In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, regional forms (formerly called regional variants) were introduced. These are Pokémon that have adapted specifically for the environment of the [[region]] they reside in and thus differ in appearance, as well as possibly other attributes such as [[type]], [[move]]s, [[Ability]], or [[base stats]], from the same species of Pokémon as found in other regions. Four regions are known to have their own regional forms: [[Alolan form]]s are found in [[Alola]], [[Galarian form]]s are found in [[Galar]], [[Hisuian form]]s are found in [[Hisui]], and [[Paldean form]]s are found in [[Paldea]].

In {{g|X and Y}}, Mega Evolution was introduced. It allows certain Pokémon to achieve a more powerful form in battle. Mega Evolution may only be achieved if the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}} possesses a [[Key Stone]] and the Pokémon [[Held item|holds]] the [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to its species (with the sole exception of {{p|Rayquaza}}), and a Trainer can only Mega Evolve their Pokémon once per battle. In addition to altering the Pokémon's appearance, Mega Evolution changes its [[base stats]], and may also change its [[type]] and [[Ability]]. Mega Evolution has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].
