In the [[Alola]] and [[Galar]] regions, certain Pokémon species have regional forms known as an '''Alolan Form''' (Japanese: '''アローラのすがた''' ''Alola Form''), previously '''Alola Form''' in Generation VII, or a '''Galarian Form''' (Japanese: '''ガラルのすがた''' ''Galar Form''), respectively. A Pokémon in these forms are described as Alolan or Galarian—for example, {{p|Meowth}} in its Alolan Form is referred to as Alolan Meowth and Meowth in its Galarian Form is referred to as Galarian Meowth.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring has a regional form, the offspring's form depends on its parents. If the female parent is the species' normal form (including in a Ditto pairing) and holds an [[Everstone]], and if the offspring is in the same family as that parent, then the offspring will hatch as the normal form. In all other cases, the offspring will always hatch in its regional form.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], if a Pokémon evolves from a species that does not have an Alolan Form to one that does, such as {{p|Cubone}}, it will always evolve into its Alolan Form and cannot evolve into its normal form. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the Pokémon will evolve into its Alolan Form while in Alola itself, but can also evolve into its normal form while in [[Ultra Space]].

While [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] take place in [[Kanto]], players can import Alolan Forms from [[Pokémon GO]] or receive them from [[in-game trade]]s. Alolan Forms of Pokémon present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] are currently unavailable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. However, they are programmed and modeled in the game, and an Alolan Meowth even makes a cameo appearance in the [[non-player character|NPC]] [[Pokémon Camp]] on {{rt|7|Galar}}.
