In the thrilling world of Pokémon GO, some of the most intriguing creatures are the regional Pokémon. These unique Pokémon are tied to specific locations around the globe, making them exclusive to certain regions. What started as just one regional Pokémon has now expanded to an impressive collection across multiple generations. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the fascinating world of regional Pokémon, showing you exactly where to travel to catch these coveted creatures.
