Now thatPokémon Go ’s sweep the nationinto a frenzied dash to Catch ‘em All ™ , it ’s less a doubt of " Are youplayingPokémon ? " and more , " Holy crap , where did you find a Scyther ? " If that were n’t enough , the recent confirmation thatlegendary Pokémon like Zapdos and Articunoare shroud somewhere in the game has give people even more grounds to take the air blindly into dealings / graveyards .
Unfortunately , there ’s really no easy way of life of figuring out where the rarer Pokémon will engender in the game , short of compile a list with every known sighting thus far – which is exactly what one NYC Facebook group has done .
By crowdsourcing information on uncommon Pokémon sighting from its members , Pokemon Go NYChas compiled a database of firsthand account including location , borough , and meter of day . Of course , since they ’re crowdsourced , these sightings range from the helpfully specific ( ninetieth & 5th ) to the woefully broad ( Upper East Side ) .
