I'm in the UK, and whilst not common find them around town - basically the same places you'd expect to find Jigglypuffs - just ordinary town streets. Probably caught a dozen over 33 levels...
I've never seen wild Snorlax, Aerodactyl, Chansey or Lapras and don't know any local trainers who have. Some of the rarer pokes seem to be very thinly distributed.
Ever since the beginning of the game a porygon spawns at the end of my street every once in a while. It seems really randomly when this happens. I even got to the point that I don´t catch them anymore when I see them on my radar.
My street is just an average street. Nothing special about it. I hope you will find your porygon some day.
There are a couple spots near me that spawn them.
He's a rare spawn so instead of having nests there's normally a spawn point where they have an X% chance to show up each time it spawns a Mon - but only at one spot. Could be down the street, could be 20 miles away. Keep an eye on the rare spawn points in your area and try to figure out what they're spitting out.
There's a couple rare spawn points within a few blocks of where I live and they seem to be about 25% chance to show up each time Pokemon spawns. The one right next to my apt building has gone from Machop to Onix to Omanyte; it changes every so often (not always every migration)
What I'd do is check the silphroad nest atlas and look for past sightings. Make sure the date is recent - if it was a month or 2 ago it's probably moved.
