Alolan Forms: Regional Variants of Existing Pokémon
Many familiar Pokémon from previous generations received Alolan forms, adapting to the unique environment of the Alola region. These changes often impacted their typing, abilities, and even their appearance.
Some examples include: Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Marowak, Alolan Raichu, Alolan Sandslash, Alolan Vulpix, and Alolan Ninetales. Many more Pokémon received these regional variants; it's recommended to consult a Pokédex for a full list.
What are Alolan Forms and how are they different?
Alolan forms are regional variants of Pokémon, meaning they are the same species but have adapted to the unique climate and environment of the Alola region. This often results in changes to their type, abilities, and even their appearance. For example, Alolan Vulpix is an Ice type, unlike its Kanto counterpart which is Fire type. These adaptations add significant strategic depth to gameplay.
How many Pokémon are there in total in Gen 7?
The exact number of Pokémon in Generation VII depends on how you count Alolan forms. If you consider each Alolan form as a separate Pokémon, the total number is significantly higher than if you count only the base Pokémon. You'll find varied counts online depending on how this distinction is made. It is best to consult a comprehensive Pokédex for the most accurate count.
Where can I find a complete Pokédex for Gen 7?
Various websites and resources online offer comprehensive Pokédexes for Generation VII. Searching for "Pokémon Sun and Moon Pokédex" or similar terms will yield numerous results.
Are there any Pokémon exclusive to Sun or Moon?
Yes, some Pokémon are version-exclusive in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, meaning you'll find certain Pokémon only in one version of the game. This is also true for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, though the exclusives may differ slightly between the original and Ultra versions. To acquire all Pokémon, trading with players who own the opposite version is often necessary.
This article provides a general overview of Pokémon in Generation VII. For a truly exhaustive list and detailed information on individual Pokémon, consulting a dedicated Pokédex is recommended. Happy Pokémon hunting!
