What are regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are unique in that they can only be found in specific geographic regions. To catch one, you might need to embark on a journey to a different country or continent. This feature of the game not only fosters a sense of global community among players but also encourages travel and exploration. Unfortunately, due to the vast and varied locations where these Pokémon reside, creating a comprehensive regional map is not feasible. Instead, we've organized the Pokémon by their chronological appearance in the series for your convenience.

Generation One

Generation Two

The second generation's regional Pokémon are found in less common locales compared to the first and third generations. While Heracross can be caught with relative ease, Corsola requires specific conditions to be met, typically found in tropical areas near coastlines.

Generation Three

The third generation's regional Pokémon are spread across the world, requiring a global tour to catch them all. Most are found in North and South America and don't have the stringent conditions seen in the previous generation.

Generation Four

While not as extensive as the third generation, the fourth generation still offers a variety of interesting Pokémon. Many can be found in Europe, narrowing down the list of countries you need to visit. These Pokémon often inhabit crowded places, making the search more manageable.
