Pokémon GO – Rare Locations: How to get Dragonite, Dragonair, Porygon, Snorlax and Gyarados

Pokémon GO has a number of rare Pokémon, but a few of them are far more in-demand by players who are either looking to finish off their Pokedexes, or are looking for a rare and powerful Pokémon to take over a gym with. Dragonair, Dragonite, Gyarados, Snorlax and Porygon are, to some degree, the closest we'll get to legendary Pokémon until the special events start rolling in.

Everyone's going crazy over Pokemon Go and here I am just waiting for No Man's Sky

[shadow_satey]

I'm doing both.

[ritchi45]

Same :)

[zombiewombie]

I'm witcha buddy

[spoonard]

Me too, but in the mean time i'm playing Pokemon Go. It passes the time pretty well.

[Deadpooled]

Smart guy

[-Foxtrot]

You mean you are waiting for an actual full on game then

[thrust]

Mean don't hate participate

[Retroman]

Is it true some people going in park at night being rape following the map and people falling off cliffs not paying attention??

hope that is NOT! true.

[Artemidorus]

Exactly the same

Still don't buy the go by water crap. I found a Dratini in a parking lot.

[Rimeskeem]

I found a staryu in the driest part of my town

[Deadpooled]

I found a shellder inside my house tens of miles away from any sort of meaningful water

[Clown_Syndr0me]

I find water Pokemon in random places too, but when I went to the ferry dock, I was ambushed by 3 or 4 Psyducks and are Staryu and then about 3 minutes later Polywag and Magikarp popped up. I guess they're just more common by water, but appear in other places as I guess some people are hundreds of miles from it.

[scark92]

I caught a Magicarp, Psyduck and a Horsea from where I sit haha

[spoonard]

What level do you have to be to evolve a Magikarp into a Gyrados using stardust? I'm lv 12 and it says I need to be higher level to do it.

[Greg2801]

You need 400 magikarp candy to evolve 1 in a gyrados. You cant evolve pokemon with stardust. You use stardust for making your pokemon stronger.

[Deadpooled]

400! Duck this, I'd rather go onto Pokemon Blue and endure the grind of getting a magikarp to level 20

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Shame the game is broken now. Cannot track anything as everything is always three steps away. Same for everyone I know.

[Hroach616]

Yeah my games been like that since I started a few days ago. Was wondering what was up

[Zotiiik]

Yea man I lost a God dam Lapras, wartortle, bulbosaur and a bunch of other good shit.

[Hroach616]

So far I have noticed there are tons of Pokemon in my town but when I drive outside of town to where I work there is barely anything at all. It's in the farmlands right by open fields, a large river, and not too far away some think woods that go into the mountains. You would think those areas would be brimming with Pokemon. But there's hardly an oddish or pidgy.
I'm only level 7 so maybe that's it. But I would have thought there would be more. So far I've only seen 22ish types in my town and don't seem to find anything new unless I drive 45 minutes into the city.
Any thoughts? Really anything I'm just curious what other people think

[Soldierone]

It's the opposite for me. There is a single Pokestop in my neighborhood a mile away. I have shopping centers nearby that don't provide anything. I walked around every block in my neighborhood and Pokemon only pop up in a three locations within walking distance. I have to drive to places to get anything, thus I've run out of pokeballs and have 100 Rattata candies.....

[scark92]

I agree, they should really populate all areas, especially the out of town areas.

[Deadpooled]

I noticed it quite badly today, on the 'nearby' tracker it had gastly, staryu, goldeens, pidgeys, even a silhouette of a hypno. I used incense to try and attract them to me but only a few rattatas and pidgey was all I had through the whole 30 minutes, and this as I was in an area with my friend with gyms and pokestops in close proximity. I fortunately caught a 100cp gastly (I am level 6, close to 7) I guess the servers are getting slammed during weekends.

[killer876]

Sorry but I've seen videos of a bunch of adults looking like complete jackasses chasing Pokemon

So stupid

[melonfarm3r]

I had 4 hits on a Snorlax then mid battle the app froze up. This was 5 mins after freezing up during a gym battle I was doing really well in. The server issues are making this game unplayable. It's a real shame.

[WeAreLegion]

I live at the edge of a very large lake and have yet to see a Dratini.

[Christopher]

3 lakes near us. Absolutely no water type pokemon at all. Just pidgeys and rattatas. Go to a man-made lake surrounded by shops and restaurants? Magikarp and psyduck land.

I don't think they did that great of a job, overall, in putting the right pokemon next to the right terrains. It seems like they rushed most of it and focused more on making sure populated areas had a lot of stuff to get more people into the game rather than focus on accuracy.

[rataranian]

Bs. This game has absolutely no method of anything. Its completely random. The gps doent work well. The lures just attract common junk. And the track system doesnt work. Its fun to just be out there with everything farming. But they neednto fix so much.

[Hroach616]

You put a harsh spin on it but I would have to agree with everything you said for the most part.
Still having fun (for now) with it but def looking forward to some changes in future updates.

[rataranian]

As am I. Id like to see this game get better and better.

[Sethismename]

I found a Dragonair and all types of water Pokemon in Cali
