One of the most popular new features in Niantic's
Pokémon Go is the recent addition of the Unova Region creatures that initially appeared in Generation V's
Pokémon Black and
Pokémon White.
The Unova Region is home to a whopping 156 Pokémon, even more than the original Kanto Region. This allows Niantic the option to drop new groups of creatures into the mobile game in large chunks at a time, and that's exactly what they chose to do with the most recent batch.
As of January 10th, new Unova creatures became available in the wild, raids, from eggs, and of course - regionally. Below you'll find a breakdown of the recently introduced Unova Pokémon and how to capture them.
