Can Regional variants of Pokemon fight better than original Pokemon forms? Which Pokemon form is the strongest? Scroll down and find everything.
In Pokemon games, there are tons of features and mechanics. Understanding the concepts of Pokemon games is as challenging as completing battles in the game. The Pokemon featured in Pokedex belong to different regions, elemental types and have evolution forms as well. Trainers can unlock Pokemon by catching them in the wild, completing events and spending resources. A Pokemon evolves into different forms. Pokemon that have multiple evolution forms are known as branched evolution.
Some Pokemon migrate from their home region and spawns in other regions in different forms and these are called regional variants. Original Pokemon variants don’t change their home and they stay in a single region throughout their journeys, but these regional forms of Pokemon keep changing their forms and types. Regional forms have Pokemon from the same species, but their original identity and forms will change. Here’s all about original forms and regional variants of Pokemon.
Original Pokemon vs Regional Variants Pokemon
When an original Pokemon becomes a Regional Variant, it will change its type. A normal type Pokemon will become a bug type, an electric Pokemon transforms as a grass type and some regional variants become a dual-type Pokemon as well. Some Pokemon have more than two regional forms and there are 50+ Regional Variants in the Pokedex.
Some players say the regional variants are better than original Pokemon and some say the opposite. But one can come to a conclusion by comparing stats of Pokemon in both forms. As of now, regional forms of Pokemon are available in major regions like Paldea, Hisuian, Galar and Alola. The regional variants concept was first introduced in generation 7 of Pokemon.
Even the appearances of regional Pokemon forms will be different and their behaviour also changes in the new environment. But these will not impact the skills and performances of Pokemon in different regions. Also, a regional Pokemon will not migrate after landing in another region.
Both regional and original Pokemon forms are stronger and can be used for raids and events. To find out which Pokemon is the strongest among Regional and Original forms, you have to compare their base stats, weather boost and movesets. These will indicate which form of a Pokemon is better.
