Roaming Pokémon is a spawn mechanic | '''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, although depending on the player's time zone offset, this may be XX:30 or XX:45 local time). The mechanic was introduced to [[Pokémon Vortex]] in Version 5, with additional Roaming Pokémon added in Version 6. | ||
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 (and announces it, typically via [[Discord]]), 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. | |||
