Carnivine is a well-loved plant Pokémon, famous for its playful bites at Team Rocket’s James in the anime. This Grass-type first came out in the Gen IV’s Diamond and Pearl games, and you can also find it in Pokémon Go.
Finding Carnivine Isn’t Easy
If you’re looking to catch Carnivine on your phone, it won’t be as simple as in the main games. You’ll need some tips to track this bug catcher down in Pokémon Go. Unlike most Pokémon, Carnivine hangs out in a very specific place – the American Southeast. This means you’ll have to be in places like Florida, Georgia, or the Carolinas to meet it.
Region-Exclusive Pokémon
Carnivine is part of a group of Pokémon that you can only find in certain areas around the world. Some other names in this group include Kangaskhan, Pachirisu, and Klefki, along with Legendary Pokémon like the Gen IV lake trio.
Still, There’s Hope
Filling your Pokédex may seem tough with these region-locked Pokémon. But don’t lose hope. Even if you’re not visiting the Southeast soon, there’s a chance. Pokémon Go sometimes lets region-exclusive Pokémon like Carnivine show up in your area during special events. So, keep your eyes open for these chances to catch Carnivine no matter where you are.
