Fire/rock is a cool typing tbh, maybe Hisuian Arcanine looks more like Komaniu?
Fire/Rock is a type that's probably better for a faster attacker than for something slow like Magcargo so i'm optimistic for whatever Husuian Growlithe evolves into.

Solid Rock sounds more appropriateWell, as long as "Hisuian Growlithe" & "Hisuian Arcanine" has something similar to "Solid Rock" or "Filter", the weakness because of Fire/Rock typing shouldn't be an issue.
Well, be it "Hisuian Arcanine" or an alternate Evolution (like Perrserker & Runerigus), it would have a BST of 555 like "Kantonian Arcanine".Fire/Rock is a type that's probably better for a faster attacker than for something slow like Magcargo so i'm optimistic for whatever Husuian Growlithe evolves into.
Some of my thoughts:Hisuian Arcanine Fire/Rock is what I hope
Aside from that, it's hard to guess ^^;
- Phanpy / Donphan as Ice/Ground, now as whooly mammoths
- Hoothoot / Noctowl as Ice/Psychic, now as snowy owls
- Dunsparce as Normal/Poison
- Swablu / Altaria as Electric/Dark, now as thunderclouds
- Doduo / Dodrio as Electric/Ground, now as roadrunners
Well, be it "Hisuian Arcanine" or an alternate Evolution (like Perrserker & Runerigus), it would have a BST of 555 like "Kantonian Arcanine".
And because it is said that "Hisuian Growlithe" is territorial and doesn't like to lose the Rock formation on its body (which is fragile), i get the feeling its evolution would be more defense oriented unlike "Kantonian Arcanine", which is more attack oriented.
So, i see a drop in Atk, S.Atk & Spd stats (110/100/95), while increase in HP, Def & S.Def (90/80/80) for the evolution of "Hisuian Growlithe".
Some of my thoughts:
- Mamoswine exists, so I doubt they will go with that route for the Phanpy line.
- I would LOVE a snowy owl.
- Dunsparce has always been assumed to evolve into a feathered dragon for some reason.
- Cool idea for Swablu. Making it really wild before it got so cute and fluffy.
- Would be funny if the Doduo line actually had wings before.
The Farfetch’d of the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch'd after experiencing many battles.
In the Hisui region, Stantler can evolve into Wyrdeer.
Basculin in the Hisui region can evolve into this Pokémon.
- Mamoswine is a boar, and I'd like an actual mammoth
I hope it isn't the case, but I wouldn't rule out Hisuian forms for Stantler and Basculin.
The wording used on the official site for Wyrdeer and Basculegion are very similar to the wording that was used on Sirfetch'd's page for SwSh.
It is intentionally vague, but since Sirfetch'd's page didn't explicitly mention it evolving from Galarian Farfetch’d, Game Freak may have done the same with Wyrdeer and Basculegion.
Except Basculegion looks to much like it evolves from a normal Basculin for it to really evolve from a regional variant of Basculin.I hope it isn't the case, but I wouldn't rule out Hisuian forms for Stantler and Basculin.

How many Pokemon based on domestic dogs and cats do we have?Some of my thoughts:
- Mamoswine exists, so I doubt they will go with that route for the Phanpy line.
Mamoswine and Hisuian Donphan would both be Ice/Ground... with similar designs, so I can understand the concern, and we've seen Pokémon being hybrids of different things, such as Mamoswine being a mix of an elephant and a boar. To answer your question:How many Pokemon based on domestic dogs and cats do we have?
How many butterflies?
How many foxes?
How many owls?
How many elephants?
So Mamoswine is irrelevant to the existence of a possible new mammoth Pokémon/Regional Form
And before you say "but those are different species of owl/butterfly/etc" there were several species of Mammoth, *three* of which lived in North America alone

I cannot believe you didn't mention "birds", because there are several, especially of the Normal/Flying type XD
- Dogs? Growlithe, Snubbull, Houdour, Smeargle, Lillipup, Electrike, Furfrou and Yamper (8; actual dog breeds)
- Cats? Meowth, Skitty and Glameow (3; actual cat breeds)
- Butterflies? Butterfree, Beautify and Vivillon (3)
- Foxes? Vulpix, Zorua and Nickit (3)
- Owls? Hoothoot and Rowlet (2)
- Elephants? Phanpy and Cufant (2)
Espurr I forgot... but Purloin is a leopard and Litten is a tiger, not actual cats ^^;Cats: Purloin, Espurr, Litten.
and Litleo, Shinx and sorta Mew too. Not sneasel as it's a weasel but I'll give a mention since I used think it was cat based.Cats: Purloin, Espurr, Litten.
1. Leopards and tigers are cats, just not domesticated.Espurr I forgot... but Purloin is a leopard and Litten is a tiger, not actual cats ^^;
The same applies to Lynxes and Lions, so Shinx and Litleo should count too.1. Leopards and tigers are cats, just not domesticated.
My point is that it would feel kinda redundant design wise and type-wise as suggested. I'm not saying it cannot and it would not happen.How many Pokemon based on domestic dogs and cats do we have?

When it comes to the Alolan forms, Game Freak seems to have focused on adding types that either were rare (Fairy, Dragon, Ghost) or not represented at all among the Gen I pokémon (Steel and Dark). In a sense, the Alolan forms may have been designed with LGPE in mind, so that all types get represented even with a limited pokédex.If you think about it, most regional forms gain a dark type. Then followed by ice, psychic and steel types.
For example:
Rattata, AlolanMeowth, Grimer, Zigzagoon, Moltres (Dark).
Raichu. Ponyta. Artícuno. Braviary. (Psychic).
Sandshrew. Vulpix. MrMime. Darumaka. (Ice).
Diglett, Sandshrew, Galarian Meowth, Stunfisk (Steel).
Ninetales, Rapidash, Weezing. (Fairy).
Marowak, Corsola. (Ghost).
Farfetch'd. Zapdos. (Fighting).
Geodude (Electric), Exeggutor (Dragón), Marowak (Fire), Yamask (Ground), Slowpoke, (Poison), Growlithe (Rock).
So there are no regional form pokemon that get a grass, water, bug, flying or normal-type.
What pokemon do you think can get any of these types?
