If you notice that you’re only getting the same handful of Pokemon encounters each day in a certain area, you might want to try coming back at a different time of day. This gives you a chance of encountering different Pokemon that might only show up in the area during the nighttime. Visiting familiar areas during the early hours of the morning might also allow you to find different Pokemon too.

A lot of Pokemon GO users have reported seeing Pikachu show up randomly in areas they’ve already been to, so it’s highly likely that its appearance is tied to the time of day when you’re in that area. Be sure to check back regularly to see if a Pikachu might show up at night!
