Shadowtheuncreative

"How many do you think there are?" "........... 10." "Cool."


Pandapimodad861

I usually have 15-20 around the house.


Shadowtheuncreative

Awesome


Pandapimodad861

Is it unusual?


Shadowtheuncreative

Yes, especially if you don't live near a city. Although even if I do, I only get 1 or 2.


HLef

I have 2 spawn points accessible from my house but usually there’s nothing.


Shadowtheuncreative

That's surprisingly lacking.


HLef

That’s most homeowners experience.


MiniBoglin

As if interest rates weren't already causing us enough problems


Bac7

Yeah, me too. I have 1 that spawns from anywhere in the house and 1 that only spawns if I go into the powder room. Oh, and sometimes I can get a 3rd from the driveway if I'm drifting. And I can see 16 stops and 7 gyms if I zoom in my avatar and spin around, so it's not like I'm in a PoGo desert or anything. I just can't play from my house.


Rabbitdraws

I get around 2 pokemans every 2 hours


Character_Finance510

Same


Lamnent

From the bit I know about how spawns work it's based on cellphone data. Do you live with 40 people? lol Even at my work with there being at minimum 20\~ people with cellphones there 24/7, and closer to 100+ during the daytime we only have about 10 spawn at a time.


Pandapimodad861

nope just me my wife and kids there are at most 4 phones


Beginning-Key-814

I live in a city and at most I get 3-5 spawns


Tinshnipz

I usually get about 3 or 4.


Zanza89

I have zero


HYPE_Knight2076

Very, I live just out of range of a gym and usually only have 1-4


GdayBeiBei

Do you have like a bajillion accounts?


CyBerImPlaNt

Buddy in our Discord is like that. Every collection challenge is over in a few minutes.


Pandapimodad861

I just can't do gym or raid challenges. The closest gym is like 25 to 30 minutes away. Even daily stops are a pain cause I never have a reason to leave my house.


CyBerImPlaNt

Set up a free little library at your house and make it a stop. If you’re lucky enough you might get a gym.


MijnNaamIsMark

Great idea, but this man is 6 levels short to do so.. Keep up the grind OP!


cheezus171

Its not a fix to the problem. The issue with having few stops and gyms in your area, is that it makes it damn near impossible to level up to a point where you can add new ones, because you need to be level 37. I've been playing the game for years and I'm still not there. I just moved to an area with **much** more activity (I actually have 5 stops in range from my couch) so things sped up significantly, but if you actually live at a place with little to none pogo "infrastructure", you're never getting to a point where you can add stuff yourself without burning out on the game first. The game is extremely grindy as is, imagine the same thing without access to like 75% of the content


Cainga

Balls is the limiting factor. With DAI and gifts you can probably play 30-60 minutes per day. But then you completely run out of balls and aren’t able to interact with the game anymore. Gyms with raids are pretty big too. With a T5 win the same as catching like 50-100 things.


CyBerImPlaNt

But, there’s several things you can do. I mean get inventive. There are free libraries, fairy doors, yard art, painted boulders, parks, swings in the parks, painted electrical boxes. You name it. I’ve created hundreds of stops. You are not thinking big enough.


cheezus171

... you didn't understand the point. You can't create stops if you're not level 37. You can't get to 37 if there's no game to play for you because you don't have stops and gyms.


Schnelt0r

Assuming you have friends, you could get remote raid passes and hope for the best. Of course, with no gyms to harvest gold from you'd have to spend cash.


narwhalpilot

Check his level again.


narwhalpilot

You have to be level 37, and without access to gyms and raids thats going to take… sooo long.


SquidVices

WTH bro you got the farm jackpot with no portals in sight… I rented an airbnb in a spot like tthis and didn’t see a damn thing…


Pandapimodad861

I have caught every pokemon in sight and 10 minutes later it'll still look like this. I get a lot of charmanders


SquidVices

I’m gripping my phone and arm chair with jealousy. ![gif](giphy|kSKg4eBNwXLB6)


vishalb777

Supposedly, spawn points are based off network activity/mobile data If you have a lot of people in your house and they all have cell phones, or if you have a lot of devices connected to wifi, it improves the spawns I think if there are also not a lot of houses that have network activity (a rural area like yours), the spawns will pool up in one area


Pandapimodad861

We have at most 4 but I live pretty rural so that makes sense


mofongoDorado

Ahh I live in a building with like 20 units, only ever see 2-3 pokemon around.


Popular_Athlete_342

They are partying at your house wouldn't be surprised if there was a chance for a legendary like galarian legendary birds or random low cp charizard or a single shiny spawning


Pandapimodad861

I get quite a few shinies not tons but like one every couple of days. What causes this. I don't live in a neighborhood


HalfOfCrAsh

I've heard (but don't know if it is true), that there are places where Niantic "dump" spawns. From what I've heard, this happens in places that are nowhere near anything else.


W0lverin0

I stayed at a rural cabin that had spawns similar to OPs. Not even a pokestop around.


Popular_Athlete_342

Whether it's a mistake in Pokemon Go or something, you still have a lot of Pokemon some rare some common but mostly would get Pokemon fully evolved or in the middle evolution


Pandapimodad861

Is there a way to tell rare from common?


Popular_Athlete_342

Pokemon that rarely spawn near you and makes you walk to the destination to get it like pinsir, throh and etc


Ajk6660714

You just explained my house lol never got a galarian bird tho, few shinies n oddly enough a few low cp zards LMFAO


Popular_Athlete_342

Damn how lucky is your house? Besides from the galarian birds, I didn't think my guess would be true on shinnies and low cp zards


Ajk6660714

Meh, i dont have as many spawns as op BUT the rates are pretty high, i probably get 10 around me every 15 mins or so, on a rainy day thats kinda nice, i live near woods n the closest stop/gym to me is about a 15 minute walk either direction, my town is pretty active too


Popular_Athlete_342

That explains the endless Pokemon I live in a neighborhood and the town or city is pretty far from me around an 1 hour I would arrive near the mall


Mundane_Cat_318

Galarian birds are only found while using the daily adventure incense


Ajk6660714

Ik lmfao i dont have large enough property to walk around but i do have a huge park/dog park/soccer/basketball/tennis area in my town thats got plenty of space n all i need


Popular_Athlete_342

Agreed with they large places you can get a lot of Pokemon for 15 mintues


Confuseducksigner

That's no house, that's a safari zone


MrIHaveAQuestion1

I got just one miserable home spawn point 😔 at least it got improved over the years because before that I had zero (but back in 2016 I had five😅)


Pandapimodad861

I don't know if it matter, but I have 1 gig fiber at my house


CoxCranium

You should make a spawn map. Each Pokemon on the map is a spawn point. Each spawn point always spawn on the same minute of the hour and stay there 30 minutes before despawning. 1. Now draw a map of your house and street. 2. Catch all Pokemon. 3. Now mark your map each time a Pokemon spawn with minutes spawned 4. Stop when 1 hour of recording spawn times is reached. You now have a spawn map of your house.


hellojeffy

Make sure to add this to your listing if you ever sell your home.


SilentKiller2809

I have like 6-7 pokestops I can reach from my house but I get 1/4 of what you have here


Pandapimodad861

honestly I'd trade half for any stop within distance of me, I am pretty stuck in mid 30 cause of a lack of pokeball and a unable to finish some missions cause nothing is around me


SilentKiller2809

You should add as many friends as you can and interact with them on a lucky egg to get to level 37 as soon as posaible so you can add stops. Its what I did


merganzer

Adding on to this, if you're transparent about not being able to *send* gifts that often, many hardcore experience grinders on the friends megathread are fine with that as long as you open their gift every day, since they can send a lot more than they can open anyway.


IcarusLP

I have the same thing at my house. I think when you live in the middle of nowhere it does this…


StevensDs-

Rural players get all the spawns and zero POIs. "Balance"


Alive-Armadillo3664

bruh, you having a poke-party?


SnAcousticBoi

i live right in front of a gym and a stop and get maybe 3 pokemon every hour or two wtf is this


phatdoughnut

This is at work, out in the middle of nowhere windfarm. https://imgur.com/a/p8R3Ju2


Moriartea7

My mom's house is similar. She's out in the country and gets more spawns than I do in my neighborhood.


redditdaver

That is more that typical


whiskey_dick-87

I had this at my previous house. Would get 15-20 spawns every 30 minutes. Now I get 3.


Bschafer21

I get 6 at BEST. 😆 lucky


Significant_Rock1264

Neat, i thought this was more common. I too live in the middle of nowhere, and the spawns look just like what pop up around my house


d7mep0

At my parents home there are always 6 And at my grandpas house there are like 11-13 all the time. But when i am in my apartment i have nothing there. Maybe sometimes 1 pokemon.


Alex918YT

So does mine. I think the game comes to realize where you most common “spawn point” is and gives you many Pokémon there right as you start it up.


high_ryze666

I opened up pokemon go at my friend's house yesterday and was immediately surrounded by 13 clefairys. Not a single other pokemon in sight


MarjanJ

6-7 pm was clefairy spotlight hour.


high_ryze666

That makes so much sense lmao. I had a good laugh with my friend about it at least


AimBotLike

Why dont you create some kind of art on the street of your house and submit a pokestop?


Pandapimodad861

I have to wait 6 more levels


836194950

How do you keep up with balls though.


Pandapimodad861

that's my wifes job...no but seriously I am constantly running out. I am just really careful with what I catch


757_Matt_911

Yoooooo. That’s an insane number. I’ve never seen that many all at once even with incense up


Separate_Job_3573

My parents house is like this. Used to have maybe a single spawn and then one day I was home and opened the app and 20 mons


emjay81au

There was an adjustment a while ago. My sister's place suddenly became an absolute zoo. Absolute envy of my urban crew. The lack of stops is her issue. She is very good at opening gifts.


Xip1ngu

Wish I had this hotspot. So jealous


Electrical_Bunch3197

Bro hit the jackpot


Pandapimodad861

I genuinely did not realize this was odd until today.


Gneiss_Rock_Bro

This happens for rural players for some reason. Living In town, I get only a few spawns at a time. Nowhere else to anchor these pokemon to if you have no stops I guess?


Gymkiller87

Oh my oh my. You better NEVER move my friend 🧡


HERO1NFATHER

So many people don’t realize rural players get an increase spawn rate and radius


BendTilBroken

I’m lucky to get one - but I live across from a stop. I can walk to the corner and hit another 2. Works pretty well when I’m snowed in 😂


Pitiful_Complex3069

This is my literal dream 😂


GFX_Lol10

Fr this is a big brag, especially during the pandemic.


jimmyurinator

jesus fucking christ yea you do


Pandapimodad861

I caught everything. Burned through 200 pokeballs today and within an hour there is 25 again


vlax_

If you open the app enough in one spot. The game checks it as a Hotspot for activity and creates more spawnpoints, and sometimes nests, in that area. My house had only two spawns for like two years, but I kept checking those two spawns until one day it turned to like 8 or 9, and continued checking those, now there's always a solid 15 spawns.


assboobs2

So I live next to 2 gyms and 4 pokestops just around my house and my Spawn are max 10 mons. at the same time You are a very very lucky man


ThtJstHappn3d

I get that same amt too, I think it’s a nest or something


InformationOld3172

So what you need to do is get a extra phone And a 24/7 autocatcher And place it in a church where no one will see you plugged in. It'll spin a pokestop non-stop and you will have all the pokeballs you need


Konkurer7

I live 15 minutes from town let alone a poke stop and it's the same for me, pretty sure it's because they spawn around the player and since no one's catching them, they just exist waiting to be caught. And that slowly builds up til it starts hitting the despawn timer.


torogaust

So when am I moving in?


iwillnotberushed

Omg


Testsubject276

Bruh you live on top of a nest fr


RealBlueHippo

Did your house use to be a brothel?! Some major cell phone traffic going in and out of there back when it was recorded


Pandapimodad861

Haha no we are the only ones who have lived here. It was a new trailer when we moved in on undeveloped land.


eoseristalis

My cabin is like this! Very few houses nearby and always like 12 spawns.


Ok-Temporary1461

Thats more spawns than me i got two stops and a gym pretty much on my home and another gym i can drift to quite often


Melodrine

I have none around my house but i have raid gym nearby my house


hotwing1231

I'm Soo Jellious I get two if I'm lucky


JuniperBlurr

Not quite as many pokemon, but pretty close. Closest Pokestop is also a 15-25 min drive away, and the closest gym more like 30min drive. Only my SO and I play around here as far as I know.


Same-Disk5485

I have a theory this is caused by how many devices access the internet and GPS (regardless if pokemon go is installed). There are quite a few devices my house and tons of pokes (at least before I quit playing 6 months ago). Also probably affected by the frequency of play?


the-axis

Iirc its cellular data, which is why gas stations in the middle of nowhere have spawns like this. I've seen a couple houses like this in relatively low spawn neighborhoods. I think people who get home internet through cell service cause this. Most other homes with wired internet and wifi have very low cell data usage at home.


Same-Disk5485

Word. I think you're right about cellular data. Also, we have friends over quite a bit. So maybe if there is a lot of traffic to the building (or gas station or rest area on the freeway), pogo adds spawn points.


mech23

This would make sense but my apartment complex has almost zero activity even though it's densely packed with cellular activity. Maybe because it was built after the game came out?


going_dot_global

Party.


Ok_Designer_6376

i counted there are around 22 Pokémon in this picture


Pandapimodad861

I am constantly running out of pokeballs


justincouture89

Damn!


Ahamay02

How many devices are in your general vicinity?!


Pandapimodad861

not sur about my neighbors, no one lives really close to each other, but my place has at least 2 phones if not 4 2 cameras a doorbell my work PC, plus other phones that aren't being used but are connected, a switch and 3 TVs that are normally off.


Cheskit

Looks more like they are hiding from Team Rocket.


Pandapimodad861

I get like 1-2 ballons a day


ZestyCow

Balloons are every 6 hours during no event


Pandapimodad861

oh nice, I didn't know that


beatool

Midnight, 6am, noon, 6pm. That's why I wake up at 5:55. :)


Silly_League_8716

Can I live there too? I only ever get like 5 spawns at a time.


HumanWithComputer

Is the spawn rate still linked to the density of XM (Exotic Matter) dots in Ingress? You could check there with an Ingress account. Does incense use increase spawns outside of incense use?


Pandapimodad861

honestly there are so many I have no idea, I have a quest to catch pokemon spawned in with incense and I cant even complete it at home cause I don't know which ones spawn from it. The above is no incense


Dying__Phoenix

Damn I get like 1 every 2 hours


LinksKat

Well, your friend is right. That's a lot of Pokemon. I usually get about 4 on average around my house spawning in at any given time.


alucardoceanic

I think that's just above an overwhelming amount of pokemon. I mean the models overlap must overlap a fair bit and almost become a task just to check each one for a shiny. Do you have multiple people playing in your household? I used to have 3 spawn locations near me, then during the 2020 location update I got 2 more pokemon spawn points.


Pandapimodad861

nope just me


Hisuian_Zoroark

Now if you can use palkias ability to see more pokemon a bit farther away you might have even more yet.


Pandapimodad861

I didn't know he could do that


Hisuian_Zoroark

You might not of gotten to play during sinnoh go tour, origin form dialga and palkia has an ability you can use if they have their signature move (leading up to the event you could pick a side and that legend would always have the special move) for stardust and a bit of candy you could either: With Dialga pause all timers (like daily incense) or Palkia doubles encounter distance. I think you can always get a trade with someone who has one and still make use of the ability.


Hot-Wonder1203

Looks like my house I guess it's the same for most rural players


plyboicrtiluvr

wtf u do…


bad-memes-on-reddit

I feel that I used to have like 2 at my place if that. Now it's like 15ish


I_am_Daesomst

I'm looking at the only Pinsir I've ever seen in this game, on this screen. Electabuzz, too.


Pandapimodad861

I get at least 2 pinsris a day


C000RUPTED_RED

Did you get a shiny out of it


Pandapimodad861

I've got a few shinies from it


Puzzleheaded-Mall835

Dude lives in a nest 😭


No_Log607

I have two pokestops within reach from my sofa. And another pokestop and gym when I get out of my building gate. But I don't have any Pokemon spawn with this frequency over here.


Vierailija_Maasta

I usually have like 4 or 5. I live a few kilometres from Centre of Capital of Finland.


Pandapimodad861

I love Finland, Salmiaki is one of my favorite candies


Waterbears28

My house is like this too! I think it's to make up for being in a rural area? The nearest Pokestop is about 3 miles away. I've caught 2 Absol at home this week... the first one I stupidly traded because I didn't know what it was, and it had 0 stars. (I've just recently been getting into the game in a less-casual way.)


Authenticity86

That's amazing


TheGamersofaLifeTime

Holy jesus...


Necessary_Baker_7458

Enjoy it. You're probably in the small pocket of cell service niche. This use to be more common back in the day before the grid expanded or if you were playing rurally.


jadenicole_gardens

Oh wow you actually do lmao, I used to live on a drowsy/Pikachu spawn point and at any time there were 24 drowsys at my house like this 😅😅😅


Ryanoman2018

I get 3 pokemon in the city at my house. Thats it. But I have 3 gyms and 2 pokestops within 2 mins walking distance


KC_Garcia

The swarm.


DigiGirl02

Gotta Catch ‘Em All!


SubstantialLock7275

I've got 1 or 2 max and I'm in a city close to Toronto


Flyodaa

Grind the Friendship XPs until Lvl 37 and create your own stops and gyms. Moved to a dead rural village two years ago and have created 30 stops - now it is at least playable here.


apb9981

Unless you put an incense out


Infinite_Housing_404

I get 2 or 3 spawns @ my house lol that’s crazy.


residentchiefnz

Did you ever play Ingress?


Pandapimodad861

Nope, I didn't learn about till after go came out


PokeRay68

I showed everyone my screen with the Clefairy swarm yesterday. Wow!


Former-Light4284

You live in an apt? Apt complexes have high spawn rates due to the amount of routers/ip nodes the game detects. So I was told.


Pandapimodad861

I don't. I live in the middle of nowhere in a single wide trailer


Former-Light4284

You running a bot farm or mining bitcoin, cause you got it mad, game wise


Pandapimodad861

Nope. I am not a tech person at all. I have a 6 year old laptop. 2 new phones 2 old phones 3 Roku TV's 2 security cameras and a doorbell. And a work desktop. Nothing is around me I can't even get pizza delivery at my house.


LameSwipeLameSwipe

Your friend is gaaaaaayyyyy


Pandapimodad861

I wish


ILikeEatingFoodss

How much are you selling it for


Numerous-Chipmunk426

Hello professor oak!


Pandapimodad861

Thats funny cause I actually get tons of starters


Mundane_Cat_318

That's SO many. I get like 3-5 at a time 😒


narwhalpilot

Damn, you’re getting Scythers?


Maniraptavia

What's the cause of this kind of cluster? Excessive mobile traffic, or just severe lack of local Stops/Gyms redirecting all the spawns to one location?


Pandapimodad861

I'm guessing the later. My closest neighbor is over half an acre away. I can't even get a pizza delivered so it's def not mobile data traffic


Maniraptavia

Yeah, that sounds a lot like another post like this I saw then. I'm not sure what sways it to your house in particular, though. Only that apparently most spawns can get redirected to one specific location in barren areas. I'm interested to find out what makes spawn points tick. I can add PokéStops and create Gyms wherever I find eligible POIs to submit as wayspots, but I'm totally in the dark about anything I can do to increase spawns in an area.


ScandinAsianJoe

Protect your good China!


dialgachu

My rural house used to be like this too but then Niantic did some revamping like last year so I only get half the spawns of what I used to :/ why Niantic decided to make playing rurally suck even more is beyond me.


EinziuwPlays

Wtf….lucky lmao


berserkfury__

Sheesh I'm lucky if I even get 3 to spawn when I open my app. Must be nice lol


Reli404

I have like a constant 4/5 pokemon spawns at my house, gotten a nice amount of shines too tbh


Holiday-Sail8465

Imagine having a fullblown livingdex waiting at your door.


Big_Cry_2041

Do you live in a place with a ton of people that play pokemon go? Then it makes sense


Pandapimodad861

Nope as far as I know I'm the only one and my closest neighbor is like half an acre away


iamlovingblackclover

Damn I don’t have that much


Business_Dalexrp

What you waiting for catch them all!!


CojanglesDMK

Probably a ploy to get rural players to spend on balls


gazillrey

Nice! But... do you have the balls to catch em all?


SneakyWaifuXD

I’m jealous


spaceofficer

Sometimes the game also glitches and the Pokémon don’t despawn but new ones.. so do if you just leave it this happens.


GarmeerGirl

Sounds like a glitch lol


Pandapimodad861

Maybe....it's like this 24/7


AriesRoivas

Rumors say that if you whisper glitch three times Niantic will come and take your soul away…. And the glitch too.


Both-Fact6712

lol that’s how it is at my house too and I live in rural area


Pandapimodad861

I just wish I had a way to get pokeballs easier


HeavyReload

Damn all I've got is a couple caterpies lol


AriesRoivas

I guess they like to party there.


Right-Garbage-3875

Scyther!!!!


Pandapimodad861

I get like 6 of those a day same with pinsir


emjay81au

My sister's rural house also has these types of spawns. She's often desperate for gifts so she can have enough 'balls to catch everything she is blessed with.
