Pokemon Go regionals list: Where to find these exclusive Pokemon

If you’re trying to complete the Pokemon Go Pokedex without any help, then it isn’t going to happen unless you’re a keen traveler. Various species from each generation can only appear in certain regions across the world. These are known as regional exclusives.

If you really are going to complete the Pokemon Go Pokedex by yourself then traveling is your only option. However, there is another method, which is getting those regionals by trading.

This, of course, does cost precious Stardust. If you are going to get them via trading, then try and make sure you’re Best Friends or live close to each other, as this will give you a big discount.

Special regional events

Sometimes Niantic creates Pokemon Go events that let you catch previous unobtainable regional exclusives. These events are only temporary however.

For example, the Gen 1 regional exclusives could all be found in eggs as part of the second week of the Ultra Bonus Rewards from GO Fest 2019. There are other examples too, and there will almost certainly be future opportunities as well.
