Hi there! This is the L/A(Maine) poketrainer again. I’ve been training in the area and I have some more comprehensive knowledge about where to find gyms and pokemon. While I still assert that Bates College has the highest concentration I’ve seen, the pokemon in this area aren’t very rare. But still a great place to stock up on pokeballs. Let’s have a screenshot of Bates College on the map to give some idea what I’m talking about.
1. Auburn, by Court, Minot, and Union Streets. I am constantly spotting jynx here, but I’ve also seen growlithe, slowbro, and caught rhydon and goldeen, and also a ton of clefairy.
2. Lewiston, by Canal and Main Street. I’m always a seeing lot of water types here, and a few rare ones. I was passing though as a passenger one day and saw a vaporeon, and the next day there was a dratini. Also there are three pokestops in heritage park, and it seems like at least one of them has a lure going all the time.
3. As far as pure concentration of Pokemon, the Auburn Walmart has the best. I turned my game on because I was getting read to walk to the other side of the store and got mobbed by this:
Not pictured: a gastly I caught before I decided to snap this picture. They never had rare ones but they did have a lot fairly weighty eevees…until today. I caught a squirtle, and abra, and after I left this mob, a flipping dragonite spawned on top of me!
So yeah- I haven’t explored every corner of L/A, but here are some places you can go if you’re hunting in the area. If I find some more good pokemon hunting places, I’ll submit again! Also I’d love to have people put in input about places I might have glossed over.
