Finalization

Before heading off to the location of the Pokémon you are searching for, consider a few things; Grant Park’s GO Fest is hosting many Pokéstops, because of this and the limited area, many Pokémon from specific biomes will cross over to other biomes. The list above isn’t strictly saying that those Pokémon shall only be found in their respective biomes, but that their spawn rates are considered higher in said biomes.

Please note that this list may be incomplete, as there is no strict guide up until now outlining the location of many Pokémon spawns that have been reported from the event.

Have fun, and stay safe, Trainers!
