Paldean Pokémon can now be added to your Pokédex in Pokémon Go.

Paldean Pokémon are Paldea variants of Pokémon from past generations, but don't include the strange variations of Gen 1 Pokémon like Toedscool and Wiglett.

Paldean Wooper was the first Paldea variant to be added into Pokémon Go, with its debut as part of Wooper Community day in November 2023.

To help you catch 'em all, we've detailed everything we know about Paldean Pokémon in Pokémon Go below, including a list of all Paldean Pokémon forms currently in the game.

Paldean Pokémon in Pokémon Go explained

Paldean Pokémon, like Alolan and Galarian Pokémon, are regional variants of Pokémon from past generations. This means they differ both physically and statistically, including different types, from their original counterparts.

Although they fit this description, Pokémon like Toedscool and Wiglett who debuted in the Paldea region (and are obviously Paldean takes on classic Pokémon) are not classified as actual Paldean Pokémon. Instead, they're considered brand new Pokémon with their own unique Pokédex entries and typings.

Paldean Pokémon made their first appearance in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where the player explores the Paldea region in a new open world gameplay style.

Wiglett and Toedscool aren't considered Palean Pokémon.

In Pokémon Go, Paldean Pokémon are a type of Pokémon Forme, just like how Burmy has a different appearance depending on the location you encounter it in.

Thankfully, Paldean Pokémon share the same candy as their traditional counterparts, so you can catch their regular variants to help you evolve them.

Paldean Wooper and its evolution Clodsire are the only Paldea Pokémon variants released so far in Pokémon Go, debuting during Wooper Community Day in Novemeber 2023.

The World of Wonders season has come to Pokémon Go. Rivals Week is currently running in Pokémon Go. You can now catch Wiglett and, if you don't have one already, Diancie through the Glitz and Glam quest. There's also the Rediscover Kanto and World of Wonders quests to complete! Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
