Sure, the temperature outside is hot as hell in SoCal – but, when you do get a chance to get out there and catch a few Pokémon, you have a better chance to catch one of the rare pocket monsters than the rest of the country, according to a new study.
Wanderu took a look at major cities across the U.S. and found that L.A. topped everyone else when it came to catching rare Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Orlando and Chicago players have only caught 3 of the 11 rare Pokémon.
