Last month we showcased some incredible photos for our Hoenn themed AR showcase, so I was very excited to see what was submitted for our new theme, regional Pokémon! Whether that is a Pokémon that is currently regional, is a former regional (like Plusle and Minun), or something like Scatterbug available via the postcard system, there are a lot of different regional Pokémon to choose from in GO.

‘Summer Skies’ by kittypokemonsalot, Lake District, UK.
‘As a huge fan of cacti, I was kind of gutted that Maractus was a regional Pokémon! I was incredibly grateful when a friend came back from holiday in Mexico with spares to trade to us locals. It has such a fun design, sort of a prickly pear cactus crossed with a rabbit. I used the Bokehmon technique for this photo, which is a particular favourite of mine’
