Since its debut, Pokémon GO has been nothing short of a cultural sensation, blending the nostalgia of the Pokémon franchise with cutting-edge augmented reality technology. For years, fans have been wandering their neighborhoods, parks, and cities to catch ’em all. But what about the ones that haven’t been caught yet – because they haven’t even been released?
Niantic has been great at keeping the game fresh, rolling out updates and new Pokémon from various regions to keep trainers on their toes. Yet, despite the sheer diversity and numerous Pokémon species introduced, there are still those that haven’t yet made an appearance in the game. Let’s explore the mysterious and elusive creatures that puzzle trainers and spark discussions on forums.
Whether it’s the mythical Arceus from the Sinnoh region or the yet-to-be-released Paldean Pokémon, the list of absentees is long and filled with fan favorites. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to all the Pokémon that are yet to step foot in the Pokémon GO universe.
The game has been a roller coaster of new releases and events, but there are still Pokémon from across multiple regions that have eluded capture because they simply aren’t in the game yet. Here’s a detailed rundown to help you understand which Pokémon you can’t catch just yet – no matter how many Poké Balls you’ve saved up.
