Ever wonder where to scout for those elusive, rare Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Finding rare Pokemon is one of the most thrilling parts of playing Pokemon GO. We’re here to guide you through it.

If you’re itching to add some rare Pokemon to your collection, you’ve landed in the right place. Let’s dive into the secrets of locating these coveted creatures in Pokemon GO.

Hotspots for Rare Pokemon

Rare Pokemon tend to hang out in specific types of locations. Depending on the Pokemon you’re hunting, different environments are more likely to host these rare finds. Generally, you’ll have better luck in densely populated areas, near landmarks, or in parks.

Water-type Pokemon, for instance, often appear near bodies of water like lakes, rivers, and oceans. Meanwhile, certain Pokemon that are harder to find might pop up near monuments, museums, or other significant landmarks. It’s all about exploring and keeping your eyes peeled!

Using Lures and Incense to Attract Rare Pokemon

Another strategy is to use items like Lures and Incense. Lures can be attached to PokeStops to attract Pokemon to that location for 30 minutes, benefiting everyone nearby. Incense, on the other hand, draws Pokemon to you personally for a limited time. These items can increase your chances of encountering rare Pokemon.

Remember, though, while Lures and Incense can boost your chances, they don’t guarantee that a rare Pokemon will appear. Patience and persistence are key.
