Pokémon Go Introduces New Biomes, Challenges Players with Exclusive Spawns

The game's latest update adds beach, city, forest, and mountain biomes, each hosting unique Pokémon, but accessibility issues arise with biome-exclusive spawns like Wiglett.

• Pokémon Go's recent update introduces a new biome system, categorizing different areas like beaches and mountains, each with specific Pokémon spawns.
• Wiglett, a new addition, is exclusive to beach biomes, but players are finding these biomes in unexpected places like golf courses and volleyball courts.
• Despite the appearance of beach biomes in non-coastal areas, Wiglett only spawns in locations marked as natural beaches or coastlines, limiting its availability.
• Players have developed workarounds using OpenStreetMap to locate potential beach biomes inland, aiding those far from natural coastlines in finding Wiglett.
• The biome feature is part of the larger 'Rediscover Kanto' event, which aims to enhance the game's realism and player immersion through accurate environmental mapping.
