Pokémon GO: All Regional Exclusives & Where To Find Them

Quick Links

Pokémon GO features over 800 different Pokémon, and to complete the Pokédex, Trainers need to keep track of a list of Regional Exclusive Pokémon. Most of the pocket monsters featured in Pokémon GO appear just about anywhere, but others are locked to specific countries, regions, and biomes. With the absence of long-range Pokémon Trading, traveling the world is the only way to really catch them all.

Each Generation of Pokémon games is represented in Pokémon GO, and luckily, most of the 854 Pokémon featured will appear regardless of the player's location. This includes appearing in various Raid Battles, during events, hatched from Eggs, or just out in the local area waiting for Trainers to stumble across them. However, there are also Regional Exclusive Pokémon from each Generation.

The Best Ways To Catch Regional Pokémon

Travel, Trade Or Wait For Events

Travel is perhaps the most obvious way to catch Regional Exclusive Pokémon; however, this isn't an option for everyone. As such, Regional Exclusive Pokémon can be a headache for collectors. However, as YouTube creator Poké Daxi highlighted in his video, trading with friends and global events offer alternative ways to find regional Pokémon.

Trainers should note that trading on a global scale isn't currently a feature of Pokemon GO; instead, trading must be between friends within 100 meters of each other. However, Trainers with a big social circle may know others who travel and are willing to trade their rare Pokémon.

The game has also featured many different global events during which previous Regional Exclusive Pokémon have appeared in places outside their usual habitats. As such, for avid Pokémon GO players, keeping track of ongoing and events is essential.
