What are regional Pokémon?
Regional Pokémon are special creatures that can only be found in certain parts of the world. To catch them, you might need to pack your bags and travel to different countries or continents. This feature not only enhances the adventure aspect of the game but also fosters a sense of community among players who share similar interests and goals.
Creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is challenging due to the vast number of creatures and their diverse habitats. To assist you in your quest, we've organized the regional Pokémon by their generational appearance in the series.
