Tentacool and its ecologically similar counterpart, Toedscool, in the anime

Certain Pokémon are described as ecologically similar (Japanese: 生態は似ている ecologically similar) to previously discovered species, but are otherwise completely different Pokémon.

They are sometimes referred to by fans as convergent forms, convergent Pokémon, or convergent species, relating the concept to convergent evolution in biology, or regional fakes, due to their similarity to regional forms, which are different forms of the same Pokémon.
