UPPER EAST SIDE — Carl Schurz Park is perfect for catching some rays — it's also not a bad place to catch some Pokémon.

There are many spots on the Upper East Side to "catch 'em all" with the new mobile game Pokémon GO, and Carl Schurz Park and Fifth Avenue near Central Park seem to be the luckiest.

A Scyther and an Eevee have been seen near East 86th Street and Carl Schurz Park and a Pokémon gym occupies the park's Woodland Hills area.

Several sought-after pocket monsters have been found hanging out along Fifth Avenue and Central Park, including a Dragonair by the Central Park reservoir, several inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a Dratini and a Ponyta by the park's conservatory water.
