What are regional Pokémon?
Regional Pokémon are unique in that they are found only in specific parts of the world. To capture these elusive creatures, players must travel to different countries or continents, fostering a sense of global community and bringing together enthusiasts from around the world. Unfortunately, due to the vast number of Pokémon and their diverse habitats, creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is impractical. Instead, we've organized these Pokémon by their chronological appearance in the series for your convenience.
