Pokemon Go players can now predict when and where certain Pokemon will appear. This is made possible through the analysis of hundreds of thousands of Pokemon encounters compiled by various players.
Pokemon Go Encounters, Poke Stops Data Mined
A third party Pokemon Go developer posted on Reddit his database collection of Pokemon spawn points, encounters, gyms and Pokestops. The list is impressive covering more than half a million Pokemon encounters. Included in the list are more than 50,000 battle gyms and around 400,000 Pokestops. The Pokemon Go data mine file could be downloaded here.
Ideal Pokemon Go Hunting Time
Based on the data, the Pokemon spawning time appears to occur at the same time all over the world regardless of time zones. More Pokemon appear during 21:00 hours and the least number of Pokemon encounters starts at 0:00 hours. It seems more Pokemon spawn during the evening or early morning,according to Pokemon Go Hub.
The database suggests that the Pokemon spawn spike ups during the last two minutes of the hour. Pokemon encounters also dropped considerably during the 40 and 41 minute range. Players will need to study the list a bit in order to zero in the Pokemon that they want to catch.
Players will need to locate the spawn point of the specific Pokemon that they are trying to capture. The database list can provide an idea on where to find them. Once the potential Pokemon encounter is pinpointed, players can now choose the most ideal time to capture the Pokemon.
Most of the spawn points though yield the most common Pokemon like the Ratata or Pidgey. Players can ignore them and choose the ones that yield the rarer Pokemon. Nevertheless, collecting ordinary ones in Pokemon Go can also be helpful for players.
