With Pokémon Sword & Shield set to release in 2019 many people are wondering if the new Galar Region will be home to different forms of familiar pokémon. In the last generation’s Pokémon Sun & Moon, players were able to find and catch Alola forms of Kanto native pokémon that looked different and in some cases were a different type as well.

If the new games do indeed have Galar forms then they’ll likely be the first-generation pokémon who didn’t get an Alola form. Let’s look at the 10 Kanto region pokémon who should get a Galar form in Pokémon Sword & Shield.

10 Growlithe

England and the surrounding United Kingdom have just as strong a connection and fascination with dogs as the United States does. Growlithe is one of the most adorable pokémon found in the Kanto region and his evolution, which we’ll get to later, screams royalty.

He’s a fluffy loyal companion whose warm fur can keep you cozy throughout all of the gloomy weather. He also makes a good guard dog and will go on walks with you throughout the Galar region. Just make sure you have the energy to keep up.

9 Dratini

Dragons, fairies, and ocean creatures are all fantasy subjects that have strong ties and origins connected to both England and the United Kingdom. The Galar region itself will likely be home to numerous dragon, water, and fairy-types so it’d make sense that Dratini receives a Galar form that gives it a dragon/fairy typing.

The addition of fairy to its typing could take the adorable creature and crank its cuteness through the roof. The dual-typing will also give it new life in the competitive battling scene.

8 Jynx

Jynx is a pokémon most people block out of their mind due to it originally being a mildly racist design and in general, is just offputting. Over the years England has produced diva pop-stars, musicians, and actors and Jynx reads as that type of personality. Its design is a mixture of diva and female Viking armor.

It might not be the Kanto pokémon the Galar region is most proud of having a regional form of, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. Everyone needs a second chance in life, and Jynx is the perfect candidate.

7 Pidgeot

Pigeons are a nuisance that England and the rest of the United Kingdom have dealt with for decades. Most people see them as rats with wings, which is odd considering birds aren’t often recognized as vermin. The Pidgey evolution line is based on pigeons, which is pretty obvious due to the naming convention.

Most Kanto trainers began their journey with a Pidgey and a good number of them would train them into Pidgeot despite it being a lackluster battler. Pidgeot’s Galar form could give the bird a second typing like rock, and a more formidable visual look.

6 Machamp

Machamp was recently seen directing traffic in Detective Pikachu as a contributing member to the Ryme City community. Though it hasn’t been confirmed, many people believe Ryme City is in the Galar region as it’s strongly based on England’s city of London.

Many of the Alola forms gave pokémon a second type that removed a major weakness from their original typing. If Machamp receives the same treatment look for it to take on either psychic or fairy to help make it an even more formidable fighter.

5 Scyther

Any chance that’s provided to include Scyther in getting an upgrade or new looks is one that should always be taken. When people discuss the coolest looking pokémon Scyther is always brought up at some point.

When people thought he couldn’t get any cooler he received an evolution in Scizor that is somehow cooler and more effective in battle. England has ties to both dragons and bugs, so a new Galar form for the pokémon that’s a mash-up of both seems like the perfect thing to include in the new games.

4 Rhydon

The first pokémon ever created and put into Pokémon Red & Blue could use a new coat of paint. For a creature based on rhinos, it receives way less love then you think it would. It often gets overlooked simply because it doesn’t have an interesting, cool, or cute design. It’s not bad, but it just doesn’t do anything noteworthy.

Giving it and Rhyhorn a Galar form would allow the designers to spruce up a classic pokémon. Typing on Rhydon could stay the same, but adding some flair or morphing it closer to a real rhino might be just enough change.

3 Fearow

With it’s large open-fields England’s most associated animals tend to be birds and sheep. It’s a country that features a lot of beautiful greenery with plenty of natural habitats for creatures to live and thrive.

Fearow is a large aggressive bird pokémon that’s often seen as Pidgeot’s inferior but that doesn’t mean a new Galar form couldn’t give the overlooked Fearow a new lease on life. Keeping it flying but adding the typing of dark or fairy could either reinforce it’s intimidating design or make it a more approachable pokémon.

2 Dragonite

Whether its Game of Thrones or another fantasy story, many characters who interact with dragons in fiction tend to carry English accents. The country’s history is so old that dragons are often associated with it as ancient folktales that are mostly understood as being make-believe, but some feel that there could have been dragons during the age of dinosaurs.

Dragonite is a friendly dragon pokémon who’s often tasked with being a messenger. A more intimidating or aggressive Galar form could turn this clumsy goofball into a serious force to be reckoned with.

1 Arcanine

Arcanine is a large and powerful creature who can come across as royalty and elegance. The United Kingdom, which the Galar region is based, has a long history of kings, queens, and royalty so giving such a majestic creature a Galar form would make complete sense.

The United Kingdom also tends to be on the cooler side temperature-wise, so if the design makes Arcanine bluer in overall tone then a switch to ice as its type would make a lot of sense. Very few pokémon give off the royal vibes that Arcanine does.
