Region-exclusive Pokémon

Region-exclusive Pokémon, also known as regional Pokémon, are group of Pokémon that are exclusive for specific regions in the real world and are normally available only in these regions. The majority of regional Pokémon can be caught in the wild in its specific region, but some may also be hatched from Pokémon Eggs obtained in those regions. Some Raid Bosses are also Region-exclusive.

During many events, region-exclusive Pokémon can appear outside of their usual region. Sometimes those were just small regions – Pokémon GO Safari Zone, but other times these migrations occur globally – World Tourism Day.
