New Regional Forms & Evolutions

In this post, you’ll find a complete guide to all the new regional forms and brand-new evolutions introduced in Pokemon Z. Set during your journey through the Ancient Kalos region, these Pokemon feature custom sprites, unique typings, and carefully balanced stats and movesets designed to refresh the gameplay experience. Experimenting with these new forms can open up creative team strategies and give your playthrough a fresh and exciting feel from start to finish.

Note

We’ve added the sprites for each new Regional Form in two parts:

  • The left side shows the standard (normal) Regional Form.
  • The right side shows the shiny version of that Regional Pokemon.

This layout makes it easy to compare the normal and shiny forms side by side and clearly see the differences between them.

Note: Before moving on, be sure to check out our other location guides as well. We’ve created dedicated pages for each generation’s Pokemon, along with separate guides for all Legendary Pokemon and Fakemon. Exploring those pages will help you find every Pokemon location quickly and complete your collection with ease.
