Embark on a global Pokémon adventure! Many Pokémon in the game are region-exclusive, meaning you'll need to travel to specific parts of the world to catch them. While initially only a handful existed, the number of regional Pokémon has now blossomed into a sizable collection. This guide details these special Pokémon and their locations, helping you plan your Pokémon GO expeditions.
Unfortunately, a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is impractical due to the sheer number and diverse locations. Instead, we've organized these Pokémon chronologically by generation for easier navigation.
