A '''regional form''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form''), previously referred to as a '''regional variant''' in [[Generation VII]], 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]], [[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 form''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form''), previously referred to as a '''regional variant''' in [[Generation VII]], 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.

In the [[Alola]] and [[ | In the [[Alola]], [[Galar]], and [[Hisui]] 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, a '''Galarian Form''' (Japanese: '''ガラルのすがた''' ''Galar Form''), or a '''Hisuian Form''' (Japanese: '''ヒスイのすがた''' ''Hisui Form''), respectively. A Pokémon in these forms are described as such—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 have a regional form, the offspring will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which it was bred, regardless of its parents' forms. However, if one of the parents of the same evolutionary family held an [[Everstone]] when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent. | When {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring have a regional form, the offspring will normally take on the form corresponding to the region in which it was bred, regardless of its parents' forms.
