My Game of Pokemon GO: Stage VI.3 Lapras Map in San Diego

This blog shows statistics based on 94 recent Lapras Twitter reports collected from public feeds, not including private trackers.

80% of the spawns are in Coronado Island (blue), 16% in Oceanside (Carlsbad) (orange) and with only 4% in La Jolla (La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cover and Bird Rock) (red). Lapras does occasionally spawn in Marina based on what I have seen in private trackers, but detailed data is not available.  So Coronado is definitely the place to go.  On a lucky day, we could see up to six spawns on the island (top bar graph).

We always wonder whether Lapras is more likely to appear at night or during weekends, or in a raining day (rare in San Diego though).  There appears to be a dip on Saturday (bottom bar graph), however, that is only on the edge of statistical significance (p-value ~ 0.05).  Lapras seem to spawn a bit more frequent at night time, with 57% between 8pm-8am and 43% between 8am-8pm.  In general Lapras spawns pretty uniformly every day throughout a week, it might take a short lunch and midnight break (middle bar graph).  However, catching a Lapras is just like fishing, patience is your best token.
