To be a high level Pokémon trainer, it will require you a lot of effort. At first, you are all hype figuring out how the game works, however, after a few weeks the game will start to feel like a serious grind if you want to keep up on the game.

"Pokémon GO" is a location based augmented reality game developed by Niantic. The game requires players to use a GPS capable device to locate, capture, battle and train virtual creatures called Pokémon, who appears on the screen as if they were in the same real-world location. The reality game debuted in the Philippines on Aug. 6.

A recent analysis of more than 500,000 Pokémon encounters, 400,000 Poke Stops and 57,000 gym has been made. In the analysis, spawn and encounter distribution is equal throughout the day, but at 9:00 p.m. local time, Pokémon appearances are at its peak, Pokémon Go Hub reported. Database time are all local time suggesting that the spawn time are the same throughout the globe.

The analysis also revealed that a Pokémon will appear in the wild at any time of the day, but there are specific times when you can really expect to catch the kind of Pokémon you have been wanting to catch. Say for example a Charizard, which spawns the most at 1:34 p.m local time, while Growlithe spawns the most at 3:57 a.m local time.

The spawn rate in "Pokémon GO" plays a major role if you want to find the rare Pokémon. A spawn rate chart was recently published by Pokémon GO Champ. The data used in the publication was from Poke Radar's algorithm data set which is said to be highly accurate.

"Poke Radar" is an app built by "Pokémon GO" enthusiast for "Pokémon GO" enthusiasts as well. It shows real time locations of all the Pokémon around the world that have been recently caught by other "Pokémon GO" trainers. "Poke Radar" is available for iOS devices.
