This is NOT a live map, these are past spawns to try to help locate "nests"
Frequently asked things
What are nests?
While some pokemon can be caught anywhere, all the time, like pidgeys, some prefer to spawn in very localized areas.
Good examples of very nesty Pokemon include Growlithes and Clefairy.
Is this map live/current spawns?
Nope!
Does this update anymore?
Nope!
So I'm gauranteed to get a [insert species here] if I go to [insert location]?
Not necessarily. The nest locations have changed before, and some pokemon are just plain rare and may not show up on demand for you, even if they do frequent certain locations.
Why doesn't this include all species?
I've decided to remove a few of the super common ones Let's face it, you don't need to know where the Pidgeys spawn, and when you take into account that Pidgeys, Weedles and Rattatas are around 58% of the spawns, it doesn't make sense to track where they're going to be.
Other's just haven't shown up in my scan. They're just SUPER rare. You'll be lucky if you catch one anywhere.
