And so we decided to test our skills in a more challenging environment: the Sahara Desert. Now that we knew it was, in fact, possible to catch Pocket Monsters nearby, we decided to use some incense, rather than go wandering around the desert in the midday heat. However, before our incense’s effect ran out, we managed to catch five other Pokémon species: a Growlithe, a Sandshrew, an Ekans, a Cubone, and a Machop. ▼ Like Ponyta, we’re guessing Charmander has no problem coping with the heat of the Sahara, given that he’s perpetually on fire. So it turns out that, in terms of variety, the Sahara Desert actually isn’t such a bad Pokémon GO venue.
