Paldean form

Paldean form (Japanese: パルデアのすがた Paldea's form) is a regional form found in Paldea.

In the core series games

Generation IX

A total of four Paldean forms were introduced in Generation IX. In addition, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduce the Wiglett, Toedscool, and Poltchageist lines, whose designs heavily resemble the Diglett, Tentacool, and Sinistea lines, respectively. Despite their similar appearances, these Pokémon are not regional forms, as their Pokédex entries confirm them to be separate species. Their resemblance to pre-existing Pokémon may be inspired by the real-world phenomenon of convergent evolution.
