Biomes not only impact appearance, but also the Pokémon that will appear in that environment. Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region will appear in specific biomes, although they have been known to appear outside of these biomes during certain Pokémon GO Seasons or special events. Keep an eye on these biomes to see what other Pokémon may appear there!
The forest biome is home to Pokémon first discovered in Kanto such as Bulbasaur, Caterpie, Weedle, Oddish, and more.
The beach biome is home to Squirtle, Psyduck, Seel, Magikarp, and more.
The mountain biome is home to Sandshrew, Clefairy, Zubat, Diglett, and more.
The city biome is home to Caterpie, Pidgey, Machop, Gastly, and more.*
There are a number of other biomes for Trainers to discover, and we look forward to seeing what Pokémon you will find!
* Towns and other populated areas are included in the city biome.
