‘Pokémon GO’ Guide: New Spawn Chart Helps Trainers Successfully Find & Catch Pokémon

Finding and catching Pokémon can be taxing for some "Pokémon GO" players, especially for those who just arrived in the game. A spawn chart, however, has been released with a sole purpose of making it easy for trainers to spot and catch Pokémon.

Certain Pokémon spawn rates highly depend on spawn locations, climates, and areas. For instance, Grass-Type Pokémon such as Bulbasaur, Oddish, and Bellsprout can be found in grassy areas like parks, farmlands, forests, gardens, golf courses, and nature reserves. Knowing where Grass-Type Pokémon converge is an advantage because it almost always guarantees that you would catch one, as opposed to roaming the streets hoping for a Bulbasaur to appear.

With the help of Poké Radar, a "Pokémon GO" fan made a spawn chart that displays spawn chances information or the probability of Pokémon spawns in a specific area. The spawn chart also indicates average spawn rate per 10,000 and the time when a specific Pokémon would pop up on the map. Charmander, let's say, has a 0.253 percent spawn chance, 25.3 average spawns per 10,000, and it can usually be spotted at 08:45.

The "Pokémon GO" spawn chart includes common Pokémon such as Pikachu, Squirtle, Pidgey, Rattata, and Caterpie. But there are rare Pokémon in the list as well like Lickitung, Gyarados, Snorlax, Dratini, and Eevee's evolutions: Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon. You can check out the full spawn chart on The BitBag.

The new spawn chart is a safe way to aid players' progress in the game, especially we all know now that third-party apps can lead to your account being banned by Niantic, the developer and publisher of "Pokémon GO." The spawn chart, which collected 100 million historical data points, is safe and provides reliable information without presenting risks to players.

Niantic has taken down third-party services that help players find and catch Pokémon. This includes PokéVision, Find 'Em All, and Poké Radar, among others. Niantic also removed a broken tracking feature (instead of fixing it) that lets "Pokemon GO" trainers know if they were near any Pokémon, The Verge reported.

Niantic's latest "Pokémon GO" update that rolled out on August 22 introduced changes for Pokémon nest and spawn locations, Parent Herald previously reported. Spawn locations guarantee multiple specified Pokémon every visit, usually yielding up to five pocket monsters or more per hour.
