Paldean Pokémon in Pokémon Go explained
Paldean Pokémon, like Alolan and Galarian Pokémon, are regional variants of Pokémon from past generations. This means they differ both physically and statistically, including different types, from their original counterparts.
Although they fit this description, Pokémon like Toedscool and Wiglett who debuted in the Paldea region (and are obviously Paldean takes on classic Pokémon) are not classified as actual Paldean Pokémon. Instead, they’re considered brand new Pokémon with their own unique Pokédex entries and typings.
Paldean Pokémon made their first appearance in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where the player explores the Paldea region in a new open world gameplay style.
In Pokémon Go, Paldean Pokémon are a type of Pokémon Forme, just like how Burmy has a different appearance depending on the location you encounter it in.
Thankfully, Paldean Pokémon share the same candy as their traditional counterparts, so you can catch their regular variants to help you evolve them.
Paldean Wooper and its evolution Clodsire are the only Paldea Pokémon variants released so far in Pokémon Go, debuting during Wooper Community Day in Novemeber 2023.
The Season of Adventures Abound is here! The Halloween event has returned, bringing with it Greavard and Houndstone.
