What environments can you find the different Pokémon types? Here is a summary list.
Pokémon GO excites aspiring Pokémon trainers all over the world. It is now officially available for Android and iOS users in Germany. To help you get an overview of where you can catch your first Caterpie or Machop, we have prepared a summary list for you.
Where can I find which Pokémon?
If you are looking for specific Pokémon, you can check this list to find out where you should search best. Keep in mind that some Pokémon can also spawn “randomly,” so you might find a Water Pokémon on land as well. This list shows the locations where certain Pokémon types primarily reside.
In addition, you should also check our Pokédex: All Pokémon in Pokémon GO!. This way, you can see which Pokémon are meant.
