What are regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are unique creatures that can only be found in specific geographic locations around the world. They foster a sense of community among players, often prompting international travel to encounter these special Pokémon. Due to their widespread distribution, creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is impractical. Instead, we've organized the Pokémon by their generation for your convenience.
