Best Pokemon Go nests in Ottawa

[Simon Sage]

Hey guys! I know this will only be relevant to a few of you, but I'm hoping to kick off a few community-sourced city guides for Pokémon Go spawning nests. I'm going to be putting one together for my hometown, Ottawa, Ontario, but if you'd like to do one for your city, lemmie know, and we can make sure your thread gets the right visibility and support from the Mobile Nations community managers. If we get enough of them, maybe we can do a roundup on the blog!

Doing this is tricky, since a lot of people have relied on the Pokémon API, and with spawning locations changing, it's hard to figure out how much of that data is old or new, but I'm gonna do my best here. What I'm pulling from here is recent, anecdotally-confirmed spots on Reddit and Facebook. I'm personally verifying the stops I can, and will update this if I notice something becomes inaccurate. I'm also popping in links to maps so you can find these places. Hopefully this can be a handy resource for locals and visitors alike.

Specific to Ottawa, this map has been a pretty interesting resource that I would like to explore further. It's based on scraped data though, so take that as you will.

If you guys have thoughts on formatting guides like this, or have any extra local data to contribute (confirmation or new finds), shout out!

Will be updating again to break this down by neighborhood, and color-code Pokémon based on rarity, and link to their detailed info to somewhere for reference.
