Have you ever wondered what the starter and legendary Pokémon for each Pokémon region or generation are? You can always check the Pokémon GO’s app Pokédex to find these. However, the Pokédex only shows the Pokémon you have caught. For the ones you haven’t caught, you’ll see only the Pokédex number. This number can be searched for to determine what Pokémon the number is for.
In the following table, I’ll be listing the starter Pokémon and legendary Pokémon for each Pokémon region in Pokémon GO. Many of these are known by Pokémon GO trainers while some are not. The table serves as a quick look into most of the important Pokémon in each region.
