Introduction of Mateo & Along the Routes Event - PoGO Nest - Crowdsourced Pokémon GO Research Hub for SoCal

Research Status: In Progress

Dec 4, 2023

Trainers, on Monday, December 4th, between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM, we observed a subtle change in nesting behavior coinciding with the introduction of Mateo in Routes and the launch of the Special Research Story: “A Route to New Friendships.”

Initial estimates suggest that about 20% of nests underwent migration. The data compiled below aims to deepen our understanding of nesting behaviors. It documents which species migrated, which species replaced them, and which Pokémon became available or are expected to become available as part of the Along the Routes event .

Also, referencing the Master Nesting Species List, we note the position change of the new nesting species, compared to the prior nesting species. While there is nothing conclusive at this time, with enough data, a pattern may emerge in the future.
