Let’s start with…
Where do you get regional Pokémon in Japan?
If you’re in Japan and looking to catch regional Pokémon, here are my general tips:
Trade with Locals
Pokémon Go encourages social interaction, and trading is a key feature of the game. If you have the opportunity, connect with local players and trade Pokémon with them.
Trading allows you to obtain Pokémon from different regions, helping you complete your Pokédex.
Explore Different Areas
Regional Pokémon may have specific habitats or biomes within a country. Explore various cities, parks, and different types of environments to increase your chances of encountering a variety of Pokémon.
Visit Landmarks and Tourist Attractions
Landmarks and popular tourist destinations 🌝often have increased Pokémon spawns, including regionals.
Check out areas with a high density of PokéStops and Gyms, as they are likely to be hotspots for Pokémon activity.
Participate in Events
Keep an eye on in-game events, as Pokémon Go occasionally hosts special events that increase the spawn rates of certain Pokémon, including regionals.
During such events, you may have a better chance of encountering Pokémon that are typically exclusive to Japan.

Can you get Pokémon exclusive to Japan when you are in the United States?
You can get exclusive Japanese Pokémon while in the States. However, you must trade. For instance, if a Pokémon is exclusive to Japan, and you’re in the United States, you would generally need to trade with someone who 😎has caught that regional Pokémon in Japan to obtain it.
Pokémon Go uses location-based data, and the availability of certain Pokémon is tied to real-world locations.
In Pokémon Go, regional Pokémon are typically exclusive to specific geographic regions, and they are meant to encourage players to trade with others around the world.
Therefore, regional Pokémon can only be found and caught in their designated regions.🤕
How do you get regional Pokémon without Travelling?
The primary way to obtain regional Pokémon without traveling is through trading with other Pokémon Go players. 🌜Here’s how you can go about it:
Coordinate with International Trainers
If you’re looking for a specific regional Pokémon from a particular country, try coordinating with trainers from that region.
Online communities, social media groups, or forums dedicated to Pokémon Go are good places to find potential trading partners.
Connect with Friends
Build a network of friends within the game, either by adding people you know or by connecting with other players through local communities or online forums.
Attend Special Events
Pokémon Go occasionally hosts special events, festivals, or in-game activities that may increase the likelihood of encountering certain Pokémon, including regionals.
Keep an eye 🤪👀on official announcements for any events that might make it easier to obtain region-specific Pokémon.
Remote Trading
Pokémon Go introduced remote trading, allowing players to trade with friends who are far away.
However, remote trading usually requires a certain level of friendship in the game, and there may be additional costs associated with it, such as Stardust.
