Have you ever wondered: What Pokemon GO region am I in?

Location is one of the most crucial aspects that every Pokemon GO player must consider. This is precisely the element that the game is based on, so it influences both the Pokemon you will encounter and your chances of improving as a Pokemon trainer.

Knowing the region you’re in and the benefits of each one is a must. Therefore, here’s our guide to which region you’re and the Pokemon in each one of them.

How to find out your region in Pokemon GO

Knowing your region is actually quite simple. Each region in the game is associated with an actual geographical location. These locations are large and can feature some of the rarest Pokemon in Pokemon Go.

To find out what Pokemon GO region you are in, do the following:

Open Pokemon Go.
Click on your character’s face in the bottom left corner.
Scroll down to your medals on the character page.
About half way down, you’ll see some brownish looking medals. One of those looks like a butterfly. Click on that and it will open a map with butterfly patterns beneath it.
On the bottom left of the map is a magnifying glass.
Click on that and you can find where you are on the map and the corresponding region.

It’s worth remembering that regional Pokemon are distributed according to the region of the game.

Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh and the other regions are distributed in specific areas designated by the developers of Pokemon GO.

There still might not be regional legendaries in Pokemon Go but here’s a summary of the regional Pokemon that each region:
