Generation Two Pokémon inhabit less common areas. Heracross is relatively easy to find, unlike Corsola, which requires specific environmental conditions.

These Pokémon are globally distributed, necessitating extensive travel for completionists. However, many are concentrated in North and South America and don't require specialized conditions.

Generation Four

While smaller than Generation Three, this generation still offers many interesting Pokémon. Many are found in Europe, simplifying the search, especially in populated areas.

Generation Five

Generation Five Pokémon inhabit diverse locations, including Egypt and Greece. This generation features a variety of types and habitats.
