Let's delve into the world of what it is like to be a pokemon professor. I have a topic that needs to be researched and studied.

displaced pokemon, as in pokemon that are introduced in a region that they appear not to be native to.

For example, farfetch'd first appears in kanto however you receive it through a trade and it is not able to be caught in the wild, interestingly it can be caught wild in the johto region. This indicates that farfetch'd is in fact a pokemon of johto origin, not kanto.
The same can be said for mr.mime who is instead found in the sinnoh region with its pre evolution.

dratini the rare import to the safari zone is not found in the wild in kanto, but it is found in the wild in select parts of johto, sinnoh and unova.

wobbuffet while it is found in the wild in johto, it's baby form is only found in the wild in hoenn which indicates hoenn is it's place of origin and perhaps the adults migrate out of the area.


I would like to compile an entire list and create a chart that places pokemon in their correct regions of origin.

what pokemon can you think of that are found in a place they did not come from?
