Fan terms for Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles previously introduced [[Regional forms]]. | Fan terms for Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically.
