Pokemon Go Melbourne - sightings and catches

dasher86 on 11/07/2016 - 09:29

There are a few Pokemon Go threads already but I thought I would create a Pokemon GO thread for Melbourne to share sightings and catches of 'rare' pokemon.

Please share with as much detail as possible.
I'll start

Caught
Aerodactyl - Bourke Street Mall towards Swanston Street End
Dratini, Dragonair, Slowbro and Tentracruel - Maribyrnong River walk (plenty of magikarp, psyducks and slowpokes)
Clefairy - Queensbridge cnr Kingsway
Grimer- Roberts street cnr Reed Street Spotswood
Kadabra - Little Collins Street Cnr Spencer Street
Meowth -Lonsdale towards elizabeth street

Sightings
Blastoise - Williamstown Rd exit Westgate Bridge - almost had it but phone glitched and lost which way to go
Venusaur - West Footscray Argyle Street cnr Barkly and Russell - I hope to get here on the weekend and see if i can find it.

    The suburbs around Doncaster are terrible just small weedles and crap like that. Minimal stops too.

    Did the starter Easter egg to get pikachu by leaving the starter area 4 times. But no point having a 10cp pikachu that can't be levelled up if you don't see more.

      Around gyms you usually find the most pokemon. I like to look for areas where there are two gyms in close proximity with a park / water nearby this give some variation to what you would normally find in 'suburban' streets.

        yeah nice advice.

        got a ghastly, ekans, mankey on bourke/elizabeth

        bit sick of pidgeys/zubats around the cbd otherwise

    OMG there was a Charzpika level 700 at platform nine and three-quarters. Gotta catch 'em all!

    • dasher86 on 11/07/2016 - 13:21

  • karimaka on 11/07/2016 - 13:34

    a lot of pidgeys around caulfield/malvern. evolving to a pidgeot soon.

    Walked along Southbank at lunch time today and counted about a zillion people with their heads in their phones walking round without looking where they are going, talking about magic carps and team blue. Wow this game has caught on quickly.

    I don't play it either but I knew what they were doing haha.

      thanks i'll have to get the ivysaur on the weekend.

      • G Wok on 11/07/2016 - 16:03

        are pokemon reliably regional though?

        ie. will it continue to appear in the next days/weeks following someone catching it in the same area?

        or is it pretty random

        • dasher86 on 11/07/2016 - 16:12

          pokemon tend to be somewhat regional i think but also more or less based on the type of pokemon it is.
          Water types will be found near water etc.
          I'm not quite sure of the cycles of when the rare ones come or go though.
