Now that we have a fairly large assortment of regional designs, I decided to make FOUR Top 5 lists here, each from Alola, Galar, Hisui and Paldea. Some I like a lot more than others, some I like even more than the original designs. Let’s get into it.
Pokémon Sun & Moon: Alola
Pokémon Sword & Shield: Galar
Pokémon Legends: Arceus: Hisui
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Paldea
Music used from all four games

The only Pokemon not to get a regional form? Koffin for literally no reason what so ever except F Sword and Shield.
My number one is wooper. His original form was crushed to dust in my heart by swampert so the new version is amazing. So much so I almost want to play Pokemon again just for him.
Other than that. Zigzagoon raichu Sandslash Vulpix are ones I also love to see
really cool and well-made video – thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hahaha Raichu is bread themed… this kind of factoid is why our world needs these videos
12:23 smokestack Weezing mentioned
Wait, there are three paldean forms? That’s news to me. I thought there were only 2
I'm not sure off the top of my head what my favorites are, I just hope they keep making them
If you don't count paradoxes and Toedscool/Wiglett lines, paldea was pretty light
I think the idea still has a lot of potential
Alola: Most of these ones are great. And honestly, I kind of like Alolan Dugtrio and Exeggutor for how goofy they are. They'd probably still just miss the top 5 for me though.
Galar: I'm pretty meh about most of these. Ponyta/Rapidash and the legendary birds are the only ones I really like. The rest are just fine, I guess.
Hisui: I think that almost all of these are great. I love how Voltorb and Electrode have the apricorn thing going on, Sliggoo and Goodra are great improvements over the originals, Typhlosion is really cool, and Sneasel just looks right. But my favorites are Braviary and Zorua/Zoroark. Zorua was already very huggable, but then they went and made it extra sad.
Paldea: Meh? I love the concept of paradox Pokemon, but most of them don't do much for me. But I do really like Roaring Moon and Iron Moth. And Paldean Whooper is great, but that's just because Whooper is great.

I think paldean Taurus forms were actually based off the colors red and blue more-so than different forms of animal cruelty
Regional types have been the best addition to the series
Maybe it's just because I'm a big fan of original Raichu, but I never really liked its Alolan variant. The concept is cool for sure, but the actual design just doesn't work for me. It looks too dopey, compared to the fiercer original.
Still, it's a small miracle Raichu got any new love at all from GF.
I think my favorite regional variant so far is Galarian Slowking. It's got an evil sorcerer vibe that I really dig and the Poison/Psychic typing is really neat.
One thing you forgot to mention in your video is that Alolan Grimer has the color of Kanto Grimer's Shiny as his base color and Alola Grimer's Shiny is the color of Kanto Grimer's base color. This is a detail that always made me tripping! I like all the ones you mentioned, I just want to add Ponyta and Rapidash from Galar and Zorua and Zoroark from Hiusie! I think they are really stylish! Great video and have a great week-end!(:
Gallardevoir superiority
Iron Valient
RIP Scream Tail. But I actually overall agree with your list. Great to see a new video, too! Keep it up, Paraspectre!
All of these Paldean forms are mind blowing, in part because I didn’t even know Paldea was even a region
I wouldn't worry too much about convergent Pokémon not being proper regional forms. It has been confirmed that Galarian Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos aren't actually related to the original Kanto birds, just named after them
I love Scream Tail, Flutter Mane, Iron Valliant, Hisuian Lilligant, Galarian Corsola and Hisuian Sliggoo. Most of these is simply because I love the original, but Sliggoo I love more than the original and made me appreciate the original more as well.
I also find it interesting that the tcg describes evolutions like Cursola as galarian for example. Its probably just for the interactions with trainer cards, but its interesting to think about johtonian cursola for example.
if you besmirch the good name of Hanson Dugtrio i'll mmmbop you
More of an added evolution to an established line than a regional variant, but Annihilape is absolutely one of my favorites that's come out. I love the whole "Too angry to die" trope and they pulled it off with Primeape perfectly
My overall top 5 off the top of my head are arcanine, corsola, ninetales, typhlosion, and exeggutor
Among evos: kingambit, basculegion, obstagoon, wyrdeer, and annihilape
Hi,I am from Spain,also don't like fullfighting (in fact where I live bullfighting is forbidden since 2010,and a former arena is now a shopping mall in Barcelona) and probably the fire Tauros is a reference to a "festive" activity that involves attaching like a torch or some fireball thingy to a bull which is called "Toro Embolado",and the Water Tauros is a reference to the "Bous a la Mar",which takes place in an improvised arena that has the sea in one of their sides,the goal is to make the bull fall into the water
Doesn't seem like unique Pokémon that evolve from a regional variant count in this list but there's a lot of good ones imo.
Personally my variant #1 favorite of each region looks a little like this:
. Alola: Exeggutor
. Galar: Weezing
. Hisuian: Lilligant
. Paldea: Wooper
Glad the idea was useful! Btw I love top X videos. That was the main inspiration for me making my channel back in 2016. It's nice to see another one.
If Marowak wasn’t #1 I was gonna riot 😂
But I love Alolan Muk…

Also, wtf is wrong with you if you don't like Alolan Dugtrio's glorious manes?
Darn I really love you videos. Thanks for the insight of your favorite pokemon.
I don’t really care much for alolan sandshrew/slash, but I’ve recently used sandshrew in the gen2 games and it’s a very solid Pokémon! I was pleasantly surprised! Easiest Whitney battle ever! I definitely see it under a different light now.
I will respect your opinions even if I do not agree with a lot of them. Still Hisuian Sneasel,Thyplosion, and Alolan Marowak are some of my favorites so can't be too mad at you.
