There are 57 regional forms, shared between 54 Pokémon. They come from four places: Alola (18 forms), Galar (19), Hisui (16) and Paldea (4).
A regional form is a different version of a Pokémon you already knew, adapted to life in one region. In this list every one of them has a different type from the normal version. Every table below shows the old type, the new type and the base stat total (the six numbers that describe how strong a Pokémon is, added up).
What are regional forms?
The idea started in Pokémon Sun and Moon (Generation 7), where they were called "regional variants". From Generation 8 the name is "regional forms". The first ones were the Alolan forms, and every one of the 18 is an old Generation 1 Pokémon.
Two Pokémon have more than one. Meowth has an Alolan form and a Galarian form. Tauros has three Paldean forms, called Combat Breed, Blaze Breed and Aqua Breed. Every other Pokémon with a regional form has just one.
The links below take you to each form's page. You can also read about the places themselves in Pokémon regions in order.

Regional forms that evolve into new Pokémon
A few regional forms evolve into a Pokémon that has no normal version at all. This table shows each one, the new Pokémon, its type and how it evolves. If you want to understand evolving in general, read how Pokémon evolution works.
| Regional form | Evolves into (new species) | Type | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galarian Meowth | Perrserker | Steel | Level 28 |
| Galarian Farfetch'd | Sirfetch'd | Fighting | Land 3 critical hits in one battle |
| Paldean Wooper | Clodsire | Poison/Ground | Level 20 |
| Hisuian Qwilfish | Overqwil | Dark/Poison | Level up, knowing Barb Barrage |
| Hisuian Sneasel | Sneasler | Fighting/Poison | Level up, during the day, holding Razor Claw |
| Galarian Corsola | Cursola | Ghost | Level 38 |
| Galarian Linoone | Obstagoon | Dark/Normal | Level 35, at night |
| Galarian Mr. Mime | Mr. Rime | Ice/Psychic | Level 42 |
| Galarian Yamask | Runerigus | Ground/Ghost | Take 49 damage, then walk under the rock arch, at Dusty Bowl |
| White-Striped Basculin | Basculegion | Water/Ghost | Lose at least 294 HP to recoil damage without fainting |
White-Striped Basculin is a Hisuian form that doesn't have "Hisuian" in its name. That is why some lists count 58 forms instead of 57.
How regional forms fit in the Pokédex
A regional form keeps the number of the Pokémon it comes from. It is not a new species, so it does not add to the total. How many Pokémon are there? explains this, and the same goes for Mega Evolutions in the Mega Evolution list.
You can look at any form in the Pokédex, or test your memory of the Pokémon with Guess the Pokémon.
