To be a real Pokemon Master you need to collect as many breeds of Pokemon as possible. To achieve this on Pokemon GO, you will need to do a bit of legwork to find them all. There isn’t exactly an official map that tells you where each type of Pokemon is lurking but don’t worry, we’ve got your back. We’ve put together a list of the most sought after Pokemon and their likely locations in each capital city. Here are the details.

The distribution of Pokemon differs from region to region; what’s rare in Sydney may be plentiful in Melbourne. Comparison website Finder.com.au has crowdsourced a list of Pokemon locations to help GO players seek out ones they have yet to capture. Bear in mind the list shows where these Pokemon are likely to appear. Occasionally, you’ll find a rare one that will appear out of nowhere.
We’ve picked out 10 iconic and popular Pokemon from the Finder list and compiled their location information for each capital city into the handy table below. If it’s unlisted, chances are there isn’t a concentration of that particular type of Pokemon in that capital city just yet.
Sidenote: I wonder if Pokemon GO will eventually spur more interstate travel by Pokemon GO fanatics (I’m trademarking the term “Pokemon Pilgrimage) If so, Canberra would see an influx of tourists. The Australian capital seems to be teeming with rare Pokemon.

Unfortunately, you won’t find Mew and Mewtwo on the list as they’re event specific and we don’t have any information on them at this stage.

I found a Dragonite at North Sydney
The Nearby Map showed an Onix near Guildford Station
We’ve picked up a Vulpix on the Bonner/Forde border in Canberra. We—I mean my partner, the arsehole—have also hatched a Snorlax from 10K egg found in Bonner.
Can confirm Dragonite at Lilydale Lake. Mine was 150 CP. It’s also raining dratini there.
Just caught and Lapra multiples times at Mentone beach, Victoria
It lists a place called Maze in Brisbane. Does anyone know where in Brisbane that is? I have lived in Brisbane for years and have never heard of it.
Got a porygon at the George Harcourt Canberra.
Saw a Porygon at Perth Zoo yesterday. Unfortunately, he got away despite getting him with my first ball.
I can confirm I have found Pikachu, Onix and Vulpix all at Hindmarsh Square in Adelaide.
I call shenanigans on this list! They are everywhere!!!
My gf got a Jynx at Rhodes station, we both got an Onyx at Rhodes and a Golem and also a few Pikachus
you can also get pikachu at enmore park in sydney, you can get like 3 of them
In Brisbane, check out the Botanic Gardens in the city for Jynx. The park by Nundah station reliably spawns Vulpix. UQ at St Lucia is crawling with Slowpokes and Psyducks. Coro Drive or anywhere along the river is good for Magikarp and Krabby, and South Bank has quite a few Bellsprouts. The Botanic Gardens at Mt Cootha was a bit of a bust- mostly zubats.
We’re still hunting for a good spot for dratini =\
Gardens point old government house:: is what I’ve heard if you want Dratini,Onyx , Ryhorn , Rydon , Magicarp , Ghastly , Voltorb and Pinsir.
Just another place I’ve heard of is along the Brisbane River. (Coronation Rd. Toowong)
I have gotten like 5 Jynx, at the Sydney technology park. Mostly opposite the post office corner of Davy rd and Henderson rd in the park. I live local so I go there often
I found a couple snorlaxs in my nearby list while travelling through ashgrove in Brisbane it also hatches from 10km eggs
I caught an Onyx at long beach near the tidal polls pokestop and an electabuzz at Taroona Park (taroona crescent entrance) – can admin add these to the Hobart ones please 🙂
Found a Porygon at Lane Cove bowling club, weird ey?
I caught Pikachu on the side of the highway just below the Governor General’s house in Hobart.
Just caught dratini and lapras at Mentone beach multiple times
got a charizard out in rhodes.
Found a Snorlax at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
I just spotted Kangaskhan in Darwin but I ran out of pokeballs and couldn’t get him!!!! Argh
hey I’m from Perth and we can get Jynx in King’s Park or around Highgate and I’ve heard there’s sometime san Onyx next at Centenary Park (spelling?) in Shelley.
Found lapras in melb cdb
I got a Blowie at Hole In The Wall in Jervis Bay
Many pikachus at Faulkner park – boat park( Simpsons park)

If anyone still plays this. I’m visiting a small town in wa and there’s nothing to do so I decided to fire this up. Ihave spotted a vulpix, onix, pikachu and a bunch of desert pokemon all in a 100m distance from where I am staying.
pokemon dont stay in one area. for pikachu it says for brisbane, lake eden in north lakes, i live in North Lakes and i have probably been around the lake like 20 times and i have only seen 1 pikachu
Canberra PoGo players run a regularly-updated nests list on Facebook ‘Pokémon Go Canberra – Nests, Spawn Points & Hot Spots’ – as well as passing all confirmed nest info to The Silph Road Nest Atlas
I don’t think Canberra is the PoGo Mecca this article makes out; probably just more info from here.
Try the oprea house in sydney….there is heaps of everything
