely uses its horn unless needed.

On the inside, Hisuian Voltorb's body contains numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine its interior due to it being pitch-black. Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow. Despite its resemblance to a Poké Ball, it can be inferred that Hisuian Voltorb's existence predates the device's invention, as evidenced by the fact that the ancient hero of Hisui legend had an Electrode companion which would become the ancestor of the region's noble Electrode. Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly, which it discharges all at once from its hole. Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge.

It has fire-producing spots all around its neck, covering the collar pattern, and these spots produce flames that wisp in a bright magenta red color. Hisuian Typhlosion has graceful and refined movements, and a gentler, more pacifistic nature compared to Johtonian Typhlosion.

As a result of its appearance, Hisuian Zoroark was said to resemble an embodiment of death. The illusions channeled through Hisuian Zoroark's long withering fur are full of spite. Uniquely, this spiteful illusion can cause physical harm to its opponent on both the inside and outside. This power comes from the hatred it has for every living thing in the world. Hisuian Zoroark's illusion malice is powerful enough to drive anyone who sees it to insanity due to their terror. Hisuian Zoroark recklessly attacks its foes or nemeses, to the point its own bitter energy can cause physical harm onto itself. Despite its extremely hostile and aggressive nature to everything, Hisuian Zoroark can be compassionate to those it cares about, such as Hisuian Zorua, and it will become an invaluable ally once someone earns its trust. Hisuian Zoroark prefers to reside in the cold areas where it lingers onto. Like its Unova counterpart, Hisuian Zoroark can make its illusion of humans talking, to the point of easily fooling anyone in order to get food. Hisuian Zoroark and Zorua are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Bitter Malice. Type: Normal,Ghost Abilities: Illusion
