Many have speculated that locations of Pokemon depend on what type of Pokemon they are. For instance, Squirtle can be found near seashores or rivers because it is a water-type Pokemon or a Pikachu can be found near electricity plants for the obvious reason that the Pokemon is electric-type.
Redditor MarUlberg from TheSilphRoad subreddit has performed an experiment on PokeEggs obtained from PokeStops situated within bodies of water (piers, rivers, seasides, etc.) or PokeStops that have 'water' in their names, OtakuArt.com reports.
On a mission to catch a Squirtle with awesome Individual Value (IV), MarUlberg decided to do experiments to prove this theory. A huge park named Vigeland Sculpture Park is located in Oslo, Norway, the Redditor decides to run the experiment there. Among the wide range of fountains in the park, there is a particular big fountain that it shows up at the map over some water, and also in the middle of the park is a PokéStop with the name: "Art and Water".
The said park is also known as the Squirtle Nest, making it the perfect spot to test the water-type Pokemon egg theory. Stops were spun and revisited again when it turns blue.
Common sightings in the said park are: Squirtle, Krabby, Fearow, Seel, Drowsee, Bellsprout, Staryu, Pidgeotto, Venonat, Gastly, Rattata, Pidgey, Zubat, Jigglypuff, Weedle.
For all 10 eggs collected, an observation was gathered. They came from Pokestops either in water, or have 'water' in their name. The result of the PokeEgg hatches were 4 Water Pokemon and 6 for other types. In detail they are: Spearow, Onix, Doduo, Zubat, Magikarp, Jigglypuff, Shellder, Magikarp, Tentacool, Venonat.
So what does this experiment tell us?
To conclude, it doesn't matter where the eggs are hatched, it doesn't matter what Pokestop the egg came from, the results seem to be random. So the water PokeEgg theory as of this writing still remain to be proven. Our thanks to MarUlberg for being one brave observer for Pokemon Go.
