Pokemon Go Fan Project Tracks Spawn Rate for Your Convenience


Admit it, when you open your Pokemon Go app, you wonder which Pokemon you'll be able to nab this time?

Well, while we all know that ‘mons in Pokemon Go are classified according to the rarity that they spawn in the game, we also know that there are some surprising instances where we just happen to find a Dragonite or a Blastoise wondering around in the last place we expected it to be.

Well, if you want to be more accurate of the possibility of landing a rare or even an epic Pokemon instead of trusting on your Instincts, then this fan-made project may make your day.

Pokemon Go Champ has created a chart that basically lists all of the Pokemon's spawn rates in the game. According to the creators, the data for the chart was taken from the Poke Radars prediction algorithm dataset.

"All percentages are calculated on a rolling 1 week period across approximately 100 million historical data points for the highest degree of accuracy. After some research, we can confirm that the data set is highly accurate as claimed by the awesome guys at Poke Radar."

The spawn times are also the same for all time zones. The full chart can be seen in the link, but just so you know who the most common and the rarest ones are by spawn chance, here you go:

Caterpie – 3.032%
Drowzee – 3.21%
