"Pokemon Go" players try to capture wild Pokemon in the fastest means possible since these are only available for a limited period of time. The spawn rates of creatures in "Pokemon Go" vary according to type and rarity, and these fluctuate depending on the player's location.
Pokemon Go Hub recently published a "Pokemon Go" spawn rate chart by using over 100 million data points from the prediction algorithm dataset of Poke Radar. The chart is reportedly highly accurate. Considering that spawn rates tend to fluctuate depending on the "Pokemon Go" player's region, the numbers may change. However, the overall averages can provide them with an idea on how much time may be left in capturing a specific Pokemon.
Kotaku wrote that there will be one Kabuto in every 1,000 Pokemon that "Pokemon Go" players meet. The chart shows that Dragonite is the least common Pokemon after the legendaries, which have yet to be introduced into the game.
Pidgey is more common compared to Rattata, Gyarados has the same spawn rate as Kabutops, and female Nidorans are more common than their male counterparts. There are 21 Pikachus in every 10,000 Pokemon.
The chart also showed that the easiest creatures to catch include Pidgey (1,598), Rattata (1,305), Zubat (652), Magikarp (478), Spearow (473), and Caterpie (303). As for the primary creatures in "Pokemon Go," Charmander is the least common (25.3), followed by Squirtle (58) and then Bulbasaur (69). They become very difficult to find especially in their third stage, averaging no more than 2 in every 10,000 Pokemon spawned.
The "Pokemon Go" spawn chart also featured the times of the day when specific Pokemon are most active. Players aiming to catch a Pikachu should try searching at 4:00 a.m. They will have more luck in finding a Raichu at midnight. Dragonites in "Pokemon Go" also spawn close to midnight. Bulbasaurs spawn at around 8:00 p.m., Charmanders mostly spawn at 8:45 a.m., while Squirtles become more common at 4:25 a.m.
The times and spawning rates may vary depending on the "Pokemon Go" player's location, but they can try comparing their actual gaming experience with the chart to provide comparisons. More updates and details on "Pokemon Go" are expected soon.
