Statistics New Zealand has revealed budding Pokemon trainers have the best chance of catching them all in Dunedin.

The government department has collected population insights for the smartphone game Pokemon Go that's proven popular with locals over the past few weeks.

The figures show there are more than 400,000 of the digital creatures in New Zealand.

Dunedin has the most Pokemon per capita, with around 15 per 10,000people.

Pokemon statistical analyst Bridget Snodgrass says the reason behind the city's high numbers may be due to the varied terrain attracting a wide range of Pokemon types.
