How to obtain overseas regionals

Use one of these four paths to collect regionals that do not spawn locally.

🤝

Distance trades with overseas friends

The most common path. Ultra Friends and above trade for 1 candy, and Lucky Friends get a 50% Stardust discount. Find friends via r/PokemonGoFriends on Reddit or global trade Discord servers.

🥚

Event 7 km Eggs

During select events, regionals hatch from 7 km Eggs. Check the Eggs page for the current pool — overseas species can also hatch.

🎪

GO Tour / GO Fest global events

Annual GO Tour and GO Fest events temporarily release regionals globally, with ticket holders getting massive wild / research / raid access.

🎁

Event wild & research rewards

Seasonal events (Adventure Week, holiday events, etc.) sometimes feature regionals globally or as Timed Research rewards. Check the calendar each month.

Separate guides / special mechanics

These regionals follow different mechanics and have their own dedicated guides.

Vivillon (18 patterns)

Vivillon (18 patterns)

Postcard pin system — no wild spawns. Collect all 18 wing patterns.

⚠️

Note

Region data can change. Niantic occasionally adjusts spawn regions during events or seasons — if a species you expect isn’t spawning, check the calendar for an active event first.
