How large must a body of water be?
Nearby my work, there is a small (i assume man-made) pond/lake thing. I know it has been said by Niantic that water pokemon will spawn near water sources, but I'm wondering, how big do they need to be?
I never get any water Pokemon near this body of water, save for when it rains heavily, and the occasional Tentacool appears (although finding it is another story...)

Pond usually describes small bodies of water, generally smaller than one would require a boat to cross. Another definition is that a pond is a body of water where even its deepest areas are reached by sunlight or where a human can walk across the entire body of water without being submerged.What is the smallest type of body of water?
The smallest body of water is the brook, a natural stream of water that is found aboveground and is often called a creek as well. A brook is usually a tributary (a small body of water that naturally flows into a large one) of a river, but this is not always the case.The Water Bodies | The Dr. Binocs Show | Educational Videos For Kids
