I wanna say Finneon and Lumineon in generation 4, but then Idk about generation 2. Gen 2 had a lot of one off fish pokemon, like Mantine and Qwilfish etc, but those dont count I guess. Gen 5 had Basculin, and Idek about the rest.

If you mean fish Pokemon with base stat totals of 200 that evolve into serpent Pokemon with base stat totals of 540, the only ones are Magikarp and Feebas. By the way, Magikarp and Feebas are both native to multiple regions, so they aren't really "regional".

Can we just retitle this question so it's asking what all of the fish pokemon are? There's not really a "regional fish evolution pokemon" so pretty much all the answers can do is just list every fish pokemon.

Honestly I only started playing Pokemon in early 2022 (Legends Arceus) and I haven't seen a lot of "fish Pokemon", but I encountered some while shiny hunting in SV. I tried my best!

Arrokuda evolves into Barraskewda
White-Striped Basculin evolves into Basulegion
Barboach evolves into Whiscash
Finneon evolves into Lumineon

Out of my 4-year Pokemon journey, those are honestly the only evolution-capable "fish Pokemon" except for Magikarp, Gyarados, Feebas, and Milotic. I hope this helped! :)

WAITTT I realized this is old. Oh. :(

The question was never very clear, so we can't really say any of these answers are right or wrong. I could hide it for not responding to clarifying questions.

One or the other, imo.

I'm going to rephrase the title. If we can find any way to avoid hiding questions (especially old ones) then we should go for that. It's still a little bit vague but I think we need to get over being so anal.

It really depends on what you mean by "regional fish Pokemon". Some generations have multiple Pokemon based on a fish, and I would argue that Goldeen/Seaking (for example) are even more the regional fish Pokemon than Magikarp/Gyarados.

Here are all the Pokemon that are clearly based on fish. I have only included Pokemon that follow the standard fish body type, so there will be no Skrelp or anything here, although they can be argued to be a kind-of fish. The one in Bold is the evolution line I consider to most be the "regional fish Pokemon."

Generation I

  • Goldeen --> Seaking
  • Magikarp --> Gyarados

Generation II

  • Chinchou --> Lanturn
  • Qwilfish
  • Remoraid --> Octillery

Generation III

  • Carvanha --> Sharpedo
  • Barboach --> Whiscash (I didn't consider this to be the regional fish, simply because I find them completely forgettable)
  • Feebas --> Milotic (Since Miltoic is not really a fish, I again didn't consider it to be the best regional fish Pokemon)
  • Huntail/Gorebyss
  • Luvdisc

Generation IV

  • Finneon --> Lumineon

Generation V

  • Basculin
  • Alomomola

Generation VI

Kalos doesn't really have one (Skrelp/Dragalge are probably the closest).

How many of them count as "fish evolution" Pokemon depends on several things. Does Golisopod look enough like a fish? Is 220 enough of an increase?

Yes, those famous fishes of Lucario, Thievul and Melmetal.
