I was okay with Alolan Meowth in General, and I liked Alolan Persian Competitively (Outside of memes, I hated its big head), but I loved Galarian Meowth and Perrserker so much. I would like to see more regional variants be subversions to their lines like that in the future.
I think Meowth is probably going to be the only one that gets reoccuring formes moving forward at least, but if I had to choose more, it would be the following:
Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio: I liked the lore behind them and I love steel types, but the steel type on this one felt like a hindrance. It's nice that it was technically a fast steel type, but the fact that it's slower than regular Dugtrio + the fact that it lost Arena trap made it not that viable. I kinda wish the Steel type wasn't used yet, because my suggestion would've probably been a Whack a Mole type deal, and Subverting the Dugtrio with a Perrserker/Runerigusesque evolution.
Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash: I love Steel types (it's pretty obvious by now), and I kinda like how Sandshrew/Sandslash got the Ice Type since you can think of snow as cold sand, but the typing was also a curse for it defensively. 4x Fire and Fighting weakness is pretty harsh, and its abilities are Hail reliant, and Hail isn't the best weather to synergize a team around. In terms of an alternative forme, a Ground/Grass Ground/Psychic regional variant could be fun if you use the Sandman concept of Sandshrew using its sand to put people to sleep (sleep powder and stuff). Actually I sorta want that now.
