Pokemon-go – How long will a pokemon stay in one location

pokemon-go

4 days ago I caught a Dratini in an alley at midnight. Today I found another Dratini in the same spot at the same time. I'm wondering if this is just dumb luck or if it actually stays there. I'm going to the same spot ,tomorrow, to see if it will be there again.

Is there a guarantee if it will be there? How long will a Pokemon stay in the same location?

Best Answer

You cannot catch the same Pokémon twice. You can only catch another one of the same kind, which happened in your case.

If you catch a Pokémon it is gone for you, since you have it in your bags now. Going back to that place won't spawn the same Pokémon again, unless you're on a different account and within a few minutes. After 4 days it was definitely a different Dratini, especially if you already caught the other one.
