Will the same type of Pokemon always appear in the same spawn location?
There is a new app for iOS/browsers (soon for Android) called www.pokemonradargo.com. Users can add locations for specific Pokemon they saw or caught. But I doubt the usefulness of such an app. Will a specific Pokemon actually repeat their spawn location in Pokemon Go?
This post about spawns does not answer this: How do I find Pokémon?
This one: How long until a pokemon respawns in the same spot?, is about different Pokemon spawning in the same spot, not the same Pokemon each time.
Best Answer
I dont know how much help this is but its the best i have so far: Over a 24 hour period a dragonite spawned in the same area of a park 3 times, twice within 15 minutes. I dont know if it was a fluke and i will never see one there again or if it will be back, but if one showed up 3 times within an area of about 500 meters i would have to guess that they spawn in the same kind of area each time. If it shows up there again i will do my best to remember to update this post.
A friend also reported that a ryhorn spawns in a park near them frequently. Again, i dont know yet, i was looking for an answer to the same queation (didnt catch any of the 3 dragonites and wanted to know if/when i would have another chance) but looking at the information i have it seems like the spawns are the same and it just randomises what time they show up.

How often does a Pokémon spawn in the same spot?
If the hour is split into 15 minute periods denoted by letters ABCD, then some pok\xe9mon will appear as AC, for example, meaning they will appear for 15 minutes, disappear if you don't catch them, then 15 minutes later reappear.Do different Pokémon spawn in different areas?
It is unknown for certain exactly the way that Pok\xe9mon are chosen to spawn, but it is very likely that Pok\xe9mon spawn in specific zone (some call these a Pokemon's "biomes"). For instance, water Pok\xe9mon have been found to spawn more often by lakes and oceans.Why do the same Pokémon keep appearing?
Some Pok\xe9mon can only be found in a particular part of the world, such as Tropius, which can only be found in Africa and some neighboring regions. Consider trading with other Trainers from different parts of the world to collect Pok\xe9mon exclusive to their regions.Top 5 spawn locations for catching rare pokemon in pokemon go | Best spoofing location in Pokémon Go

Answer 2
Based on information I've read from the Silph Road (cannot find source, will edit if I do), there are nests where a specific type of Pokemon will spawn. O have found multiple of these nests nearby, one with 3-6 Charmane at any time, and another with 2-4 Jynx at a time.
I located these via Pokevision with great success. These spots have consistently spawned their respective Pokemon over several days of monitoring.
Answer 3
I caught 2 pikachus at my place of employment on different nights. I don't see them very often. I have seen 3 and 2 of them were at night at my place of employment. I don't know if this is an indicator that they will continue to spawn here or if it was just a freak thing. But, I am also curious to know if the Pokemon spawn in the same locations time after time.
Answer 4
There's a park near my doctors office.
Every week I have an appointment at 2pm on Wednesdays.
Since the game went live I always see a snorlax there on my way home.
Also, the gym that is there has a snorlax at it.
For this reason I believe that it is very likely that pokemon will spawn at the same place in some sort of pattern.
Answer 5
Which Pokemon spawn is based on characteristics of the location (terrain, climate, etc.), so if the characteristics are right for it to spawn once, chances are it will eventually spawn again. Knowing that more than one has spawned would definitely be a stronger indicator, but even with just one, at least you know it's happened once. Consider the app as a suggestion on places to look for Pokemon you've never seen rather than an absolute guarantee that you'll find one at that location.
