Finding Pokémon that we don’t have can be a really big challenge, but luckily there are some algorithms that Pokémon GO uses to make some of these Pokémon easier to catch and Nocturnal Pokémon have a more frequent respawn at night. In this guide, we will show you which Pokémon are easier to catch at night.
Dark and Ghost Pokémon have a nighttime schedule
Actually, you can capture this type of Pokémon almost any time of the day because they appear, but they are much more frequent at certain times.
Ghost or Dark type Pokémon appear more frequently in the local time zone between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Within that time frame, you can find many more Pokémon of this type than during the day.
