A total of four Paldean forms were introduced in [[Generation IX]]. In addition, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduce the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs heavily resemble the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|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 {{wp|convergent evolution}}. | A total of four Paldean forms were introduced in [[Generation IX]].

Additionally the [[Paradox Pokémon]] despite resembling existing species of Pokémon are also considered to be a separate species of Pokémon though they are theorized to be related to those species in some way. | Additionally the [[Paradox Pokémon]] despite resembling existing species of Pokémon, are also considered to be a separate species of Pokémon, though they are theorized to be related to those species in some way. | ||
