Corsola isn't considered a regional?
Let me tell you a little story:
I live in a place far away from Corsola's spawns. This summer I went to Brazil for 2 weeks. I was in Buzios, Rio and Sao Paulo...Corsola's were nowhere to be found. I've found one in Lima, Perú while traveling back home. I traded one of them to a friend (We were ultra friends at the time), that trade costs us 1.600 Stardust. Corsola isn't considered a regional species?

I think the confusion stems from a misunderstanding of what constitutes a special trade vs a regular one. Four conditions fall under special trade:
- shiny Pokemon
- legendary Pokemon
- unregistered Pokemon
- unregistered forms/cosmetics (Spinda patterns, Hatchus, etc.)
For most people, unregistered Pokemon is pretty exclusive to regionals. If someone traded me a Pachirisu the trade would be special because I don't have it registered. If someone traded me a Huntail it would be special despite not being regional because I don't have it registered (I didn't get to partake in Clamperl weekend due to family matters).
However, if someone were to trade me a Kangaskhan it would be a regular trade despite being regional because I have it registered. Regional status has no effect on a trade being special; what makes them special trades is that 90% of the time they're being given to someone who doesn't have it registered yet.
