Today’s news from PokemonGo is the completion of the 6th Pokemon “nest migration.” As all players should know by now nests are spawns of the same Pokemon’s occurring at the same place. For the last few months Niantic have pushed nest migrations to mix up the Pokemon, provide more variety, and keep players guessing. With yesterday’s announcement of a forth coming update to add daily bonuses “very soon” it seems Niantic is keeping their foot on the gas to win back and keep players!
These “secret” nest migrations change the types of Pokemon that typically spawn at the nest. The same “nest” that spawned Magikarp, for example, now spawns different Pokemon. In our own testing we can confirm more Polliwags, Paras, Oddish, and Krabby’s than seen previously at our normal location, however no real “rares” of any merit to report. The folks over at PokemonGohub indicate the nest migration occurred November 2nd, 2016.
This reddit thread provides additional details and encourages reports that confirm the nest migration as well as the new Pokemon types that are appearing in the nests. It appears by the reports on that thread that this migration has added to “increased biodiversity” which simply means more variety to the nest spawns and often times increasing the chance to catch rare Pokemon.
