Lapras in Chicago or Boston?

[ichiDad]

I'm currently visiting Chicago downtown, and I would really love to find a wild Lapras. I've been wandering around by the waterfront and river, and I've caught scads of Magicarp and Psyducks, but no Lapras. Any ideas where they might be found? I did find one Dratini last night ...

Next week I'm in Boston hunting Lapras as well. I've never seen a wild Lapras in Denver where I live.

Early on, one of my friends in Boston caught a bunch of Lapras. If I remember correctly, he caught more Lapras by the time he reached level 16 than I have my entire time playing so far.

Not sure about now since he stopped. I wouldn't doubt spawn rates have changed since it has for many other typically rare Pokémon.

If there are no lapras nests anywhere on the planet or in the known universe, that implies that chicago and boston are not where you can expect one.

There is only one way:
Use a tracker to constantly scan the nearby area, and get lucky. With no tracker you might as well buy a lottery ticket.

I heared san francisco might be an idea, because there niantic did something really revolutionary: They included some kind of tracker into the app itself.

I'm back from Chicago, and while I didn't get a Lapras, I captured tons of Magicarp, Slowpokes, Psyduck and Staryu, and a few Dratini. These water pokemon are much less common in Colorado.

If you visit Chicago, I discovered a Growlithe nest at the east end of the riverwalk, after the Lake Shore Drive underpass.
