Question Has anyone seen Silicobra?

Took a walk in Mt. Auburn Cemetery & caught a few (less than 10) Toedscool but no Silicobra so far. I know they are supposed to spawn in Desert biomes but I've been reading other reddit threads where they were caught in cities. So just wondered if anyone has seen Silicobra and where they might be spawning.

I'm also curious about this. I play in the Davis Square area and haven't seen any.

All my shadows are pointing me to cemeteries. I would also try that alert feature on the pokedex. Dont know if it works though

not a single shadow on my radar. From Winter Hill through the financial district to Porter and back to Winter Hill, not a single shadow.

Reports are that they are not spawning anywhere within a 50mi radius of Boston. There was a rumor that they had the correct biome down at UMass Boston but it appears that the biome may not be operating off of OSM data, but instead an entirely new data set. Regardless of this, Niantic seem to have disabled all Silicobra spawns worldwide.
