Pokémon Go regional exclusives connect some Pokémon to certain areas of the globe.
With the addition of Gen 5, the latest set of Pokémon Go exclusives arrives – Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Heatmor, Durant – further contributing to an already long list, with regions to be divided according to the most varied geographical barriers, from entire hemispheres to specific parts of individual countries.
Since its launch, the creatures have been blocked in their specific regions, except in some regional events or exchanges.
So, unless you travel a lot – or have Friends willing to trade these Pokémon, then you’ll have to be patient until they reach your country.
On this page, we will look at the entire list of regional exclusives in Pokémon Goas well as giving you all the locations of regional exclusives so you can know where to find them.

Pokémon Go – map of regional exclusives and how they work in Pokémon Go
Each generation of Pokémon has a series of creatures that you can only find in specific regions. These can be certain countries (like Tauros in the USA), entire continents (Mr. Mime in Europe), certain regions (Corsola in the Tropics) and even “halves” of the planet (like Lunatone and Solrock).
These creatures are quite common in their regions, so if you are visiting for a short period of time, it won’t be long before you find them. Finding them in the wild is the only option you have – apart from special events, they cannot be hatched in Eggs, found in nests in gyms.
If you don’t travel, don’t despair. Gen 3 has shown that some creatures can trade occasionally (such as Zangoose and Seviper), simply leave regional exclusivity (Plusle and Minun) or temporarily switch to a special event, such as Farfetch’d in 2017.
