Spawning Diversity

I tend to hunt in the same areas from day to day. Today I hit a location I hadn’t been to in a while, and found a bunch of what had been rare spawns for me lately. Does your frequency around certain locations affect the kinds of Pokemon spawns?

Everyone gets the same spawns, your presence doesn't affect that.

No. Spawns are set. Biomes differ. I live in a grass biome lousy with Treecko but nary a Whismur. Next town east is the total opposite. Next town west is lousy with Aron. Three different biomes in a mile stretch.

Are there certain biomes more diverse than others? I caught a lot of stuff today I haven’t found in what are heavily spawning areas.

Case in point. Parks vs. Downtown. Busy Places vs. High Traffic. Starbucks vs. Sprint?

I think certain areas that don't qualify as nests can have non-biome spawns. There is a particular apartment complex near my house that seems to always have rare spawns not associated with our dominant grass/water biome and it also seems to have a higher rate of weather dependent spawns.

Where as at my office which is adjacent to a designated wetlands has a very heavy grass spawn rate. I'll see commons and bugs too, but everything else is actually rare.

I live in a desert biome. Water types have always been non-existant, to the point that completing the Dex entries for all those became a matter of luck with hatches... until January came and random water types have begun to increase in frequency, regardless of weather (which is always either clear or partially cloudy).Nowadays, it's not uncommon to find a random magikarp lying in the middle of the street at least thrice per day. No idea what changed.
