Ranking the Regional Variants Weakest to Strongest 

Hisuian Goodra is woefully underrated. I remember using it in Radical Red by slapping it with an Assault Vest to boost its already amazing Special Defense, and it was quite possibly the MVP on my team with how bulky it was while also being able to hit moderately hard right back. You ask me, it deserves more love and attention.

I hope Feraligatr gains a regional variant someday in the future (Water/Dragon)

Alolan Persian have fake out and Parting shot, Maybe he is not the best regional form but its definitely better than the normal one, and its fun to use.

You should be ranking Cross-Gen evolutions next (Crobat, Politoed, Scizor, Steelix, Weavile, Electivire, Togekiss, Gliscor, Mamoswine, Gallade, Ursaluna, Annihilape, Dudunsparce, Kingambit, etc.)

Kinda hoping Alolan Sandslash woulda bump into pretty good with how his ability Slush rush provided in 2 v 2 battles, but alas it is consider bad by it's typing. I still love it tho.

My favorite Regional Form is still Alolan Marowak

i think cursula it is so underated, i like to use it with assault vest to deal with especial attackers, but i was really surprised that wasnt on the lowest tier because most peaople think its really bad

Interesting ranking Regional variants is a really cool idea!!! sirfetch'd is just so cool, and so badass

There really should be more starters with regional variants. Also, they gave Decidueye the shaft again with its variant.

Persian is just dark not normal dark

Glowking should absolutely be top of phenomenal. Eat moves to the face, hit back, chilly reception into a sweeper, heal with regenerator, repeat.

Alolan raticate over Persian is crazy already

It's always a good day when you get to see the Scott Steiner math

My favorite variants are actually the past Paradox Pokemon (next to alolan Ninetales). My favorite Pokemon of all time, Jigglypuff, finally got useful as Scream Tail. Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, Great Tusk and Slither Wing are cool too

Glad to seee someone else share my disdain for Basculegion, that things monstrous.

Even though he’s bad, I love my boy Alolan Persian. Garfield irl

Samir it was my favorite Pokémon and I lost my mind when it got a Hisuian form. Now I love the Hisuian form more as a fav

3 minutes in, first Pokémon and I'm already angry. Alolan Persian is very good. 😤😤😤

There’s one reason to use Alolan Raticate Cheesing Ultra Necrozma with F. E. SP, AR (Alolan Raticate’s FEAR)

I think Rapidash is definitely better than Wugtrio, and Alolan Persian is better than Raticate for sure.

Convergent, Paradox, and regional evolutions technically aren't regional forms. They are their own Pokémon.

Given that they only had two Paldean Variants. I’m a bit worried they might be phasing out the idea. Then again they could be focusing more on convergent forms.

There's also another move Mr Rime can learn via TM to help with its slow speed. Thunder Wave. Anyways. The only thing that might make me change the ranking of Runerigus and Sirfetched is the requirements for them to evolve. Galarian Yamask needs to have taken a certain amount of damage and then you need to go to a certain part of the Wild Area. As opposed to Galarian Farfetched needing to get 3 critical hits in a battle. Which can be helped by giving it a Leek to hold and teaching it Focus Energy via TM.

Considering that Galarian Rapidash is the sole reason I chose Shield over Sword, I am enraged by your placement of it. It is NOT "horrendous." You just need to strategize and know how to use it. Galarian Rapidash almost single-hooved beat Piers's gym, and was a valuable teammate for Raihan's double battle during my playthrough. Not to mention, aside from Alolan Ninetales, Galarian Rapidash is far more beautiful than anything you ranked in Phenomenal or Banworthy.

Alolan Persian is 1 a pure dark type. And 2 a special attacker. He carries until the end game really well but no it can't finish

20:29 what is that a reference to?

Alolan Raticate is my favorite variant of all, I don’t care if it’s bad and has a 4x weakness. I love it

Perfect timing, was thinking about building a region variant team

Hey Mystic I know you're a busy man, but are we going to get a best team for US/UM No restrictions?

Had to parting shot out when the first pokemon in Horrendous was Alolan Persian smh Y_Y

We need more variants you could do an evee varint an get the evolution that wee dont have yet like bug an ghost an dragon

G Weezing neutralizing gas worked with slaking and regigigas in doubles

22:49 "Despite only 100 Special Attack" Mystic, that's 135... not 100.

I think you missed Annilhilape, a banworthy Pokemon

The fact stiener math was used

18:15 my go to Pokemon for all sv raids. None is better

SN: Gen. 9 had countless lackluster Pokemon.

Where's Galarian Zapdos?

Yay my 2 favourite regional form mons are in phenomenal

Hisui electrode is definitely better than regular electrode. Having stab to hit ground types is definitely better on a fast frail Pokémon.

AlolanPersian is faster than icineroar and is immune to prankster but i geuss

I honestly forgot about Galarian rapidash

Don’t understand how Galarian Rapidash and Alohan Sandslash are both horrendous…

Please have the name of the pokemon you're talking about somewhere on the screen, especially when you don't actually name them sometimes, it's very jarring to watch this while doing literally anything else and have no context on something.

Alolan Persian isn’t normal dark type but it’s still bad regardless

I think that Basculegion is the strongest Regional Varient but Convergent Pokemon shouldn’t count as they are completely different Pokemon who only look like already known Pokemon the Creaters even said they aren’t the same.

Outdated. Sneaseler has been banned recently.

Am I high or did he forget to talk about Ursaluna?!

Hisuian Electrode isn't weak to flying-types so it isn't weak to everything grass is.

I’ve 6-0’d with runerigus before just weakness policy trick room it’s better than it looks

Convergent evolution aren't variants, welcome to another episode of Mystic doesn't know pokemon Edit: Alolan Persian normal and dark? 😂😂😂

when you think about Mystics logic, youd think He would LOVE huisian Electrode. after all, if its not the fastest thing in the pokemon world, its utter crap...

Convergent Pokémon and Paradoxes aren't regional forms

Are we not gonna talk about wiglett line and toadscool line arent regionals and completely different pokes. Convergent evolution is a natural phenomenon best example are sharks and dolphins both evolved a triangular dorsal fin.

It bothers me unnaturally how this guy can't pronounce Purrserker properly

Why persian the ugliest but most lovable variant?

Idk this video is kinda mid for all the mid opinions

Hisuian Electrode does not deserve to be this low. It may not have gotten any changes in stats or abilities, but one shouldn't underestimate how good of a pairing Electric/Grass is. It's the perfect combination for a fast pivot, it can Volt Switch on Grasses and Dragons that resist it and threaten the Grounds that block its switch with Leaf Storm. Alternatively Soundproof gives it the unique niche of being a SubSeeder that isn't countered by sound moves. It's currently sitting in NU, where It's the fastest mon in the tier and competes with Jolteon as an Electric pivot that hits less hard overall but isn't as dependent on Tera

Wugtrio is not a regional variant. It's a different species.

Wugtrio isnt a regional form tho

I didn’t see anyone else comment this, Alolan Persian is a pure dark type, not a dark/normal type

Wugtrio isn't a regional variant

Convergent evolutions and Paradox Pokémon shouldn't be in this video

Alright, using Steiner Math in a Pokémon video wasn't on my 2023 bingo card, but I ain't mad at it.

Electrode-H is awesome tho, it has more stab now

The fact alolan Sandslash and Dugtrio are below Galarian Stunfisk is a sin

Persian is pure Dark. Seems like someone didn't finish their research.

I’ve always felt that Hisuian Lilligant has been slept on. Legit my second fav Pokémon of all time

What about the Convergent forms, theyre basically regional forms that pulled a shadow the hedgehog

I think a-persian is pretty good fast support Pokémon in doubles, fast icy wind and fake out is surprisingly valuable

Words can't describe how happy i am that Samurott got a buff, with his Hisuian form

BTW, Alolan Raichu can also go with tapu lele expanding force

You mentioned Rock polish weakness Policy, I used that on Donphan back in Gen 7!

I kinda feel like we should just go back and rename the Unova pokemon as regional variants. Same with stuff like Bellosom just being a Johtonian Vileplume.

Technically Wugtrio is not a regional variant same with Toedscruel and Sinistcha, The pokedex outright states that they are not regional forms for each of them, it's why they have literally different names

"people like to use alolan muk because it's a solid pokemon" MY GOOD SIR VERY CLEARLY THAT POKEMON IS LIQUID, VISCOUS AT BEST.

Keep up the awesome work and videos love the video

Unburden meaning Acrobatics in Japanese gave me a chuckle. Can those that get the ability use Acrobatics?

gonna be honest and say when i first played Sun and Moon and saw a black colored Meowth i thought it was a rare. at the time i didnt know it was a regional variant

This guy is seriously overestimating Basculegion huh

Talking about Cursola: “base 30 speed isn’t good” Trick Room: *exists*

Gotta the Scott Steiner parts 🤣

Alolan Persian is better than at least Raticate, Dugtrio, Wugtrio, Rapidash, maybe more. It has Fur Coat, then for moves it has Snarl, Switcheroo, Quash, Foul Play, Parting Shot and Knock Off. It's still not great, but it has options.

This mf put Perrserker, Cursola and Galarian Stunfisk OVER Alolan Sandslash? Nah this is a bad joke.

Galarian Corsola, Cursola, and Runerigus should've all been Ghost/Rock types. Johtonian Corsola is part rock type to begin with, the white part of its body the Calcium part of Coral, and it keeps that in it's Galarian form! And with its stat spread being what it is, being an even more fragile glass canon fits Cursola perfectly! (Imagine a Stab boosted Cursola Meteor Beam...) As for Runerigus, Unovan Yammask and Cofagrigus should've been Ghost/Rock or at least Ghost/Steel because Egyptian Sarcophagi were most commonly made of *STONE* or Metal! Though for Cofagrigus's golden color, perhaps Ghost/Steel fits it a bit better. But Runerigus is literally a TOMBSTONE, and to evolve it you have to go under this massive STONE archway in the Dusty Bowl, where lots of ROCK types can be found! Why is Gamefreak so afraid of giving us a Ghost/Rock type? It's not like they haven't given pokemon defensively shitty types before, Looking at you Iron Leaves and your _seven_ weaknesses with one of them being a quad weakness to Bug.

Alolan Persians ability makes it a nice pivot because it got the amazing parting shot, together with toxic and foul play. Just missing knock off and recovery for the full support tank experience, and the dark z move crystal making parting shot a no-downside-healing wish was a ridicoulus aspect tbh. It kinda blanks every physical move very well without much investment and plays to its speed, its a really good designed pokemon.

19:19 Fun way to start the Phenomenal Tier and this is one of those cases with me falling in love with one of my favorite Pokémon all over again! Plus, I love the way you used the Secret Key sound effect from “Super Mario World”.

No hisuian avalug? 😢

I didnt watch this vid jet but i gess number one ursaluna

I can agree with this list.

algorithm B)

Basculegion, Galarian Darmanitan, Hisiuan Sneasel and Sneasler and Alolan Muk are my favorites. Awesome video idea bro.

Cool!!!❤❤

Iron thorns is not a regional variant. He’s a paradox, Pokémon.

I completely forgot that Avalugg would be in the Fan game I want to make if I could make it. Basskely it's Gold and Silver the 2nd remake with all the Reginal forms ever included.

@MysticUmbreon can you please film a series where talk about the best teams for Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness? In the series, you could talk about what are the best Pokémon to add to your team based on what eeveelution you picked. This would make for an awesome video series.

Still waiting for Charizard to be corrected to the fire/dragon type like it should've been from the start. That alone makes all the extra attention justified

Dude the way you pronounce Perrserker should be illegal. It's berserker with a P. And the way you pronounce terastilize is even worse.
