-Roaming Pokémon is a spawn mechanic introduced to [[Pokémon Vortex]] in v5 that sees certain Pokémon move from one location to another on an hourly basis (XX:00 UTC)
+'''Roaming Pokémon''' is a spawn mechanic where certain Pokémon move from one [[Locations|location]] to another at the start of every hour (XX:00 UTC). The mechanic was introduced to [[Pokémon Vortex]] in Version 5, with additional Roaming Pokémon added in Version 6.
-There is no way of knowing the location of a Roaming Pokémon until it has been found. Once found, it will remain in that location for the remainder of that hour (UTC time) allowing it to theoretically be hunted/farmed for a short period of time.
+The locations of Roaming Pokémon are random, although subject to certain restrictions listed below. A given Pokémon's location is not known until the first player finds it, after which others have the rest of the hour to search for it in the same location. For example, if a player finds a [[Gouging Fire]] at 3:15 UTC, other players will have 45 minutes to hunt for it before it respawns.
+==Roamer Sightings==
+Update v6.1.20 introduced '''"Roaming Pokémon Sightings"''' on the dashboard, this section displays the roamers found by the players (players must click 'battle' in order for the roamer to be displayed), this sections lists the '''player''' who found the roamer, the '''Pokémon''' that was spotted and the exact '''location''' of the roamer for the hour. The section will update itself after the hour has ended and players can again spot roamers which will be displayed.
+==Spawning restrictions==
 Some general rules to Roaming Pokémon are:
 * They will never spawn in water
-* They will never spawn in caves or indoor locations such as the [[Upper Steelmouth Plant|Power Plant]]
+* They will never spawn in caves or indoor locations, such as the [[Upper Steelmouth Plant]]
-* More than one Roaming Pokémon can be in the same location at the same time
+* They will never spawn in towns or cities, with the exception of [[New Haven]]
-* They will never spawn in towns/cities with the exception of [[New Haven]]
+* More than one Roaming Pokémon can be in the same location during the hour
-* New spawn location can be the same as the previous location
+* The new spawn location can be the same as the previous location
-* They will always spawn during both day and night
+* They will spawn during both day and night, through the entire hour
