Ready to conquer the world of Pokémon Go with a trio of fierce fighters? Paldean Tauros has arrived, but this isn’t your ordinary Tauros-it’s split into three unique breeds, each locked to a different corner of the globe. From the fiery Blaze Breed dominating the Eastern Hemisphere, to the aquatic Aqua Breed ruling the Western Hemisphere, and the rare Combat Breed exclusive to Spain and Portugal’s Iberian Peninsula, collecting them all means strategizing raids, crossing borders virtually or physically, and mastering their fighting prowess. Dive into our guide to learn how to track down every Paldean Tauros breed during the Stunning Styles event and add these elusive regional champions to your Pokédex.
Below we explain how to get a Paldaen Tauros in Pokémon Go, as well as where to find the different breeds by their locations, from the eastern and western hemispheres, to the Iberian Peninsula.
How to get Paldean Tauros in Pokémon Go
To get Paldean Tauros in Pokémon Go, you need to participate in three-star raids during the Stunning Styles event, which debuted this Pokémon in April 2025. Paldean Tauros appears exclusively as a raid boss, and you must defeat it in these raids to have a chance to catch it using Premier Balls, ideally boosted with Razz or Golden Razz Berries for better catch rates. There are three regional forms-Combat, Blaze, and Aqua-each available only in specific parts of the world: Combat in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), Blaze in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Aqua in the Western Hemisphere. If you want to collect all three breeds but are not in these regions, using Remote Raid Passes to join raids in other areas or coordinating with friends globally is essential. This event is currently the best opportunity to catch Paldean Tauros, as its availability after the event remains uncertain.
All three breeds of Paldean Tauros have debuted as part of the “Stunning Styles” event running from April 3 until April 7 at 8 p.m. in your local time.
During the event, Paldean Tauros will be in three-star raids. It appears that this is the only way to get it currently, as it’s not a confirmed spawn, nor does it appear in any Field or Timed Research.
Your best bet will be to just head to your local gym-filled Pokémon Go spot and try to take it on. It shouldn’t be too difficult, but remember that Paldean Tauros is fighting-type, not normal-type, so bring flying- and psychic-type moves to counter it.
How to get Combat, Blaze, and Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros
To get the Combat, Blaze, and Aqua breeds of Paldean Tauros in Pokémon Go, you need to participate in three-star raids during the Stunning Styles event. Each breed is regionally exclusive: the Combat Breed is found only in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the Blaze Breed appears in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the Aqua Breed is available in the Western Hemisphere, including North and South America, Ireland, and the UK. Defeating Paldean Tauros in these raids grants a chance to catch it using Premier Balls, and using Razz Berries can improve your catch rate. If you miss the event or are outside these regions, remote raids with friends in the respective areas are your best option to complete your collection.
Paldean Tauros different forms are regional exclusives, as follows:
- Combat Breed Paldean Taurus is exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), and is a mono fighting-type.
- Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros is exclusive to the Eastern Hemisphere, and is a fighting- and fire-type.
- Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros is exclusive to the Western Hemisphere, and is a fighting- and water-type.
If you aren’t in one of these regions, remember you can remote raid – assuming you have buddies in the opposite hemisphere or on the Iberian Peninsula – to complete the set.
Note that all variants of Taurus do count towards Kanto Pokédex entry. If you catch a Paldean Tauros, even if you don’t have the original Kanto version, it’ll complete that slot of the Pokédex.
Kanto Tauros is also a regional-exclusive, only available in North America, so make sure to grab a Paldean version if you need that Pokédex entry.
How can I collect all three Paldean Tauros breeds in Pokémon Go
To collect all three Paldean Tauros breeds in Pokémon Go-Combat, Blaze, and Aqua-you need to participate in three-star raids during special events like the “Stunning Styles” event. Each breed is region-locked, so here’s how you can get them all:
-
Combat Breed: Only available in raids in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal).
-
Blaze Breed: Found exclusively in the Eastern Hemisphere.
-
Aqua Breed: Found exclusively in the Western Hemisphere.
Since these breeds are regionally exclusive, the most practical way to collect all three is by using Remote Raid Passes and coordinating with friends or raid groups in the required regions. Apps like Poke Genie can help you join remote raids hosted by players in other parts of the world. None of the breeds spawn in the wild or are available through research tasks during the event-they are only available via raids.
In summary:
-
Find local raids for your region’s breed.
-
Use Remote Raid Passes and online communities to join raids in other regions for the remaining breeds.
-
All breeds are only available in three-star raids during the event window.
This is currently the only method to obtain all three Paldean Tauros breeds in Pokémon Go.
What regions do I need to access to find each Paldean Tauros breed
To find each Paldean Tauros breed in Pokémon Go, you need to access specific regions, as each breed is region-locked to certain parts of the world:
-
Combat Breed: Exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Spain and Portugal.
-
Blaze Breed: Found in the Eastern Hemisphere, covering regions such as Europe (excluding the westernmost parts), Asia, Africa, and Australia.
-
Aqua Breed: Found in the Western Hemisphere, which includes North America, South America, the UK, Ireland, and a small section of Africa.
If you are in the UK, you may be able to encounter both Blaze and Aqua Breeds due to its location on the boundary between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. All breeds are available only in three-star raids during special events and cannot be found in the wild. To collect all three, you will need to travel to these regions or use Remote Raid Passes to join raids hosted by players in those areas.
