- Graveler
- Haunter
- Boldore
- Gurdurr
- Karrablast
- Shelmet
New Pokémon from the Unova Region will soon be able to be found in Pokémon Go as well. These Pokémon include:
- Roggenrola, Tympole, Dwebble, Trubbish, Karrablast, Joltik, Shelmet, and more will be showing up in Spawns.
- Venipede and Dwebble will hatch from 2 km Eggs.
- Roggenrola, Tympole, Trubbish, Karrablast, Joltik, and Shelmet will hatch from 5 km Eggs.
- Timburr, Tirtouga, Archen, and Axew will hatch from 10 km Eggs.
