Character Sheet: All Galarian Forms and New Evos

OBSTAGOON/PERRSERKER/CURSOLA/SIRFETCH'D/MR. RIME/RUNERIGUS/REGIELEKI/ REGIDRAGO

And now, we come to our Regional variants for this generation, just like we had back in Alola. This time, however, we have an added feature in that some of the Regional forms gained new evolutions for their lines. We’ll be covering them here as well.

In Pokedex order, we first have Meowth, who gains the Steel type and takes inspiration from Nordic Vikings and such. Instead of evolving into Persian this time, however, it becomes Perrserker, leaning even more heavily into the Viking inspirations.

Standard B: Pay Day > Fury Swipes

Side B: Metal Claw

Up B: Fake Out > Thrash

Down B: Bite > Metal Sound

Final Smash: Dynamax

Ponyta and Rapidash now become Psychic and Fairy, being much more wholly based on unicorns, and join the Hatenna and Impidimp lines in the whole Fairy Tale vibe.

Standard B: Psybeam > Psycho Cut

Side B: Agility

Up B: Fairy Wind

Down B: Stomp > Healing Wish

Final Smash: Dynamax

Slowpoke drops its Water typing, and then its evolutions Slowbro and Slowking instead gain a Poison typing, the poisonous Shellder biting them infecting them with it and effectively turning them into zombies.

Standard B: Acid > Psychic | Eerie Spell

Side B: Headbutt > Shell Side Arm | Zen Headbutt

Up B: Surf

Down B: Amnesia > Acid

Final Smash: Dynamax

Farfetch’d becomes a Fighting type and trains itself in the way of the sword, now evolving up into Sirfetch’d, its leek having grown into its personal weapon and shield.

Standard B: Brutal Swing

Side B: Peck > Brick Break

Up B: Aerial Ace > Meteor Assault

Down B: False Swipe > Iron Defense

Final Smash: Dynamax

Weezing gained a pair of tall smokestacks on top of its head, shaped like top hats, and gains the Fairy type for some reason. Something to do with its gas being refined or something.

Standard B: Clear Smog

Side B: Sludge Bomb

Up B: Fairy Wind

Down B: Self-Destruct

Final Smash: Dynamax

Mr. Mime gained the Ice typing and became much more based on a tap dancer, also evolving up into Mr. Rime, who is literally just Charlie Chaplin as a Pokemon.

Standard B: Reflect

Side B: Ice Shard > Freeze-Dry

Up B: Mist

Down B: Mimic > Safeguard

Final Smash: Dynamax

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres also gained new Galarian forms with a general villainous vibe to them. Articuno became Psychic and looks very much like a Machiavellian supervillain plotting to conquer the world. Zapdos became a Fighting type and became more land-based, running around on much more powerful legs. And Moltres became Dark-type, swooping around with wings made of hellfire.

Standard B: Freezing Glare || Thunderous Kick || Sucker Punch

Side B: Psycho Cut || Drill Peck || Fiery Wrath

Up B: Hurricane || Close Combat || Air Slash

Down B: Future Sight || Reversal || Payback

Final Smash: Triple Dynamax

Corsola gained the Ghost typing and became based on bleached coral, where the animal has died due to pollution, leaving behind only the calcium structures bleached a pure white. It can now evolve into Cursola.

Standard B: Night Shade

Side B: Hex > Power Gem

Up B: Ancient Power

Down B: Spite > Grudge

Final Smash: Dynamax

Zigzagoon and Linoone have gained the Dark typing as well as white and black coloration reminiscent of the band Kiss. They can now evolve into Obstagoon, a badger punk rocker very based on Kiss.

Standard B: Headbutt > Night Slash (III)

Side B: Pin Missile > Slash (II) > Lick (III)

Up B: Tackle > Take Down (II)

Down B: Lick > Obstruct (III)

Final Smash: Dynamax

Darumaka and Darmanitan now gain the Ice typing and are much more based on snowmen and the yeti. Darmanitan’s zen mode is especially based on a snowman, but its meditation has brought back out its Fire typing, making it the current only Ice/Fire combo in the series.

Standard B: Ice Punch

Side B: Headbutt > Icicle Crash

Up B: Work Up > Blizzard

Down B: Powder Snow > Zen Mode

Final Smash: Dynamax

Yamask now carries around a hunk of rock with Nordic runes carved into it instead of its death mask, and can now evolve into Runerigus, a ghost that has fully taken over a large runestone.

Standard B: Hex > Shadow Claw

Side B: Brutal Swing

Up B: Haze > Phantom Force

Down B: Protect > Earthquake

Final Smash: Dynamax

And finally, Stunfisk has gained the Steel type and is now fully based on a bear trap.

Standard B: Crunch

Side B: Mud Shot

Up B: Bounce

Down B: Stealth Rock

Final Smash: Dynamax

Regieleki and Regidrago aren’t really Regional forms or new Evos, but they feel like they fit here, as they are additions to previously existing groups. They are new Regis, just like their predecessors, except instead of being made of solid materials like the others, Regieleki is a big ball of living electricity, while Regidrago is like one of those snowglobe things you see with a dragon’s head holding the globe in its mouth like it’s a crystal ball, but turned upside down. You get it when you see it.

Standard B: Thunderbolt | Dragon Breath

Side B: Zap Cannon | Dragon Claw

Up B: Magnet Rise | Twister

Down B: Thunder Cage | Vice Grip

Final Smash: Power of the Giants

Most of the secondary stuff would mostly be what I listed for their original forms, maybe just slightly updated to fit their new theming.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Zacian brandishes its sword!
