A good number of Pokemon from the Kalos region have been added toPokemon GOin order to bring inPokemon’s sixth-generation after the introduction of mega evolution. While many well-known Pokemon from the region, such as the Kalos starters, have been added for players globally, Klefki is a different case.
Klefki is a dual Steel and Fairy-type Pokemon that can now be found in the wild inPokemon GO. It doesn’t have any pre-evolved forms or any other Pokemon it can evolve into, making any Klefki candy only useful for changing moves and powering the Pokemon up.

Where Can Klekfi Be Caught In Pokemon GO?
Due to it being originally from the Kalos region, and the Kalos region being based on the real-world country of France, Klefki can only be found in France. This means that onlyFrenchPokemon GOplayersandPokemon GOplayers currently in the country can find this Pokemon active in the wild.
Considering the current state of the world, with theongoing COVID-19 pandemicaffecting countries worldwide, it is very unlikely for manyPokemon GOplayers to be traveling to France in order to catch this Pokemon. Like other region exclusive Pokemon, however, there may be an event or research reward at some point in the future that will make catching Klefki much easier.

Tips For Catching Klefki In Pokemon GO
Unfortunately, the only way for players to get their hands on Klefki on their own is to travel directly to France and scour the streets for one. For most, this is impractical, but not all hope is lost for those that want to get their hands on the Fairy-type.
It’s still viable to grab the jingly Pocket Monster via a trade, so players will need to seek out friends that live in the colorful country. The best way to do this is to scour forum posts, Facebook Groups, and other areas where Pokemon GO fans can come together from all over the globe. Friending someone from France will give players the best shot in trading for the region-locked Pokemon.
It’s also possible to receive Klefki within an egg that is gifted from a France-based friend. Although it’s a small chance, it’s another possible way to snag one if a players current French friends don’t have immediate access to the key ring-shaped creature.
Pokemon GOis available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
