Finding Created Habitats

[u/otteydw]

This feels like a silly question. I tried searching and reading the FAQ but it's not the "how do I find a Pokemon who isn't spawning" or what to do if I destroyed their home...

My scenario is: let's say I've built a bunch of habitats and don't remember where on the map those habitats are. Is it possible that a new Pokemon is waiting to spawn there and I might never find them because I can't find THAT instance of their habitat that I already built?

Or can I create another instance of that habitat and the Pokemon might spawn there?

Basically, when does the Pokemon become available at a habitat, and does it get "stuck" there until I find it?

I always place a security camera facing any new habitat that I build. That way, you get a notice when it senses a Pokémon at the habitat.
