Pokemon Go players probably noticed that when playing around certain areas – like at home, school, or work – they will find the high appearance of specific Pokemon. The types of Pokemon differ depending on where you go. For example, your neighbourhood hawker centre probably has lots of Pinsir but shopping mall further down has tonnes of Paras.

One of the best ways to find rare Pokemon is to explore outdoors. Visit places in Singapore you have not been before and see what Pokemon frequent the location. Use Lure Modules at the Pokestops (if any) because they guarantee a Pokemon will appear – increasing the chance of a rare Pokemon.
