How do the Hisuian Variants stack up compared to their regular versions?

Question

With the release of Hisuian Pokémon in Pokémon GO, it got me thinking about how the Hisuian versions would compare to their regular versions based on stats and typing.

Comments

They're not available to use in Gen 8 competitive,  you want us to theorymon on how good they'd be relative to normal forms?

---

I don't think theory based questions such as this one are allowed.

---

If basing it not off competitive, but solely off stats, typing, and abilities is allowed, do that.

---

In that case, what exactly do you mean by "comparison"? Do you just want a list of differences in their types, abilities, and stats, or something else?

---

Yes please.
