Some Pok\u00e9mon only appear in specific biomes, which means you might only be able to find a handful of specific Pok\u00e9mon rather than the ones you're hunting to get. The biomes have to do with your real-world surroundings. Your exact location dictates your biome, which provides your Pok\u00e9mon spawns while playing Pok\u00e9mon Go. Recognizing what biomes they are and where you need to go to reach those locations can be vital, especially during specific events where a Pok\u00e9mon only spawns at a particular biome for a limited time. All biomes and where to find them in Pok\u00e9mon Go Biomes have been in Pok\u00e9mon Go for quite a while, but with the Rediscover Kanto event, they have been given more strict guidelines, and there could be specific tasks you need to complete based on those requirements. They also have unique visual effects when you attempt to catch a Pok\u00e9mon, making it easier to know when you're in that distinct biome. These are the biomes you can find while playing Pok\u00e9mon Go, the type of Pok\u00e9mon you can expect to see there, and where you need to go geographically to expect these conditions. We\u00a0expect\u00a0to add more as we learn about them, as Niantic has not shared every location with the community, allowing players to discover them by exploring. All Pok\u00e9mon Go Biomes Description Pok\u00e9mon encounters Beach The Beach biome is strictly available when walking on sand next to the oceans. You may need to be on the coast or near large bodies of water to trigger this one. Expect to encounter Fire, Water, Ground, and -type Pok\u00e9mon and those that resemble fish. City These are locations with large buildings around them. Expect to find this biome in largely populated areas. You can expect to encounter Normal, Electric, Flying, Fighting, Ghost, Steel, and Bug-type Pok\u00e9mon. Forest Locations with multiple trees, far away from cities, or out in the middle of nowhere. You can expect to find Lake, River, and Mountain biomes nearby, as well. Expect to encounter Bug, Grass, Poison, Flying, and Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon. Lake These large bodies of water are closer to inland locations, away from beaches and coasts. Expect to find several Forest, River, and Mountain biomes nearby. Expect to find Bug, Grass, and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. Mountain The Mountains can appear in multiple locations, but these should be hills and large climbing locations, typically outside the city, although cities might have some nearby. Expect to encounter Ground, Rock, Fighting, Steel, Dark, and Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon. Ocean The Ocean biome is typically close to the Beach one, and you may need to distance yourself safely on a boat or when traveling to encounter this one. Expect to encounter Flying and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon, and those that resemble fish. River Similar to the Lake, these are smaller bodies of water, typically in Forests, and nearby Lakes and Mountains. Expect to encounter Bug, Grass, Poison, and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Rediscover-Kanto-Grass.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206611"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1206611"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1206684,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206611\/revisions\/1206684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1206505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1206611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1206611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1206611"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1206611"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1206611"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1206611"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1206611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
