Live in Montana and enjoy "Pokémon GO?" Bad news: You're probably not getting your hands on a Snorlax anytime soon.

The same goes for Wigglytuff, Aerodactyl, Lapras, and Dratini. And that's because they're all especially rare Pokémon to find in the wild.

Unfortunately, that's especially true if you live somewhere like Montana.

It looks like the vast majority of Pokémon in the US - just like the vast majority of human beings - live on the coasts. That of course includes hard-to-find pocket monsters, like Kabuto and Electabuzz.

So, where are these rare Pokémon? Here's a map!

Google Maps / Wanderu

According to Wanderu - which gathered "photos and videos from 250 cities in the US" and "used the Twitter API to count the total number of sightings and look at the diversity of species found in each city" - the hardest to find Pokémon in the wild is Dratini (that scamp). Dratini's closely followed by Snorlax and Porygon.

Of course, you could always hatch one of these rare monsters from an incubated egg. Or you could run into any of them pretty much anywhere in the world - it's just much less-likely than, say, running into a Pidgey.

Or you could hop in a car with friends and take a Pokétrip. We vote Pokétrip.
