What are regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are special creatures that can only be found in specific parts of the world. To catch these Pokémon, you might need to travel to different countries or continents, turning your gaming adventure into a real-world journey. This aspect of the game not only fosters a sense of community among players but also brings together individuals with shared interests.

Creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is challenging due to the vast number of Pokémon and their diverse locations. Therefore, we've organized them by their generational appearance to make your search easier.
