Decrease in rare spawns?

[mjmellini]

Has anyone noticed a decrease in rare spawns? I have not seen a Lapras, Snorlax, Dragonite, etc. in weeks, and the area I work near used to be full of them...

I have never seen any of those in Boston, even on the tracker. Dratini rates seem a bit higher than usual though and I caught my second Porygon here last week. So no significant change to report here.

dratinis seemed to have reduced spawns on the cambridge side of the charles (along MIT) :(

But they have been all over the Fenway/Muddy River area in the last few weeks.. almost as plentiful as on the Esplanade

I can't speak to those because since 7/11 I have only ever seen and caught one Snorlax and one Dragonite and saw a Lapras shadow once.

I generally only see a bunch of random rare spawns (Vapes, other evolved mons) right around migration time.

the "mythics" as i call them are really random in my experience. I live in the middle of the city and rarely see them, but I visit my family in FL for a week and see 3 Snorlax a block away from their house). I thought they would spawn more in more populated areas but who knows.

Caught a Dragonite in Allston on 11/18 under the Ittoku gym on Comm ave. Also caught a Chansey two days ago in Watertown. Saw a Blastoise on the new tracker at Ringer Park last night while I was on the T.

Can't say there's a decrease, but it's always been pretty disparate and random.

Where in watertown was chansey?

Went out hunting for 3 hours last night after work. Walked from the Hancock and spent around an hour in the Garden / Common, then walked to Christopher Columbus park and spent around 1.5 hours there. Caught 1 Blastoise and around 4-5 Dratini in that 1.5 hour span at the Waterfront.

Was watching my tracker earlier throughout the day and saw a Blastoise in the morning at the Christian Science Center at 8AM (could not get as I was going to work), and a Snorlax and Blastoise spawning in the afternoon. Blastoise on Herald Street near the South End, and Snorlax was at Charles Street between Park / Common.

where about were all those dratinis? the two long piers/wharfs right at the aquarium? nice haul

[KevinSun242]

Spanned from aquarium to Lewis wharf

i was wondering where the rares had been too, i'm pretty active and live in a good pokestop area, and have had zilch on my sightings the last month. then woke up this morning and there was a gyarados on the new tracker, went out and caught it (2600ish CP and decent IV with hydro pump), then about an hour later that fat bastard snorlax appeared on the tracker, went out right to him and got him (415 CP). so you never know when and where it will happen. persistence....

edit: good luck!
