There are now good reasons to explore your city again with Pokémon GO! Niantic has added new spawn points, promising more Pokémon.
What’s new in Pokémon GO: On Reddit, numerous players report that the spawn points have changed. Most trainers report more Pokémon. However, some players also say that they have lost spawns.
The new spawns could also change things for trainers. It could lead to entirely new routes where one can catch Pokémon easily.
New Spawn Points in Pokémon GO – Why They Matter
What exactly are spawn points? Every Pokémon in the wild spawns at a specific spawn point. This point gets a Pokémon every hour at the same time.
Now there are new spawn points. So at places where there has not been a Pokémon before, a Pokémon could now appear.
What the new spawns mean for you: New spawns also mean new Pokémon. So you should revisit areas in your city that you might have deemed unsuitable before. There could be new spawns that suddenly make these places interesting again.
Players especially report that something has changed at PokéStops. Now, significantly more stops are said to also have spawn points for Pokémon.
Generally, you should seek routes where many Pokémon spawn. This way, you can make the most out of little time. This could be particularly interesting for Community Days.
Are there only new spawns? It seems that many new spawn points have been added, but some old ones have been removed. Overall, there should now be more spawns.
Why does Niantic change the spawns? The developers themselves have not commented on this. However, one can assume that they generally want to increase the spawns. This could also make playing in rural areas more interesting if suddenly there are noticeably more Pokémon to catch.
Moreover, they naturally want to attract players to the PokéStops. There are often PokéStops that do not have spawns around them. Why would one stop by here? This could change with the new spawns.
