What are regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are creatures that can only be found in specific regions around the world. To catch these unique Pokémon, players might need to travel to different countries or continents. This feature not only adds an adventurous element to the game but also fosters a global community of players with shared interests. Due to the vast number and varied locations of these Pokémon, creating a comprehensive Pokémon GO regional map is impractical. Instead, we've organized them by their chronological appearance in the series for your convenience.
