==In the core series games==
===Generation IX===
A total of four Paldean forms were introduced in [[Generation IX]].

Unlike previous games, the player can breed Pokémon anywhere in [[Picnic]]s and are not limited to specific areas of the region. Should the player have [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, they are able to obtain the regular non-Paldean forms of Paldean Pokémon by breeding the Paldean forms without an [[Everstone]] outside of Paldea. In addition to this, Johtonian Wooper is available in the wild in [[Kitakami]] and Kantonian Tauros is available in the wild in the [[Terarium]].

In addition, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduced the [[ecologically similar Pokémon]] lines: the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs heavily resemble the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. Despite their similar appearances, these Pokémon are not regional forms, as their [[Pokédex]] entries confirm them to be separate species. Their resemblance to pre-existing Pokémon may be inspired by the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}.

Generation IX also introduced the [[Paradox Pokémon]], which are also considered to be a separate species of Pokémon despite resembling existing species, though they are theorized to be related to those species in some way.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
On November 5, 2023, [[Paldea]]n {{p|Wooper}} and {{p|Clodsire}} debuted in Pokémon GO as part of Wooper's [[Community Day]], with Paldean Wooper having the potential to be found in the wild during and after the event. After the Community Day, it could also be found in 7 km Eggs.
