Where To Find The Best Pokemon In Each Australian Capital On Pokemon GO

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.
