Pokémon GO boasts a global roster of creatures, many of which are exclusive to specific regions, earning them the title "regional Pokémon." Initially, only a handful existed, but now the number has blossomed into a diverse collection. This guide will introduce you to these regional Pokémon and their locations, helping you complete your Pokédex.

Due to the sheer number of regional Pokémon and their varied habitats, a comprehensive map is impractical. Instead, this guide organizes them chronologically by generation.

Generation Five Pokémon inhabit diverse locations, including Egypt and Greece. This generation showcases a variety of types and habitats.
