Pokémon Go’s Water Festival is full of summer fun, but the most exciting feature is the addition of Tatsugiri, Paldea’s sushi-like fish, to the game for the first time. However, as with many other Pokémon with forms that have come before it, there’s an annoying obstacle in the way of collecting them all.
As a location-based mobile game, Pokémon Go loves to use real-world regions as a way to add exclusivity to certain creatures, much like the version exclusives in the mainline games. The gen 9 Pokémon Tatsugiri has three distinct forms that mimic different types of nigiri sushi, which is where it gets the label of the Mimicry Pokémon from. All three forms are coming to Pokémon Go, but they’re region-locked – Curly Form lives in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Droopy Form inhabits the Americas, and you can find Stretchy Form in the Asia-Pacific region.
Of course, one of Pokémon Go’s key features is trading with your friends, so if you’ve got some Poképals scattered around the world, you should be just fine, but it’s still a little annoying for those of us who prefer to play alone, especially as they’re limited to one-star raids rather than wild encounters. These fish Pokémon are some of the coolest designs to come out of the series in years, so I want to get my hands on them as soon as possible.
