A '''regional variant''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form'') is a [[Pokémon (species)|species]] of Pokémon found in a specific [[region]] that takes on a different form than it does in most other regions. These Pokémon have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]]. This is analogous to {{wp|peripatric speciation}} in regards to real world phenomena, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develop unique traits and eventually evolve into a new species. | A '''regional variant''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form'') is a [[Pokémon (species)|species]] of Pokémon found in a specific [[region]] that takes on a different form than it does in most other regions.

The leader Golem later joined a trio of {{tc|Hiker}}s who volunteered to help with future patrols of Wela Volcano Park. | |||
