What Pokemon been on nearby radar but you not got?
 
I'm now at stage of hardly ever seeing or catching new Pokemon. I think the only one that does evolve that I still need is grimmer also need muk. All others are last evolutions or ones that don't evolve. I've seen aerodacyl, Lapras and porygon on nearby list but never seen them.

Illusionss August 22nd, 2016 4:57 AM

Recently seen pikachu, clefable, magmar and muk, all of which I still need and didn't manage to find them.

tranceking26 August 22nd, 2016 5:53 AM

There's a few but one is this Seel that is somewhere nearby.

CoalCraft August 22nd, 2016 6:01 AM

Charmander and abra both do this to me a lot D:

Sheep August 22nd, 2016 9:43 AM

Charmander, Rhyhorn, Dodrio. Found the Seadra but it ended up fleeing. Want Charmander and Rhyhorn already. ;__;/

Meganium August 22nd, 2016 9:53 AM

So far I had a Dewgong appear on my radar but it has not appeared for me.

Maserati777 August 22nd, 2016 10:00 AM

In my town I've seen Bulbasaur, Clefairy, Poliwrath, Tentacruel, Slowbro, Electabuzz, Pinsir, Lapras and Snorlax.


Most of these were before the update so they may have been ghost Pokémon, the others appeared recently but never spawned. I saw Bulbasaur twice, the others were all one time only.

merlintocs August 22nd, 2016 10:08 AM

Seel, Lickitung, Electabuzz, Kadabra, and Mankey have all been lurking on the radar, but have never popped up for me to try to catch.

Phoenixstarz August 22nd, 2016 12:00 PM

I keep seeing jigglypuff on nearby but can't find them, usually it comes on radar when I'm by an area that I wouldn't be able to get to, either it's in a lorry park or other side of railway tracks, other side of dual carriageway or anything like that.
Last few days I've failed to track squirtle quite a few times that it's actually getting really annoying

UltimateFrosty08 August 22nd, 2016 1:34 PM

I have like none because all of them usually are in my Sweet Spot

jjc927 August 22nd, 2016 7:41 PM

I've had Tauros, Rhydon, Pinsar, Shelder, Koffing, Weezing, and Venusaur come up nearby but not on my screen yet other than Pinsar but only for a second when the game first loaded one time.

Maserati777 August 23rd, 2016 10:27 AM

I forgot one that has appeared a couple times nearby but hasn't appeared, Cubone.

jjc927 August 23rd, 2016 7:19 PM

In addition to missing Tauros yet again, today while playing I had Scyther come up as nearby but it never showed up on my screen. Grr.

xShibbyx August 25th, 2016 7:00 AM

i saw Snorlax on my radar, did not even attempt to find it, it was when the nearby feature was all messed up. smh...

Dont think i will ever get a snorlax... ive hatched countless 10k eggs... been all over the city in my bike at all hours.... long walks long jogs.. ... still no snorlax,

ill probably get one when i give up the search

Lycanroc August 25th, 2016 4:38 PM

I've seen Squirtle a couple times, only run into one once and it ran away...

I also saw a Vulpix, Jigglypuff, and Jynx earlier. Really sad that I missed out on them, especially the Vulpix.

Razgrey August 25th, 2016 6:36 PM

I wanted Venonat but couldn't find it ):

Count August 26th, 2016 2:10 AM

One time there was a Gyarados nearby, before I had evolved Magikarp. I was having lunch somewhere though so I didn't just get up and run but it would have been nice.

Yesterday there was a Mr. Mime close by for quite a long time but I couldn't track it down. I do have one already but it's only got a CP of 64 so a stronger one would be nice.

Hiatus August 26th, 2016 2:38 AM

Charmander would be one of them. I've been able to catch the other two starters--at that, a bunch of times--but never this one.

Adamw92 September 4th, 2016 10:00 AM

Onix is such a tease with this, always appearing in sightings but never actually pops up anywhere. Same goes with Aerodactyl.

Bazillions September 4th, 2016 3:07 PM

Had a Ninetails run away on me a month ago. After that I haven't seen him on the radar until today. Couldn't track him down though :/

Kid=1412 September 4th, 2016 5:15 PM

Kabuto and Nidoqueen (from the same vicinity on different days).

Omastar - I had a chance on this but was very elusive. But now I think I get the general idea on the spawn location which is probably at the back side and not the front one facing the road)

Dragonite - I was on Uber when it got shown on my nearby sighting. I just started my trip and had to let go.

magicalgirlj September 4th, 2016 6:26 PM

I tried looking for the Bulbasaur nearby at the park today but it never showed up.

xShibbyx September 5th, 2016 6:24 AM

Dragonite was on my radar this past week while i was back home in california, Could not TRACK down though, so pissed...

Kabutops was on my radar when i was at the San Diego Zoo, was with a group so couldnt wander off...

whazup September 7th, 2016 1:09 PM

Sitting down with the family, watching tv, the Paralympics on channel 4 to be exact, and on my radar popped a vaporeon. I knew exactly where it would be since everything worth catching that spawns near my house spawns there.

However, I had to helplessly sit and watch it disappear before my eyes since I'm banned from running like a madman outside in the night to catch Pokemon.

So close yet so far ......

Iceman3k September 7th, 2016 2:34 PM

Lapras popped up on my radar today on my way home. I had groceries, so I couldn't get off to go back.

HyperMorian September 7th, 2016 4:42 PM

I have found some rare looking Pokémon through the radar, including Dragonair, Eevee, Aerodactyl (and they all vanished the moment I took a glance upom them).

Funny that I found Dodrio and Pinsir (have like 11 of it already, still crappy IVs and movesets) more frequently compared to how I found both Weedle and Pidgey.

Sheep September 12th, 2016 5:58 PM



I am quite heartbroken atm.

Mawa September 12th, 2016 7:02 PM

In my little place where there isn't anything.... I couldn't find the Vileplume :( I never got one.

Arjay September 13th, 2016 12:02 AM

Hoothoot and Quilava, in a dream I had the other day. :'(

tjumper78 September 13th, 2016 4:17 AM

theres an aerodactyl that's been hounding me for almost a month now. it's in edgewater nj. usually, i cant find/catch it because im driving. when i have some time and go to that area, s/he makes me walk around for 30 minutes by popping up on the nearby list and disappears.

Judge Mandolore Shepard September 13th, 2016 6:20 AM

Back on Sunday, three Pokemon that I saw on my list for nearby, but I have not got were the following:

Abra
Pikachu
Weepinbell

Well, since this post I've hatched a Seel, caught a Kadabra, and caught enough Mankeys to evolve one. I have recently seen an Onix and a Charizard on the radar, though. Of course they didn't spawn.

Adamw92 September 13th, 2016 11:40 AM

Onix has continued to hide from me and I'm getting really frustrated now. I can now add Dragonite to the list for me too

Arjay September 13th, 2016 12:25 PM

Never even seen an Onix on my nearby list. I'd love to find an Onix.

Maserati777 September 13th, 2016 5:14 PM

I saw Snorlax, Lickitung, Kabuto and Onix on my nearby radar today, unfortunately I wasn't in a position to look for them.


Onix was my first sighting of it.

ichiDad September 18th, 2016 7:29 AM

Snorlax, most notably. :(

However, I have managed to navigate toward and then capture several rare pokemon which appeared on my radar: Dragonair, Electrabuzz, Kabutops, Hitmonchan, Scyther.

dalekcaan1963 September 18th, 2016 9:07 AM

Magmar. I've got multiple Snorlaxes and Lapras's (one even spawned in my bedroom), I even have a Chansey I found in the wild, but no Magmars yet.

SonOfPickle September 18th, 2016 10:16 AM

All the rarest Pokemon appear nearby late at night for me, or just at bad times.

A Snorlax was nearby when I was about to go to sleep, so I didn't hunt it.
A Chansey was nearby right as my school bus departed, so I couldn't hunt that
A Scyther nest was nearby when my mom was driving on the highway, so I wasn't going to distract her and make her take an exit so I could catch it.

The Chansey was the worst for me... if it had appeared maybe 5 minutes earlier I would have been able to catch it (all the rare Pokemon spawn in the same area of my high school's campus, so I believe I know exactly where it was at.)

AliceBlaze September 18th, 2016 10:27 AM

One time, I checked the game while I was at home and I saw an Electabuzz on the radar. If I wasn't wearing my pajamas at the time, I would've gone out to look for it.

Another time, I saw a Wigglytuff on the radar so I went out to find it, but it disappeared shortly after I left the house.

Maserati777 September 19th, 2016 2:26 PM

I think I saw my 3rd or 4th Snorlax today. No idea where it was though. Walked around until it disappeared forever. If I knew which direction it was maybe I'd get a Snorlax.

tjumper78 September 20th, 2016 1:17 PM

at work earlier today, i opened my phone and saw a dragonite on the nearby list. i screamed "oh sh*t, a gradonite nearby!" (yes, i actually said gradonite out of excitement). my co-workers and i started running out but it disappeared as soon as we got outside. =O

Maserati777 September 20th, 2016 3:50 PM

Today I saw an Omanyte and a Kabuto on there.

Poké Bean September 22nd, 2016 11:42 AM

Quite a few but the ones that have disappointed the most in not appearing to catch are Rhyhorn, Porygon and Mankey. I still don't have any Fighting-types!

stormivy September 24th, 2016 9:06 PM

Lapras, Arcanine, Electrobuzz and Dratini.

Brendino September 24th, 2016 9:19 PM

I've seen Muk on my radar two or three times now, but I've still never seen it (or even Grimer) actually pop up.

About 2 weeks ago I saw a Nidoking show up in the radar near work, and I was actually able to track it down, only for the game to give me an error when I tried to click on it. I was a bit salty about it at the time, but I've saved up enough candies to evolve my Nidorino now, so I don't feel as bad.

Arjay September 25th, 2016 11:57 AM

On the way to work today, a Wigglytuff popped up on my nearby list. Never found it though and I had to abandon it to get to work on time. Must reassess my priorities.

Kotone September 25th, 2016 2:56 PM

there was a scyther on my radar. no idea where he was though. today my boyfriend hatched one..grr..

Sheep September 29th, 2016 2:43 PM

Saw Vulpix again today. Yet it didn't show up?!! I mean. Why I'm lv. 21 and still no Vulpix. -cry-

Maserati777 September 29th, 2016 4:26 PM

I saw my first Gengar on the nearby map. Unfortunately I was on the interstate so it wasn't near the road, it was probably in one of the towns we passed.


I'm pretty close to evolving Haunter though.

ichiDad October 10th, 2016 2:01 PM

"Sightings" would be vastly improved if it included the compass direction of the sighting. As it is, I can only randomly walk in some direction, quickly! If something disappears off the Sightings, I know I am going in the wrong direction, or it is already gone. But that is about it. Very frustrating! Rarely, I guess right, or else double back fast enough to find it.

"Growlithe NE" would be a fantastic improvement! After all, if you glimpsed some pokemon, wouldn't you know the direction?

Maserati777 October 11th, 2016 5:20 PM

It's really a 1 in 8 directions you can go.


Then if you walk far enough and the Pokémon is still on screen then you have another 7 directions to pick.


If you picked wrong and the Pokémon disappears from the nearby it usually doesn't reappear if I turn around. It despawns in 10 minutes or if you walk far enough away from it which isn't hard to do.




At this point the remaining Pokémon I need for the dex I'm hoping to hatch from eggs, of course one egg at a time makes it very slow. I doubt I'll complete the Pokedex.


Anyways I had Dragonair appear on the nearby map again, but it was no where to be seen.

Miau October 11th, 2016 10:36 PM

I had Gengar the other night on my nearby list just as I was going inside my building, but it was raining so hard I decided not to search for it.

And I keep seeing Clefairy, but I never seem to find it, even when I'm actively searching for it, like this weekend when we went to a Diglett nest in a park nearby.

ichiDad October 17th, 2016 12:45 PM

I've come to realize that the order of the monsters in the Sightings list has no relation to their distance. I was assuming the first monster was the closest one. But once a Snorlax showed up on the second line, and you would only notice it if you clicked on the Sightings. Fortunately I noticed this and found it quite close to me. It seems to me rare pokemon should always show up on the top line!

Godson710420 October 17th, 2016 6:31 PM

Maserati777 October 18th, 2016 3:38 AM

I think I've seen 5 Growlithe and 5 Snorlax on my nearby tracker in the last week. But since the is pretty much useless i haven't been to get any to spawn.

Linyit October 18th, 2016 4:38 AM

Snorlax, Dragonite and Dragonair did this several times.

Jonathan1990 October 21st, 2016 1:10 PM

Not so long ago I saw Dragonite appear as been nearby but never found it with been on the bus at that time.

Maserati777 October 25th, 2016 4:07 AM

Growlithe and Snorlax are up to 10 times each now. Its getting pathetic now. This tracking system is just trash. Pokemon should not appear on it if they are not near you.

Altairis October 25th, 2016 11:29 PM

I see Chansey on the radar sometimes around the dorms but I've never even seen one myself :(

Maserati777 November 4th, 2016 1:51 PM

Man am I tired of ghost Pokemon.

I'm not talking about ghost type Pokemon.
I had a Blastoise appear on my tracker at least 8 times, I walked from that spot in every direction and everytime it'd disappear from the tracker. In other words I wasted my time looking for a Pokemon that didn't exist.
