Pokemon Go - Best Areas

I am going to try and catch 35 candies worth of Drowzee in the time it takes the bus to drive from Heuston to the port tunnel after which I'll probably never see one again. Is it feasible?
Maybe I could hatch one.

Yeh Drowses are like pidgy and Ratata in Dublin City Centre one every 100 yards like . I've manged to evelove 7 Hypno with the amount of them i've caught.

I also had all three eveloves of evee by the time is was level 15 or 16 , though most came via eggs.

Still have never seen a Pikachu or Ponyta in the wild hatched both

Just as I was about to reply to this a friend of mine came across this on his way to work - first one I've seen

It's possible, but you'll probably get water pokemon along there. I did that route a while back, absolutely loads of stuff, mostly staru and the blue thing with the swirly stomach. Personally, I'd forget about catching pokemon unless you see something unusual and stock up on pokeballs. Loads of stops there.
Was waiting on Westmorland street today and there was a lure. Nice one I thought cos I'm rarely in the city centre. 4 poxy drowzees.

I eventually hatched enough pikachu's to get my raichu, which turned out to be an utter bag of sh-t. I AM DISAPPOINT

Merrion Sqaure, grand canal and bull island seem to be popular dublin spots. Anywhere for a good chance at a Mr Mime (might be in dublin at the weekend).

Never even see the shadow of one but heard bull island is almost gaurenteed , im heading out there Saturday to see what all the fuss is about

The only places I've seen Mr. Mime spawn is in Ranelagh Gardens (right beside the Ranelagh luas stop). It was definitely a nest for them but this may have changed. Also around hospitals seems to be a common place and have seen it spawn a few times around the Rotunda at the top of O'Connell Street.

Bull Island is great - been out there 3 or 4 times over the last few weeks. I've highlighted the main spots in the attached screenshot (in classic MS Paint style!). Make sure you stock up on pokeballs before heading out though, there aren't that many pokestops, particularly at the spawn in the middle of the island.

DaDerv

Any places of interest in Galway? Any nests? Noticed a lot of Drowzees around the coach station, caught 6 with an incense and a few Jynx around there too.

Scanned Bull Island last night after seeing your post, to see if it was worth a trip.
Seen Cubone, Omanyte, Kabuto, Golduck, Squirtle, Wartortle, Dratini, Dodou, Pikachu, Eggecute, Rhyhorn plus all the usual water types. Didn't see any Mr Mime but still looks like a great spot.

Probably means they walked around the island?

DunLaoghaire pier is pretty good. Halfway out the east pier there are 3 stops together that often all have lures going.

Yes I caught a Gengar from one of those lures and a Ponyta another time. I also got a Machoke at the start of the pier near the yacht club, Squirtle also seems to hang around there.

Seafront and peoples park are great too. Even lures going in the rain in peoples park! And you can see a route through the town where you'd hit about 25 stops. Definitely a great pokemon area if you want somewhere nice to walk around at the weekend.

where's the best place to catch bulbasaurs in cork? i've tried virtually ever park in the city and not one shows up....... same goes for abras

Barraldo

I can't find Bulbasaurs ANYWHERE!! I got two Abras in Dingle a couple of weeks ago.

Does anyone have a tip for Pikachu locations in Dublin?

Poliwags, Whirls and Wraths are constantly up around Heuston Station.

Sutton is a great spot for Voltorbs and Magenites

I've heard they spawn in the park across from Ranelagh luas stop, haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

Thanks to whomever posted about Merrion Sq., Dublin and Magmar. Spent approx 40 mins there today and found 3. I was terribly happy when I saw the first one on my screen......but shocked when I saw its CP was only 89!!
Luckily the third was over 10 times that, well worth the detour in. Also captured a Porygon that spawned at a lure there at the same time....result!!

Haha yep MS is a pure Magmar spawn! MS is always on the return leg of my lunchtime walk and I always get a Magmar there. Always. I picked one up today. 1180 Magmar!! Massive yoke!! Found a Kibuto in MS, too. Near Oscar Wilde.

Walter H Price

went out to bull island saturday , would like to spend a bit more tiime there tbh but in the hour and 20 i was out there i caught 19 mons incl some hadnt even seen a shadow of 1 previously including Grimer got enough vulpix to evolve one to a 9 tails , also manged to catch a few Meowth and Nodoran enough to ecolve to a persian and a Nidoking and had 7 pokemon spawn at once , great spot saw the shadow of a Garydose and a Charizard but never found em

I hit bull island yesterday too, done the south half and caught a good few, mostly water types, which is what you'd expect I guess. It's good for building up candies for the likes of poliwag, magicarp etc. I was surprised to see a gyarados spawn in front of me, fairly low cp but still a nice one to add to the pokedex. Same with hitmonlee.
The biggest dissapointment of the day though was seeing a magmar spawn and the app froze 😭😭 Gonna head out again on my next day off and hit the north half as there seemed to be better ones there.

Thanks to everyone for the tips, gonna try hit a few more spots before the novelty wears off!

Remember Merrion Square is a hotspot for Magmar. Pun intended.

Yeah the North of the Island looked really promising and the area around st annes park , never been in that park before despite living in Dublin for 25 years will definitely be going back soon

Problem with Bull Island is that it's the golf course that looks good. Is walking along the beach heading north worth it?

the beach was so so for me the best areas are the causway road up to the roundabout , very few stops but allot of spawns so park at the top there up by the beach then walk bak down the causway out along the bottom on the St annes side where there was heaps of pokemon caught about 15 in 5or 6 minutes and was getting 3 or 4 apawning at a time then back to to the car , drive back down the causway again and along the bottom to the noth island bridge some rare types round there got two Omynite and a Mr.Mime there then up to the North part which was ok but didn't get enough time there because, Leicester Hull was kickin off so we had to bail

Cienciano

If anyone needs an Onix, killiney hill park is full of them

gmonov1

Mr. Mime spawned in stoneybatter twice in the last couple hours, near the scout den. Missed him first time but managed to track him down the 2nd time

Why do you have a soft ban?

Oh outside McGrattans near Baggot Street this morning, a friendly Omanyte popped up. Caught it, bringing my total of seen and caught to 87/87!

unknownfire45

If you go to the yellow brick road in Dun Laoighre it's a shellder and physduck nest

There have been reports that if you try playing while travelling too fast e.g. in a car or on a bus, you'll get a soft ban.
I would guess that's what happened to him.

I play on a bus all the time (dublinbus heading into town to work) all I get is the "You are travelling too fast" warning.

Yeh that's exactly it , it shouldn't happen to you on a bus perticularly in dublin with traffic wtc , but on the train this morning anything i caught escaped on the first throw , very little showed which is what i was hoping for as i was planning to use the incense hack were you play it in an isolated place with nothing in your sightings in order to spawn rarer pokemon ( figured the midlands would be ideal )

But literaly anything that showed i lost immediately , this happens too if you play while in a car on a motorway or that asweel and the latest updats have removed spawns from motorway areas as well.

Does the incense hack work? And if so the more remote the better or what??

dbagman

Working today in the wicklow mountains near enniskerry. Decided to give the incense hack mentioned above a whack as little to nothing up around here. 2 pidgeys,a weedle,an odd ish, a venoaut and a zubat later it's safe to say it's BS.

If it's that remote you won't get a 4G signal and won't be able to log in

But they were able to log on, the idea is to use incense in a remote area with few spawns normally.
Theory is that using incense in a busy area (ie, urban) just increases the number of the local pokemon.
Using incense in a non-busy area means the server populates it with random pokemon....so chances of seeing a rare pokemon are increased.

Toots

Caught a Mr Mime in my living room just now. I live near Lamb Doyles pub (which is also a stop) if that's any help to anyone.

FaceCake

Ah here, did they scramble the spawns again? I see more evolved forms randomly, but some of the consistent areas I noticed seem to have been taken out. Merrion sq and Stephens green used to be good for a magmar and a cubone or three almost every visit. Now it just seems like random common stuff. Few spots nearer to me don't seem as fruitful anymore either. Maybe I'm just on an unlucky streak? A Vaporeon despawned as I tapped on it in temple bar. Gutted.

I did see something on twitter earlier about possible reshuffle, and asking people to send in data.

They did, spawn near me was originally Magmar, then Electrabuzz and now Pinsir.
Another was Hitmonchan, then Voltorb, now Eggexecute.
Park nearby was Mankey and is now Growlithe.
Park in next town was Tentacool, then Abra, now Machop.

Seen as many as 6 Growlithe at once, the others are just a few times a day.

I think so, any time I scanned Merrion Square I saw a magmar, and any time I scanned Killiney hill park I saw an onix. scanned both over the last few days and both those pokemon are gone. Doduo were always in Deerpark and just did a scan there now and nothing.

Barraldo

Was walking through Merrion Square today and I saw the shadow of a Lapras. I tracked it for a bit and then it disappeared from the sightings. I haven't noticed the usual amount of Magmars there, either. There's enough Drowzees, though. Also near the James Joyce bust in Stephen's Green, I've noticed a lot of Horsea spawning.
