What are Regional Pokémon?

Regional Pokémon are creatures tied to specific geographic locations. Catching them requires venturing to different countries or continents, making the game a truly global experience that connects players with shared interests. Due to the sheer number of regional Pokémon and their diverse habitats, a comprehensive map is impossible. Instead, we've organized them chronologically by generation.

Generation One

Generation One Pokémon are relatively widespread, often found in populated areas like shopping centers, halls, and cinemas.

Generation Two

Generation Two Pokémon inhabit less common areas than their predecessors. While fewer in number than Gen I or III, finding some, like Corsola, requires specific environmental conditions.

Generation Three

A global quest awaits! Generation Three Pokémon are scattered worldwide, making a world tour almost essential for completion. However, the majority reside in North and South America, and most don't require specific environmental conditions.

Generation Four

While smaller than Generation Three, this list still holds exciting finds. Many are concentrated in Europe, simplifying your search. Their tendency to inhabit populated areas further narrows the hunting grounds.

Generation Five

Generation Five Pokémon showcase a diverse range of habitats, extending to locations like Egypt and Greece. The varied types and locations make this generation a truly global challenge.

Generation Six

Generation Six features a smaller number of regional Pokémon than Generation Five. These creatures are scattered across the globe, requiring targeted travel to complete your collection.

Generation Seven

These Pokémon are true globetrotters! Generation Seven offers a diverse range of locations, ensuring that no matter your travel plans, you're likely to encounter one of these fascinating creatures.

Generation Eight

Generation Eight introduces only Stonjourner. To add this unique Pokémon to your collection, explore the United Kingdom's countryside.
