Mega Rayquaza being able to Mega Evolve without a Mega Stone.
Mega Raichu being the only regional form with an exclusive Z-Move (not counting the original forms of Alolan Firts partner Pokémon).
Galarian Darmanitan being the only regional form with a form change.
Galarian Slowpoke being the only regional form to have a branched evolutionary family, not counting Hisuian Basculin who only evolves into one of two forms.
Hisuian Basculin being the only regional form to go by a different name and also be natively available in a different region (Kitakami).
Paldean Tauros being the only regional form with breeds.
Iron Valiant being the only Paradox Pokémon to be a combination of two different species of Pokémon.
Poltchageist and Sinistcha being the first ecologically similar Pokémon where their design and naming scheme are in reverse.
So it would make sense for Game Freak to introduce the first Pokémon to evolve in a branched evolutionary line to evolve even further.
