Last updated
Ever wondered where those elusive rare Pokemon hide in Pokemon GO? If you’re on a quest to catch ’em all, knowing where to look for these special creatures is key. Let’s dig into the secret spots and strategies to snag those rare finds.
So, where do rare Pokemon usually hang out in Pokemon GO? We’ve got the inside scoop on how to boost your chances of encountering these coveted Pokemon.
Hotspots for Rare Pokemon
Rare Pokemon tend to appear in areas with high cell traffic. Think bustling city centers, popular parks, and famous landmarks. These are your hotspots. Why? Because the game uses cell phone data to determine where to spawn Pokemon. More people, more Pokemon, including the rare ones!
Also, the type of terrain matters. For instance, water-type Pokemon spawn near bodies of water. So, if you’re after a rare water-type, head to your nearest lake, river, or beach. Similarly, certain weather conditions in the game increase the likelihood of specific types of Pokemon appearing. Keep an eye on the weather in Pokemon GO and plan your hunts accordingly.
