Yeah like I said, Sword joins the few since it's not as common as you'd think in this franchise. Though yeah, Raikou's definitely counts.

And I wouldn't count Leon's purely because his first iteration is very much a variant based on his emotions. Meanwhile he ends up getting one more in line with how Garo normally looks after everything's in check. With Alfonso being the real first case of "See this is how Garo is supposed to look".
