In Viridian Forest, it’s possible to encounter your very first rare spawn. As their name suggests, rare spawns are wild Pokémon with a very low chance of appearing. Additionally, these Pokémon aren’t listed in the area’s Habitat information in the Pokédex.
Finding a Rare Spawn¶
There are two ways to increase the chance of finding a rare spawn.
- By using a Lure, Super Lure or Max Lure.
- By creating a high Catch Combo.
Ideally, you want to do both.
Below is a table outlining how the Catch Combo affects the chance.
Catch Combo | Rare spawn rate |
---|---|
1 to 5 | x2 |
6 to 10 | x3 |
11 to 20 | x4 |
21 to 30 | x5 |
31+ | x6 |
Sometimes, it may not be convenient to build a Catch Combo in a particular area. Fortunately, the increased rare spawn rate carries over even if you go to a different area. So you could build up a Catch Combo in an area with plentiful of a certain Pokémon, then move to the area where you want to actually find the rare spawn.
