‘Pokémon GO’ tips: Third-party developers reveal ideal time for Pokémon hunt

Several Pokemon Go-related crime incidences have been recorded in England since the app launched in July 2016.

As of today, the spawn rates for the augmented reality, "Pokémon GO," will never be a mystery for trainers, as third-party developers and dedicated fans of the game have released lists of specific time spawn for the Pocket monsters, which revealed the most encountered Pokémons in the game.  

Pokemonhub.net got their hands on a copy of an impressive database containing more than 500,000 Pokémon encounters, 400,000 Poke Stops and 57,000 gyms. Based on the data, the Pokémon spawning time appears to occur at the same time all over the world regardless of time zones.  

The initial data suggested that spawn and encounter distribution is mostly uniform during the day, while the peak number of Pokémon spawns appears at around 9 PM local time, while the lowest number happens at 12 AM local time.

Following the same report, it was found that more Pokémon tend to appear in the last two minutes of the hour. Other times of the day yield less Pokémon such as in the 40th and 41st minute of the hour.

Comparatively, the data, credited by Pokemon GO Champ to Poke Radar's prediction algorithm data set, shows the complete Pokemon Spawn Rate along with the time at which the Pokemon commonly spawns, with the chances of its spawn in any area of the world. It can be freely viewed by any trainers in Pokemon GO Champ's website.

From the list, it is shown that Charizard spawns the most at 1:34 PM local time, while Growlithe appears the most at 3:57 AM local time and Exeggutor pops up more commonly at 12:34 PM. So overall, players should always target hunt at ending minutes of an hour, as the data suggests Pokemon spawn more often during those minutes.

The time is "Local Time" and the Most Active Spawn Time refers to the time of the highest number of spawns of that particular Pokemon observed worldwide.

Through the results compiled by dedicated forums and websites, it could be seen that Pidgey, Ratata, Zubat, Caterpie, Drowzee and Eevee were the most encountered Pokemon.

In short, players can now strategically choose the Pokemon they will collect through the most ideal time to capture them.
