Regional Pokémon are unique creatures that can only be found in specific regions of the world. This feature of Pokémon GO not only adds an exciting challenge but also brings together players with shared interests, fostering a global community. Unfortunately, due to the vast number and varied locations of these Pokémon, creating a comprehensive regional map is impractical. Instead, we've organized them by their generational appearance to make your search easier.
