So I finally managed to do the tarantula secret Island spawn trick yesterday. Went to 3 islands and filled up my pocket space with scorpions (I get scorpions in my region and not tarantula). In all previous attempts I have only been able to get like three scorpions total despite tons of trips to secret islands and I had actually given up on this trick existing in my region.

Well yesterday there were scorpions everywhere. In fact they were spawning everywhere before I had even finished clearing up the islands. However, what I noticed was that it was raining on all three islands. In fact after I had filled the first 3 rows of my pocket on the third island it stopped raining and from getting three rows filled in a few minutes, once it stopped raining not one single scorpion showed up again.

So it seems the trick only works for me (Southern Hemisphere, scorpions only and no tarantula) when it is raining. So if I visit a secret island and it is not raining I am not even going to waste my time clearing the island cos it is likely to be a wasted effort.
