Pokemon Go players reveal best time to catch wild spawns & it’s not what you think

Events have always been a steady source of Pokemon Go fun, and trainers tend to keep an eye out for featured event spawns. Surprisingly, some players think the time between events is the best for spawn variety in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go trainers are always on the lookout for new Pokemon to add to their collections or PvP lineups. The best way to get loads of new species to farm candy and check them off the Pokedex is through wild spawns.

Wild spawns in Pokemon Go are also important during events, and as one of the core mechanics in the game, they are often the main source of featured activities such as Researches, Collection Challenges, and more.

Now, some trainers believe wild spawns are better, or at least, “more fun,” when no event is active in Pokemon Go. Here’s what Reddit users had to say about spawn variety in Pokemon Go when an event is not active.

Reddit user ‘Thophzilla’ and many others share the belief that Pokemon Go “has been more fun in between events than during most of them.” According to the OP, it has to do with the “extremely diverse and fun spawns” happening when no particular species are spotlighted.

The OP also shared their in-between-events wild spawn experience with the community: “Just the spawn variety has been FUN. I even caught a Jangmo-o during windy weather,” and added that they believe this encourages exploration, the way the game is meant to be played.

Other players also stated that they believe the game has a unique way to “punish static players,” and reward those who explore more. They also shared their disappointment with some recent events in the game: “Weather Week was the least fun I’ve had with an event this year thus far.”

So there you have it, next time you’re exploring in Pokemon Go, make sure to enjoy the wild spawns between events to catch ’em all. To help you with this task, here’s all you need to know about regional spawns in the game, and here’s every Pokemon that evolves by trading.
