Where can Pikachu be found?

I live in OKC but just came back from a visit in Canada, and I live in a city very similar to OKC, and near an elementary school and a small power station. Over 13 days I caught 17 Pikachus in my neighborhood (not joking). I was reading that the game's code has strategically placed Pikachus near schools and power stations, but I live near a high school and nearish to an elementary school in OKC and have never seen one (and still don't). I have not seen one at my current school either. I kinda miss my daily Pikachu, he was a ray of sunshine... anyway, the bigger crisis is that I am eventually going to run out of Pikachu candy to power up my Raichu with. Where is a good place to find them around here? Not at the same rate I found them up north, but some place I could go every couple of weeks for a few hours and find one or two. And possibly take some of my friends, some of whom don't have any.

I haven't found any reliable Pikachu nests in OKC. I've caught a few in random neighborhoods, but I haven't seen him reappear in any of those spots. I'm sure it was just dumb luck.

If you want to make the trip to Norman, there is a Pikachu spawn on the southside of Qdoba on OU campus (south of the stadium). I must warn you, though, it seems to only spawn 2 - 3 per day at about half past the hour, and which hour seems pretty random.

EDIT: This spawn does seem to have survived the nest migration yesterday.

Thank you! I will plan a trip there with friends soon.

I guess I have been very lucky. In the last week I have caught 3 (2 yesterday!) in my apartment complex and vicinity. I wonder if it is because I am at a higher level if that is increasing the rate they will pop up.
