Does every region have a regional fish (e.g. Magikarp, Feebas)?

Question

Im trying to say like Magikarp that evovles to Gyarados
Feebas evolves into Miltoic

Both are weak fish Pokemon that evolve once and become much more powerful.

what others from the regions are like this that are fish

Comments

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.

Answer 1

Another outdated question bet!

Gen 1
Magikarp-> Gyradoes
Goldeen-> Seaking
Gen 2

Comments

They are fish but if think regional they don’t feel regional you know what I mean. And chi-yu is a legendary gold fish

---

Oh ok (filler)

Answer 2

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).

Corsola is not a fish

True. I have fixed it :)

I just love the detail, Meloetta!

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?

Comments

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

---

I said these are the Pokemon that raise their stats a lot when they evolve. I didn't say all of them were fish.

---

Wasn’t these supposed to be only fish mon in every region not stats and other shenanigans

---

"what others from the regions are like this THAT ARE FISH" edit your answer please (:

---

@Stoutland Fizz decided to edit the question to ask for fish Pokemon that become much more powerful when they evolve, not just the fish Pokemon in each region.
@Freggles Do you think Golisopod is a fish?

---

@sumwun I have no idea. I just know that loads of your Pokémon are not fish when OP was looking for fish

---

^^^^^^^

---

They fish! A lot of these aren’t the fishes!

---

When other people post bare-minimum answers, they get asked where they got that information. When I show my work, I get told the information is irrelevant.

---

Sometimes not all the numbers that show up in the question are supposed to be used in the final answer. That's how they get you, man.

---

"Both are weak **fish** Pokemon that evolve once and become much more powerful.

what others from the regions are like this THAT ARE FISH"

You've put loads of non-fishes on your list, so everyone is blasting you.

Suggestion: clarify that you are only listing Pokemon that get boosted stats, not fishes, and then emphasise the ones that are / could be fish

---

Maybe we should add you guys to the answer the way you're being baited so hard. This is the best answer I've ever seen.

---

Lamooo

---

Tsareena could be a fish. Who are you to say she isn't?

---

remove all the non-fishes. i dont understand how you dont understand that OP wanted FISH

---

i think sumwun's answer is perfect. he clearly understands that OP wants fish, he just leaves it up to OP to decide what a fish is, which is what he addresses at the end of the answer. is quagsire a fish? what about cloyster? why or why not? can you truly define them as fish or not if they're fictional creatures? you guys really need to work on your reading comprehension.
