Pokémon Go is great for getting people out and about.
People all around the world who would otherwise have
stayed in are walking for hours on end, playing it. It’s
really paying off, both in-game, and physically.
There’s one small problem though, if you’d call it that; it’s
more of an extremely well done gameplay feature.
Basically, in Pokémon Go, your location is an important
factor in which Pokémon will appear, and which won’t.
This is both in general, and more specifically. Large urban
areas will yield certain results, whilst smaller areas within
them (rivers, for example) will hold certain rare Pokémon
too. Location is important.
It’s also the reason that you may find an abundance of
one Pokémon in one place, and then find absolutely none at
all in another. This forces players to go (quite literally) the
extra mile to find those ever-important Pokémon you just
can’t find anywhere else. So, that being said, here’s out
first tip.
Take your location into account.
There’s something even more useful though, and it’s
Niantic’s last game, Ingress. Weird, huh? One Reddit
user was able to discover that apparently, the areas
highlighted in Ingress as having relatively high cell activity
are also areas where you’ll be able to find more rare,
powerful
Pokémon.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory and will happen anyway;
play it when you’re at new or infrequently visited locations
so you can make the most of what you’ll find there as
opposed to somewhere else. Rank up, and you’ll find more
powerful Pokémon. Hatch eggs, use incense, lures… and
so on.

So, that’s all well and good, but you’re not likely to find
any Legendaries doing this. Niantic has other plans when it
comes to that, or so it seems. So far, they’ve not said much,
if anything.
It seems likely, though, that Niantic plan to hold special
events around the world where you’ll be able to
catch Legendaries, if you’re good enough. This assumption
stems from how it seems things worked in their last
game, Ingress.
So far, we know of 5 possible
Legendaries in Pokémon
Go. Through what we’ve seen in trailers, in general, or
from dataminers, here they are:
- Mew
- Mewtwo
- Articuno
- Zapdos
- Moltres
When it comes to catching
Mewtwo, it’s likely Niantic would also hold
special events for him but it would be scarce and done in a large scale.
The exact details aren’t available right now but one thing is clear: don’t
expect Mewtwo to suddenly appear in the wild. We’ll have more when Niantic unveils more about how Legendaries
work, which should be any day now – so keep an eye on

all the best on Pokémon Go.
