Sure, I'll submit this one since no one has yet.
Name: Regional Forme
Description: This is a CAP that is a regional (Galarian) forme / evolution of a previous CAP.
Explanation: As I previously said, I think that this submission is a little inevitable. We've seen Game Freak go and revamp older Pokemon in the past two generations through regional formes, with some providing true buffs to viability. Whether it's differing typing, like addition of the dark type to Alolan-Muk, or an active change in ability for the better, like Gorrila Tactics on Galarian-Darmantian, there's options to explore here. With CAPs now having an extensive list of creations, there are a number of Pokemon that could use a REgional forme or even regional evolution.
Now I'm not going to beat around the bush with this submission, it's pretty limited. If we follow with the trend of how Game Freak creates regional formes, we would essentially pick a former CAP, change its typing, slightly adjust its stats (G-Corsola), review its movepool and add and remove things as necessary, and that would essentially be it from a competitive standpoint. However, in that rather simplistic process, there's a lot of opportunity for depth. I'll go over these in the "Questions to be Answered" stage.
Questions to be Answered:
- Which CAPs could fill an entirely different niche with a single change to its in-game notes? (a la Slowking vs. G-Slowking)
- To that end, how different can we make a CAP competitively when compared to its base forme?
- Would making a final form CAP a prevo stage with a new evolution be an interesting concept? (Mr. Mime vs. G-Mr. Mime)
- Are there any CAPs that would be inadvertently buffed through a single change in typing? (A-Muk)
- Are there any specific changes / buffs / nerfs that Game Freak hasn't explored with regards to Regional Formes?
- Would a regional evolution of a previous CAP work to improve or change a competitive niche of an existing CAP? (Obstagoon, Perserker, Mr. Rime)
Again, I acknowledge that this would be a very limited process, but it's a neat Framework that could be fun to explore.
