Wrong Pokémon at Location

If the Pokémon spawns you see do not match what other players are seeing, it is usually because your Pokémon GO account is below level 30.

For accounts under level 30, nearby Pokémon spawns can be partially randomized. This means the Pokémon shown at your location may be different from what level 30+ players see.

Once your account reaches level 30, spawn results should generally match other players who are also level 30 or higher. Individual Pokémon IVs and some other details may still vary, but the Pokémon spawn itself should be consistent.

For the most accurate results, we recommend leveling your Pokémon GO account to level 30 as soon as possible.
