What are regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are unique creatures that can only be found in specific parts of the world. To encounter and capture these Pokémon, trainers must travel to the designated regions or countries.

While creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is impractical due to the vast number of creatures and their varied habitats, we've organized them by their generational appearance in the series for your convenience.
