The PokeNestBot provides a way to view, search, and locate Pokémon GO nests in your area.
A nest is an area (usually a park) where you will find an increased amount of a single type of Pokémon.
The specific Pokémon for a nest changes every two weeks and sometimes during Pokémon GO special events.
The following commands can be used with the PokeNestBot:
/allnests
/list
/nestlist
Using the /all command by itself will print all nests.
This includes both nests that are reported and unreported.
All Nests
/all

If there are too many nests, the /all command can return only the nests in a single category.
This will still include all nests (reported and unreported).
You do not need to specify the entire category name.
Also, uppercase and lowercase does not matter.

Use the /report command when you've identified which species of Pokémon is at a nest.
The parameters are:
Nest
The full or partial name of the nest.
Pokémon
The Pokémon found at the nest.
Both required parameters are case-insensitive. (Uppercase and lowercase does not matter.)
The nest report will be sent to your community admins for review.
Once the report is approved, your community nest list will be updated.
Report Nest
/report nancy boyd whismur
Your report has been submitted for review. Thank you for your contribution!
There are many Pokémon nicknames and common misspellings that the PokeNest bots understands.
For example, "nidoran boy", "nidoran male", "nidoran pink", and "nidoran purple" all work just as well as "Nidoran♂".
Pokémon Aliases
/report cambridge park nidoran blue
Your report has been submitted for review. Thank you for your contribution!

The /search command can find all nests with a Pokémon of a given type.
Uppercase and lowercase does not matter.

/unreported concord

60% of nests are reported.
/unreported largest
The
/unreported command has the ability to display the largest nests in your area.
The largest nests are usually the most useful for farming Pokémon. (Especially if they're good ones!)
Note that questionable reports will be included in the list (along with the questionable species), because they need help from the community to confirm reports.
The Biggest Nest
/unreported biggest
You can list more than one by providing an optional number parameter.
For example, use "3" to list the largest 3 unreported nests in your area.
The results will be sorted from largest to smallest.
The Biggest 3 Nests
/unreported biggest 3
/unreported nearest
The
/unreported command has the ability to display the closest nests near you.
This may be useful if you are unfamiliar with an area, and you have some free time to map some nests.
Note that questionable reports will be included in the list (along with the questionable species), because they need help from the community to confirm reports.
The Closest Nest
/unreported closest

Closest Unreported Nests
Pleasant Hill
DVC Commons
1.27 miles
If you have time to map more than one nest, you can also provide an optional number parameter which will list that number of nests.
For example, use "3" to list the shortest path to 3 unreported nests.
Note that these are not necessarily the closest 3 nests to you!
This is the approximate shortest path to 3 different unreported nests.
Also, the path is not guaranteed to be the absolute shortest path because of something called The Travelling Salesman Problem.
(Don't ask me about it. Just Google it. Basically it means that it takes too long to find the shortest path, but approximations are usually pretty good.)
The Closest 3 Nests
/unreported closest 3

In the above example, it is 1.27 from you to the DVC Commons nest.
Then, from the DVC Commons nest it is 0.46 miles to the Community Center nest.
It is not 0.46 miles from you to the Community Center nest.
Then, finally, it is 1.07 miles from the Community Center nest to the City Hall nest.
These distances are "as the crow flies" and not driving distances.
You can click on the "Directions to All" link to see the shortest driving path in Google Maps to all 3 nests.
