Similarly to the Alolan forms in Sun and Moon, Galar has it's own Regional Variants known as the Galarian forms. Unlike Alolan forms, which are exclusive to Generation I’s normal counterparts, Galarian forms also have their normal counterparts from beyond Generation I. Galarian forms even have the evolutions that are exclusive to the previous Generations’ Regional variant counterparts.

Similarly to Sun & Moon, there is also a Rotom PokéDex, but it instead possesses a phone. The phone can be attached to objects, such as bikes, to upgrade them.
