Pokémon GO to Introduce a Hawaii Regional Exclusive Species

  • Greg Burn

Niantic announces that a new Pokémon comes to the still popular Pokémon GO. The newcomer’s name is Comfey. It’s an Alola Season exclusive, and even more than that: Comfey can only be caught in Hawaii. And this isn’t the only Pokémon to hunt, as Generation VII is about to arrive.

Comfey is a highly exclusive Fairy-type Pokémon. Introduced in Generation VII, Comfey does not evolve to or from any other species, being a thing in itself. When you look at its appearance, a little green creature in a ring of flowers, it appears totally logical that this Pokémon became a Hawaii exclusively. So, there are only two ways to get Comfey if you’re not there: either you travel to Hawaii, or you trade with someone who has been there and caught this endemic Pokémon.

Along with Comfey, there are some other Pokémon introduced in the Alola Region. But other species will not have such a limited area. They will include Rowlet, Popplio, and Litten. These, though, will be available outside Hawaii as well.

Along with Pokémon GO exclusives, there will be species from Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. If you have been missing Dartrix, Torracat, Primarina, Toucannon, and Hakamo-o, you will see them soon on the streets of your town.

The new generation of Pokémon is meant to reinvent the game. Given their improved battle abilities and the extension of Pokédex, this makes Pokémon games great again. Since 2016, Pokémon GO is maintaining players’ interest, especially given its connection with other Pokémon games released since. If you have been losing any interest in the game, this season can heat it up again.

Are you ready to take a trip to Hawaii in search of Comfey? Or will you rather trade it from someone local? And how do you like Generation VII overall? Share your expectations and impressions in the comments if you please!
