How to get region-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon GO
For the most part, the only way to get region-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon GO is to travel to the real-life location where they can appear. For example, to capture a Tauros, you would need to visit North America.
However, there are a few alternative ways to get region-exclusive Pokemon that don’t require you to purchase a plane ticket and travel the globe. For instance, attending Pokemon GO Tour and GO Fest events.
Sometimes, for a limited time during Pokemon GO Tour and GO Fest events, region-exclusive Pokemon will be available via Eggs, Raids, and in the wild. For example, during Pokemon GO Tour: Hoenn, Relicanth, Torkoal, and Tropius could hatch in Eggs, regardless of where you were stationed in the world at the time.
If there are no signs of an upcoming GO Tour or GO Fest event, you can also acquire region-exclusive Pokemon by trading with other Trainers. Make friends with well-travelled Trainers, and all the region-exclusive Pokemon can be yours!
