Every successful trainer needs these rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO!
Pidgey, Rattata, and Zubat are just a few names that many Pokémon GO players probably can’t hear or see anymore. This isn’t because these Pokémon make extremely stupid noises, but simply because they are widely spread. These species of Pokémon appear so frequently that it’s no longer special to catch them. But what about the rarer Pokémon? Which ones are already in the game?
Rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO
Keep in mind that depending on the location, some Pokémon appear more often than others (Typical locations for Pokémon types can be found here), and therefore the term “rare” is heavily location-dependent in some cases.
