  via eggs, raids, and encounters in the wild.

Two years after its release “Pokémon Go” is still expanding;
creator Niantic Labs recently introduced a fresh batch of Pokémon
from “Pokémon Diamond and Pearl” to the augmented reality game
and more will be on the way soon.

“Diamond and Pearl” Pokémon are from the Sinnoh region; fans of
the original games refer to them as the fourth generation
Pokémon. So far players on Reddit have
reported seeing 25 new Pokémon, including “Diamond and Pearl”
starters Piplup, Chimchar, and Turtwig. As usual in “Pokémon Go,”
some Pokémon are region specific, appearing in certain countries
or in exclusive climates. Here’s the full list of new 4th Gen
Pokémon that have been spotted thus far, along with their
evolutions.

• Turtwig, Grotle and Torterra
• Chimchar, Monferno, and Infernape
• Piplup, Prinplup, and Empoleon
• Starly, Staravia, and Staraptor
• Bidoof and Bibarel
• Kricketot and Kricketune
• Buneary and Lopunny
• Riolu and Lucario
• Shinx and Luxio
• Chatot (May be exclusive to South America)
• Pachirisu (May be exclusive to cold climates)
• Carnivine (May be exclusive to the southeastern U.S.)

Though some Pokémon in the game gained new evolutions in “Diamond
and Pearl,” they are not yet available in game. However, trailers
for the Sinnoh update did show two of Eeevee’s fourth generation
evolutions, Glaceon and Leafeon, so it’s likely that the rest of
the existing cast will have access to their new evolutions soon
too. Check out the teaser trailer for the new update below and to
see some of the new 4th Gen Pokémon being added to the game.
