Region-exclusive Pokémon
Certain Pokémon are exclusive to certain regions in the world. These Pokémon may hatch from 5 km Eggs obtained in their respective regions since September 2019. Some of these Pokémon have been made available in other regions during special events. The territories described below are generally limited to broad descriptions, sacrificing precise accuracy. Many community-sourced maps can be found that show these boundaries in much greater detail, such as this.
The following list has been divided based on the type of regional exclusivity. Plusle and Minun were originally region-exclusive Pokémon prior to February 10, 2018.

Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts
Most Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts have only been released for strictly limited periods in Raid Battles. Several have had repeat appearances in later raids or as Research Breakthrough encounters. Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Regigigas originally appeared in special EX Raids. EX Raid Passes grant players the ability to participate in an EX Raid and are distributed on a semi-random basis to players who have recently completed a Raid at the Gym where the EX Raid would take place.
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf have been available in the wild, in their respective regions, as a very rare spawn since April 30, 2019.
The Mythical Pokémon Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Diancie, Hoopa, Marshadow, and Zarude have been made available as rewards for completing their respective Special Research tasks. Meltan, which can be evolved into Melmetal, can be spawned using the Mystery Box.
The following lists all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts that have been made available in Raid Battles.

Special availability
Some species, outside of special events, neither appear in the wild nor evolve from Pokémon that do. Instead, these Pokémon can only be encountered through other methods. In addition to the following list, all baby Pokémon have always been exclusively obtained from hatching Eggs. Alolan Sandshrew, Vulpix, Meowth, and Grimer; Galarian Meowth, Zigzagoon, and Darumaka; and Hisuian Growlithe and Sneasel can normally only be obtained from hatching Eggs, but some have had expanded availability during special events.
Event-induced availability
The player may choose from the three Kanto first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle. If the player walks away from the first partner Pokémon four times, Pikachu will also appear as a possible first partner Pokémon. These Pokémon may also be found in the wild later on.
It is normally random whether Eevee will evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. However, if Eevee walks at least 10 km as the Buddy Pokémon and is then evolved while it is still the Buddy Pokémon, it will evolve into Espeon during the day or Umbreon during the night. Additionally, the Mossy Lure Module and Glacial Lure Module can be used to cause Eevee to evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively. Finally, gaining seventy hearts as the Buddy Pokémon causes its Evolution into Sylveon. It is also possible to force Eevee's Evolution into a specific Pokémon if it is given a certain nickname:[8] "Sparky" for Jolteon, "Rainer" for Vaporeon, "Pyro" for Flareon (the names of the Eevee brothers in the Pokémon anime), "Sakura" for Espeon, "Tamao" for Umbreon (two of the Kimono Girls in the anime), "Linnea" for Leafeon, "Rea" for Glaceon, and "Kira" for Sylveon (three of the Eevee users). These nicknames override all other factors in determining Evolution; however, each nickname can only influence Evolution once per player.
Certain real-world events will occasionally cause Pokémon to appear in the wild that are usually locked to a specific method, such as having region- or Raid-exclusive Pokémon appearing regularly in the wild.
During certain conventions or other events, specific letters of Unown may be made available at a greatly increased rate in the vicinity of the event. The letters made available spell out something related to the event, such as C, H, I, A, G, and O for Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago.
During some special events, featured Pokémon may be caught wearing a commemorative costume. For example, Pikachu and Pichu may be caught or hatched wearing a special hat, and Raichu will retain the hat upon Evolution. During the Squirtle Community Day on July 8, 2018, Sunglasses Squirtle based on the Squirtle Squad from the anime was made available through Field Research; Wartortle and Blastoise will both retain the glasses on Evolution. During the Valentine's Day 2019 event, a Spinda based on the heart-spotted one from Going for a Spinda could be obtained from Field Research. For Pokémon Day 2019, an Eevee with a hat was added, similarly to Pikachu; it retains the hat upon Evolution.
Since September 2018, certain Pokémon have been made available in 7 km Eggs as part of an event, including regional- and Raid-exclusive Pokémon such as Tauros and Absol, respectively.
