How to get a Pansear in Pokemon Go

Pansear can be found in the wild, but this Fire-type monkey can only spawn in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India.

The Unova-region Pokemon is one of several regional-exclusive Pokemon in the game. This means that it can only be found in certain regions of the world.

For those who don’t live in any of those areas, it’s a good idea to keep on the lookout for special events like Community Day or Raids. Additionally, special events are good alternatives for those who need regional-exclusive Pokemon.

Luckily, Pansear can be found as an Increased Incense encounter during the Verdant Wonders event. Additionally, it can be found globally regardless of whether you’ve purchased a ticket for the event, so those outside of its normal region can catch this rare Fire-type.

However, it’s worth noting that Pansear and its counterparts will be much harder to find for those who haven’t purchased Verdant Wonders event tickets.
