Every hemisphere-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon GO Season of Light

Pokemon GO has entered its Season of Light, bringing new events, exclusives, and rewards for players. As seasons change in this mobile game, so do the Pokemon that can be found in the wild. In the current one, there are environment-specific Pokemon spawns as well as global exclusives.

Each hemisphere will have seven exclusives at the start of Season of Light. Players in the northern one will find themselves with a variety of creatures different from those found in its southern counterpart.

Additional exclusives on the way

Much like some of the Egg-exclusive creatures in Pokemon GO, Niantic has confirmed that there will be more hemisphere-specific Pokemon added to this season later on. The developers haven't gone into detail regarding what these may be or whether their shiny forms will be available. They have only indicated that more Pokemon will appear in the northern and southern hemispheres.

The developers are known for making globally exclusive Pokemon available in locations that aren't typically accessible during special events. This is why players should be on the lookout for such creatures. Keeping an eye out will allow them to catch Pokemon that might not normally be catchable.
