Spawn Locations

• Pokemon spawn in discrete locations, unchanging and markable on a map.

Spawn Timer

• Pokemon spawn once an hour at a time specific to each spawn point. One might spawn at 3:32, 4:32, etc. while the one next to it spawns at 3:17, 4:17 etc. Very few spawn twice per hour.

• Pokemon de-spawns (disappears) 15 minutes after they have spawned (appeared). very few last 30 minutes to 1 hour.

• Pokemon will appear on your map anytime you approach the spawn point within the 15 minutes.

• Pokemon doesn't move.

• Pokemon spawn independently.

• One trainer catching a Pokemon does not affect its de-spawn timer. Multiple people can catch the same spawn.
