Hisuian form
Hisuian form (Japanese: ヒスイのすがた Hisui's form) is a regional form found in Hisui.
In the core series games
Like in the Galar region, Pokémon introduced both in and after Generation I have Hisuian forms. Notably, these forms were introduced after their region's debut, as Hisui is a version of the Sinnoh region from the distant past.
Generation VIII
A total of seventeen Hisuian forms (eighteen if White-Striped Form Basculin is counted) were introduced in Generation VIII.
Generation IX
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, all Hisuian form Pokémon are transferrable to the game.

Pokémon GO
On January 30, 2022, Hisuian Voltorb made its Pokémon GO debut with the addition of the Voltorb from the Hisui Region?! event. While Hisuian Voltorb could not initially evolve, Hisuian Electrode was added to the game on February 18, 2022 as a part of the GO Tour Poké Ball Prep Rally event. Feeding Hisuian Voltorb 
50 will evolve it into Hisuian Electrode.
Hisuian Growlithe, Arcanine, Qwilfish, and Sneasel, along with the evolved forms for the latter two, were introduced as part of the Hisuian Discoveries event, starting on July 27, 2022. Hisuian Growlithe, Qwilfish and Sneasel can be hatched from 7 km Eggs, although Hisuian Qwilfish can also be encountered in the wild. During the same event, Hisuian Braviary made its debut in raids on July 31, 2022.

Trivia
- Hisuian Sneasel is the only regional form to have gender differences.
- Goodra is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have a regional form.
- Decidueye is the only Pokémon with a regional form:
- Introduced after Generation VI.
- Whose original and regional forms have different evolution levels.
- If White-Striped Basculin is counted as a regional form, it is the only regional form of a Pokémon that evolves into a Pokémon with gender differences.
White-Striped Basculin
The status of Basculin's White-Striped Form as a regional form is inconsistent between various Pokémon media.
Evidence for
- In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Professor Laventon refers to White-Striped Basculin as a regional form in its Pokédex entry.
- White-Striped Basculin is treated as a Hisuian form in Pokémon HOME.
- In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Basculin cards featuring the White-Striped Form use the name "Hisuian Basculin".
Evidence against
- White-Striped Basculin is the only region-exclusive form that doesn't follow the standard naming convention for regional forms. All other regional forms are named after the region they originate in, with region name preceding species name, such as "Hisuian Sneasel" or "Alolan Meowth".
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet does not internally classify White-Striped Basculin as a regional form. Therefore, while breeding, a White-Striped Basculin or Basculegion parent is not required to hold an Everstone for the offspring to hatch into White-Striped Basculin.
