There are hundreds of Pokemon in Pokemon GO that players can find from their homes to their workplaces. However, a fraction of these Pokemon can only be found in specific locations around the world. This makes it very difficult for players to find them if they aren't available in their home countries.

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.
