While world travelling would be out of the question for many Pokemon GO players, those who are looking to fill their Pokedex may want to know which Pokemon they won’t be able to find. Some Pokemon even require crossing entire oceans in order to reach them. Every continent in the world has Pokemon that are exclusively available for its place in the world. Some Pokemon are even exclusive to small regions inside single countries making them even rarer than others, so the following are only available in specific areas of the world.
