Tauros, Tropius, and Kangaskhan are among the very special regional monsters in Pokémon GO. Because you won’t find them everywhere in the world. We show you where to catch all regional Pokémon.
Why do people search for regional Pokémon? The biggest challenge in Pokémon GO is completing your PokéDex. This means you should have caught every Pokémon available in the game at least once. Some monsters can only be found in specific places around the world. For example, to stumble upon a Tauros in the wild, you must be traveling in North America as a trainer.
In this overview, we show you all regional Pokémon and explain where you can find them. While these may not be the best attackers in Pokémon GO, they are definitely eye-catchers in your collection.
