For trainers in Pokémon GO in rural areas, there is good news from the developers. More Pokémon are appearing in rural areas and other locations.
For a long time, the Pokémon spawn rate (the amount of appearing Pokémon) for players in rural areas has not been satisfactory. While cities feature a particularly high number of Pokémon and stops, wild Pokémon are seen less frequently in rural areas.
This problem has often been raised by players to Niantic, the developers of Pokémon GO. Now, the developers have increased the number of wild Pokémon in rural areas and other environments.
Pokémon GO: More wild Pokémon outdoors in rural areas and cities
An official announcement via social media stated that there will now be more Pokémon sightings in parks and other outdoor areas. Cities and rural areas are expected to be affected by the increase in wild monsters.
This will likely please many trainers who often play away from cities. Now there are more wild Pokémon for them to catch here as well. Whether this is just a temporary increase in sightings or whether this change is permanent is currently unclear. However, it is likely that this is a permanent change to provide trainers in rural areas with a better gaming experience.
What exactly is meant by “parks and other outside locations” could also become interesting. Does Niantic simply mean “anything that is not covered by a roof” or already specific places like parks, open spaces, tennis facilities, or soccer fields?
Togepi can evolve! This is what Togetic looks like in Pokémon GO.
