Embark on a global Pokémon adventure! Many Pokémon in the game are region-exclusive, meaning you'll need to travel to specific parts of the world to catch them. While initially there was only a handful, the number of regional Pokémon has significantly expanded. This guide details these elusive creatures and their locations, helping you complete your Pokédex.

Note: Due to the vast number of Pokémon and their diverse habitats, a comprehensive map isn't feasible. Instead, we've organized them chronologically by generation.
