In Pokemon Sun & Moon, you can breed your Pokemon in the Alola or Galar Form. If you have an Everstone, you can give it to your father or mother and the Pokemon hatching from them will match the parent’s original form. But you cannot breed them in the Sword & Shield. This is a problem for many people, but this is not a problem for Pokemon Sun & Moon.

Limitations to breeding alolan forms
There are certain Pokemon that cannot be bred with their alternate forms. These Pokemon are known as Alola Forms. You cannot breed them with standard form Pokemon, which means you cannot breed them with any other type of Pokémon. The exception is Ditto, who can breed with either type of Pokemon. The egg must be laid by a non-Ditto parent. This egg must contain Everstone. If you do not have Everstone in your inventory, you will need to get it from the Stamina Digging Duo brother.
Alolan Pokemon cannot pass on their abilities to non-Alolan children. However, a parent of the same species can pass on an ability to their offspring. The same is true for Ditto, but he cannot pass down his ability to his offspring. There are some limitations to breeding Alolan forms. For starters, it’s possible to breed normal Pokemon with Alolan forms.
Transferring alolan forms to Sword and Shield
During the transfer process, players must remember to enter their Pokemon’s original Pokedex in Sword and Shield. Unless you have a copy of the original Pokemon game, this can be a difficult process. If you are unsure whether you have the correct form, you can always use the Pokemon HOME method. Then, you can transfer your Alolan forms to Sword and Shield.
As stated, Pokemon Sword and Shield supports all core series forms. However, if you breed your Pokemon in the Galar Region, they will hatch in their native Sword & Shield form. This means that if you have Alolan Raichu, he will hatch as a normal Raichu, while if you bred him in the Isle of Armor, you will get a Galarian Farfetch’d. To retain the other forms, you must obtain a rare item.
Pokemon not native to the Galar region can be transferred to Sword and Shield if you have Everstone on their hands. If your Pokemon is female and is breeding with Ditto, it will have the same type as the Galarian form. However, it won’t be possible to transfer Alolan Raichu to Sword and Shield if your Pokemon’s original form isn’t Galarian. If you are looking to transfer your Alolan Raichu to Sword and Shield, you must have evolved it in the previous game.
Shiny alolan forms
Pokemon Go is celebrating three years of gameplay with the addition of new Shiny Alolan Forms. These Pokemon include Rattata, Sandshrew, Vulpix, Diglett, Meowth, Geodude, and more. They are regional variants of the original Kanto and Sun Pokemon. Originally, Alolan forms were developed when Kantonian Pokemon migrated to the tropical land of Alola. To survive, Alolan Pokemon needed to adapt to the new climate, as well as protect themselves from predators.
The Alolan Exeggutor is a bright yellow color and can only be found by fighting it in raid battles. The chances of finding one of these shiny Pokemon are still 1 in 500, but the likelihood of hatching one is improved if you can catch an Alolan Exeggutor. A Shiny Pikachu may be rare – every shiny Pikachu with a hat is.
Both Alolan and Kanto Pokemon can be bred. You can also breed non-Galarian Pokemon with their Alolan counterparts. Breeding an Alolan Meowth with a Kantonian Meowth will produce an Alolan Meowth Egg, and vice versa. If you’re not careful, you’ll have a Moonball Kanto Sandshrew in no time.
