"Lured three pokéstops for six hours in a no-spawning zone; here's my results"


#PokemonGO: About the location(You can skip this part if you just want to know my results.)There is a region near me that does not spawn any Pokémon whatsoever in the wild, but that also contains a lot of Pokéstops. It also happens to contain two of the three triple lure spots in a range of at least 20 miles meaning it has been a very popular place for people to gather and catch Pokémon. In the summer, before the new tracker was introduced, you could stand at one of those triple lure spots for hours without ever seeing anything appear on Nearby, despite being only 250 m from the city centre (which had lots of wild spawns). The area used to be a naval base since the 1750's, and the last military establishments were moved away in 2002. It is now a historical site with many very old buildings and objects, which is why there are so many Pokéstops there. The no-spawning zone which encompasses the area follows the site's boundaries (a wall and/or moat) almost exactly.After new spawning points were added to the game, two spots immediately next to each other have started spawning Pokémon very close to one of the triple lure spots. Both of the spots are in the sea, and technically outside of the historical area, but one of them are just close enough for it to show up on Nearby at one of the Pokéstops forming the triple lure. This screenshot shows a Magikarp spawning at the spawn point that isn't in range of the Pokéstop. There is also a third added spawn point, on a beach about 10 meters outside of the area's boundaries.The PokéstopsHere is the triple lure I chose and this is how it looks in Pokémon Go. Historically, these three stops have spawned a large variety of Pokémon, and occasionally, they would only spawn Magnemite, Voltorb, Magneton and Electrode. I'm not sure if the biome that the stops are in has changed, but they seem to spawn a significantly larger amount of water Pokémon now.ExperimentI came up with the idea on Friday, and decided to wake up early today to place the lures. I settled down, and placed the lures at 6:30. I then noted down every spawn in a notepad app.I got a few rares to show up, including one Porygon and one Flareon, which was pretty exciting. All of the starters also showed up at least once, except for Bulbasaur. I didn't catch every Pokémon, but caught all of those that could be a Ditto and those that I was interested in. There were no Dittos, and a surprisingly small number of otherwise common Pokémon like Pidgey. In total I caught 58 different species, of which 7 were 2nd evolution ones. There were no 3rd evolution Pokémon sighted.If you've got any questions, feel free to ask!Raw dataPokémonCountPokémonCountPokémonCountPokémonCountAbra3Geodude4Nidoran♂3Seadra1Bellsprout4Growlithe1Nidoran♀4Seel2Caterpie2Golbat1Nidorina1Shellder9Charmander1Goldeen20Oddish5Slowpoke31Clefairy16Golduck1Paras2Spearow1Cubone1Horsea8Pidgey2Squirtle1Dewgong1Jigglypuff32Pikachu2Staryu4Diglett1Jynx1Poliwag26Tentacool25Doduo3Krabby8Poliwhirl1Venonat2Dratini2Lickitung7Ponyta3Voltorb2Ekans4Machop1Porygon1Vulpix1Electabuzz2Magikarp17Psyduck27Weedle4Exeggcute30Magnemite4Rattata5Zubat2Flareon1Mankey3Rhyhorn3Gastly4Meowth5Sandshrew2Total360ChartsSorry about all of the labels at the top overlapping; if anyone knows how to fix this in LibreOffice then please let me know!http://ift.tt/2l7EZph via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2kknA8U
