Hi Orange, since you originated from Kanto, have you heard that most Pokémon that you're familiar with, found pacifically in the Alola, Galar and Paldea regions that look completely different from there original counterparts. These are called Regional Forms, also known as Regional Variants, meaning they had to adapt a new typing, in order to survive in it's new environment. For example, in Alola, Vulpix and Ninetales gains the Ice-typing to thrive in the snowy mountains of that region, in Galar, Meowth gains the Steel-typing and has an exclusive regional evolution called Perrserker (Galarian Persian doesn't exist for some reason). In Paldea, Tauros gains the Fighting-typing and has two exclusive fire and water type breed forms (Paldean Miltank also doesn't exist for some reason).

Regional forms is pretty much Divergent evolution in the Pokémon universe.

However in Paldea, there a few Pokémon that were once classified as a regional forms but later identified as an entirely different species all together. These are called Convergent Pokémon, also known as Convergent Forms or Regional Fakes by others. For example: Tentacool is a jellyfish while Toedscool (Ground/Fungus) is a fungus (pacifically the wood ear fungus) and Diglett is a mole while Wiglett (Water) is an eel (pacifically the garden eel).

Also noticed how both of mons have very similar names and completely different types compared to there species that they evolved from. You'll probably guess what there evolutions are called by naming convention wise!

In a nutshell, we have land Tentacool and water Diglett. How fascinating!

Hey, sorry it took me so long t'answer this. THAT'S SO COOL!!! I especially love Alolan Vulpix an' Ninetales, 'cuz I got a Vulpix o'my own! Her name's Tails an' she's a sweetie, doesn't like t'battle, but she's an amazin' cuddle buddy! Her warm fur's great when it gets cold here in Sinnoh...it's SO COLD here in winter! Oh...I'm gettin' off track, sorry. Ummm...what else t'say...OH YEAH! Thanks for tellin' me 'bout these cool Pokémon!
