Pokemon GO’s latest update adds both versions of Shellos to the popular mobile game, leaving some Pokemon trainers wondering if the water-type is a region-exclusive.
Hot off the heels of the Detective Pikachu event, Pokemon GO just released a new update that added some brand new Gen 4 Pokemon to the game. This includes Shellos, the water-type Pokemon that comes in a blue (West) and pink (East) variant. Since there are two versions of Shellos, many speculated that the two versions would be region-exclusives. And now that Shellos is in Pokemon GO proper, we have our answer.
It does not appear that the different versions of Shellos are region-exclusives. Anecdotal evidence on social media indicates that both the blue and pink versions of Shellos are appearing all over the world, so Pokemon GO players who want to fully complete their collection shouldn’t have to do any major traveling to catch them.
