Often, our Group Day location recommendation is at all times comparable: choose a spot with ample spawn zones (ideally a park) and with sufficient PokéStops to profit from the CD-exclusive quests. 

Excellent examples of those areas are parks stuffed with PokéStops alongside a path, or city areas with lengthy streets which might be “strolling pleasant”. As a normal rule, you must search for “cluster spawn areas”, aka areas with a lot of community visitors the place Pokemon usually spawn in teams. These areas are typically good spots for CD occasions, and so they’re good in the event that they’re straightforward to lure up.

I've a route that I default to for group day, the place I do know the recent spots when it comes to spawns and that I'll entry sufficient stops alongside the best way. I additionally like to make use of Group Days to take native gyms that I don't cross on a day-to-day foundation.

Restart the app earlier than the occasion
