The region specific Pokemon are: Mr Mime, found in Europe; Farfetch'd, found in Asia; Tauros, found in North America and Kangaskhan, found in Australia/New Zealand.

Although it is not possible to find these Pokemon in the wild outside of their respective locations they can be hatched from eggs.

Answer: Revive

When a Pokemon reaches zero HP it faints and cannot take part in further battles. To heel it you need to use a revive item on it.

The regular revive is unlocked at level 5 and the full revive is unlocked at level 30. Players get revives when they level up and they can also be found at Pokestops.

A potion can be used to regain the rest of the Pokemon's HP but it doesn't work if they have fainted.
