#4 Punggol Waterway Park
SPOTTED: Vaporeon, Wartortle, Dewgong, Ponyta, Growlithe

EXERCISE: Cycling/Inline Skating
After an adventure on feet (pro tip: camp at the spot near the Adventure Bridge for the optimum Poke-experience – it’s a PokéStop galore there!), why not explore the rest of Punggol Waterway Park on wheels? Hop on a bike or strap on a pair of inline skates, and explore the scenery while skidding along the promenade. Psst, we’ve also heard that cycling helps to hatch your eggs, but just be mindful not to go too fast or it doesn’t count!
#5 Hougang Block 401
SPOTTED: Gyarados, Dratini, Tentacruel
EAT: KPT Kopitiam

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d probably have already heard of the newest gathering spot for Hougang-ers. Specifically, a playground at Block 401 of Hougang Avenue 10 that attracts hordes of ambitious Pokémon trainers flocking here for a rare catch. But before this area’s known as a Pokémon Go hotspot, let’s not forget there’s a famous supper haunt nearby that serves some good ol’ fish soup, rojak and oyster omelette. Gotta fill your tummies before you hunt, right?
KPT Kopitiam is located at Blk 401, Hougang Ave 10, Singapore 530401
#6 Resorts World Sentosa
SPOTTED: Pikachu, Electrabuzz, Electrode, Magneton
ENJOY: Adventure Cove Waterpark
Resorts World Sentosa is another goldmine of rare Pokémon, especially if you’re on the search for electric types – check out this handy location guide prepared by RWS. Travelling all the way to Sentosa is quite a journey, so why not make it worthwhile? For the month of August, Pokemon trainers can visit Adventure Cove Waterpark at only $51 (usual price is $68). Having a splashing time while catching ’em all? Count me in!
The Adventure Cove Waterpark is located at 8 Sentosa Gateway, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore 098269
