The Paldean Tauros, a distinct regional variant from Generation IX of the classic Kanto Pokémon, is set to make its debut in Pokémon GO in April 2025. As part of the exciting Stunning Styles event, players can encounter this Wild Bull Pokémon starting April 30, 2025.
While the Kantonian Tauros has been a familiar sight for trainers since the game’s inception, it has been primarily accessible in North America, specifically limited to southern Canada and the continental United States, excluding the southern regions of Florida. Similarly, players will find that the three distinct forms of the Paldean Tauros variant will be tied to specific geographical locations.
Upcoming Availability of Paldean Tauros in Pokémon GO
The availability of Paldean Tauros begins with the Stunning Styles event, running from Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM to Monday, April 7, 2025, at 8:00 PM, according to local time.
Currently, there are no announcements regarding the potential for broader availability of the Wild Bull Pokémon in the future.
Strategies to Capture Paldean Tauros
- Engage in 3-star Raids
- Participate in trading
During the Stunning Styles event, all three breeds of Paldean Tauros will be featured in 3-star Raids. Trainers will only encounter the specific breed available in their own region. For those eager to collect Tauros from other regions, trading with friends will be essential to expand their Pokédex.
Exploring the Regional Breeds of Paldean Tauros
The three unique breeds of Paldean Tauros—Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed—are exclusively located in designated regions, similar to the original Kantonian Tauros. Upon their release, the following geographic restrictions will apply:
- Combat Breed Paldean Tauros: Found in the Iberian Peninsula
- Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros: Available in the Eastern Hemisphere
- Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros: Exclusive to the Western Hemisphere
At this point, the crossover possibilities for these breeds into other areas remain uncertain. Notably, the Kantonian Tauros experienced a brief availability window in Seoul during the GO GO GO event, running from November 13, 2024, to December 31, 2024.
In additional news, details have emerged regarding the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, promising fresh updates and thrilling experiences for trainers globally.
