Julia "Yuuki" Guzairova In the game, there are many Pokémon hidden all around the world. Some of the creatures are exclusive and tied to specific locations, which is why they are called "regional". Initially, there was only one, but as always, things change over time, and now there are not just one or two, but you could say a whole dozen. In this article, we will introduce you to regional Pokémon and tell you where to go to catch the desired creature.
What are regional Pokémon?
These are creatures that are tied to specific parts of the world. To find such a Pokémon, you need to travel to another country or continent. In this way, the game unites not only people but also helps those with shared interests come together and find each other.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to create a Pokémon GO regional map due to the large number of creatures and their habitation in very different locations. Instead, for your convenience, we have arranged the creatures in the order of their chronological appearance in the series.
Generation One

| Mr. Mime | Europe |
| Kangaskhan | Australia |
| Tauros | USA |
| Farfetch'd | Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong |
Generation Two

Unlike the first generation, the second one inhabits less popular countries, though there are fewer of them compared to Pokémon from the first or third generations. Heracross is relatively easy to catch, unlike Corsola, for which certain conditions must be met.

| Heracross | Central and South American regions |
| Corsola | Tropical areas near coastlines, specifically between 31° North latitude and 26° South latitude |
Generation Three

These fighters are distributed across the globe, so if you want to collect all Pokémon, you'll certainly have to embark on a world tour. However, despite the lengthy list, the majority can be found in North and South America, and they don’t require specific conditions like the previous generation.
| Name | Region |
|---|---|
| Volbeat | Europe, Asia, Australia |
| Zangoose | |

Generation Four

This list is not as extensive as the previous one, but it still includes many interesting creatures. As with the previous generation, most of the pocket monsters can be found in Europe, which significantly reduces the list of countries to visit. Furthermore, considering that these Pokémon may inhabit crowded places, the search area is further narrowed down.
| Name | Region |
|---|---|
| Carnivine | USA (Southeast) |
| Pachirisu | Alaska, Canada, Russia |
| Mime Jr. | Europe |
| Mesprit | Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East |
| Azelf | North and South America, Greenland |
| Uxie | Asia-Pacific |

| Shellos | Pink: Western Hemisphere. Blue: Eastern Hemisphere |
