Doesn't that only happen in certain dimensionality < 3 ? See also random walks in higher dimensions

You may be thinking of Polya's result, which lets the walker go anywhere on the grid, so there are more possible states than Poincaré allows. For a discrete system, Poincaré assumes (roughly) that the space of possibilities is finite.

Poincaré recurrence is not about random walks though.
