Based on the terrain you cover, you will find a specific kind of Pokémon for that terrain. You can pretty much find Pokémon anywhere but we really enjoy the solitude of the local Sarasota parks and preserves. Parks with large bodies of water as well as saltwater beaches are wonderful places to go for rare finds. Ready to go out and search for Pokemon? Check out these tips first…
Don’t play with your kids while driving. Stop, park, walk and then catch them all! Not only is it OBVIOUSLY unsafe but it will eat up your battery and data plan.
Be vigilant on foot. Especially with young children, please be aware of your surroundings
