Day/Night Cycle Affects Pokemon Appearances
The difference between day and night plays a major part in many games, particularly RPGs. The cycle was also implemented in the core Pokemon series a while back, so several Pokemon GO players speculated that it would have an effect on the app as well. After all, if it was going to use the real world’s geography, why not its time as well?
This rumor actually turned out to be true. As day turns to night, the Pokemon you can catch differ. Clefairy and Ghost-types such as Haunter appear more often at night and in more locations. A few other rare Pokemon follow the same pattern, making it worthwhile to go on an adventure at night at least once a week. You never know what you may come across when the sun goes down. Just remember to be careful out there.
