Yep , I saw a Rhydon on the nearby , went to the pokestop , caught it , and then a SNORLAX pops up right as I ' m walking away from the stop . Blind luck , never saw it on nearby . I definitely would have missed it if I walked the other way . But I see what they are doing here . They want people to have only good experiences , they are removing that situation where you hunt a snorlax for 15 minutes and it despawns before you catch it , or you wander onto private property looking for it . They want to drive people to their sponsored pokestops . They want you to have that feeling of a random snorlax popping on your screen unannounced , just not very often so that it remains a special feeling even after playing for a year .
