Pokémon Go Adds 2 Squawkabilly Regional Forms to Global Exclusives Guide

3 articles · Updated · Polygon · Jun 23

Summary

  • June 23’s update adds Squawkabilly’s regional color split to the Pokémon Go regional guide, with Green Plumage in the Eastern Hemisphere and Blue Plumage in the Western Hemisphere.
  • The guide also notes Yellow and White Squawkabilly are available globally, making the new entry a form-location reference rather than a fully region-locked species listing.
  • That addition expands a broader catalog of travel- or trade-dependent catches, from Kangaskhan in Australia and Hawlucha in Mexico to hemisphere-based Ultra Beasts and migratory swaps like Solrock and Lunatone.
  • Regional mechanics remain central to Pokédex completion in Pokémon Go, though Niantic has periodically used events to temporarily release some exclusives outside their usual areas.
