abstract class FormBase

Provides a base class for forms.

This class exists as a mid-point between dependency injection through ContainerInjectionInterface, and a less-structured use of traits which default to using the \Drupal accessor for service discovery.

To properly inject services, override create() and use the setters provided by the traits to inject the needed services.

public static function create($container) {
  $form = new static();
  // In this example we only need string translation so we use the
  // setStringTranslation() method provided by StringTranslationTrait.
  $form->setStringTranslation($container->get('string_translation'));
  return $form;
}

Alternately, do not use FormBase. A class can implement FormInterface, use the traits it needs, and inject services from the container as required.
