Spawn Time and Locations
- Pokemon spawn in discrete locations, unchanging and markable on a map.
- 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.
- Pokemon spawns are often linked to cell data usage. You will often see spawns at builds with a lot of people such as offices, apartments and malls. You'll also see more spawns at places where people check their phones often like intersections and bus/train stations.
- Bushes (moving grass) are spawn points. A Pokemon will spawn from these bushes in at most 45 minutes.
- Pokemon will not spawn at Airports, Major Roads and K-12 Schools due to safety concerns.
