Past Q&A Megathreads

Known bugs (some have possibly been fixed):

See here for Niantic-recognized bugs.

  • New: Shadow-Bans If you have ever used a third-party service (such as an IV checker) that required you to log into your Pokemon Go account, and/or you have ever received a warning message about unauthorized access, you may have recently been "shadow-banned". You can still play the game like normally, but only common Pokemon will show up and you will not see "rare" spawns while others will. You will need to remove any such services, revoke their authorizations, change your password, etc. Roughly a week after doing so, people have reported the shadow-bans being lifted for legitimate players.

  • New in 0.59.1 The Pokédex displays genders for Pokémon you have caught, if applicable. However, code for genders was only added sometime in December/January. Any Pokémon caught/evolved prior to that will have a (randomly assigned?) gender in the Inventory, but will not properly display the gender in the Pokédex.

  • Sometimes while the game is loading it will get stuck on a white screen. This seems to be due to an anti-bot "Captcha" screen that didn't load correctly, and can usually be fixed by restarting the app.

  • There is a bug with the GPS not connecting properly, which results in nearby Pokémon spawns disappearing for a few minutes.

  • The game will randomly crash sometimes. Having the most updated version of the app and the most updated version of your operating system tends to minimize this, but it still happens.

  • There are graphical glitches sometimes where a Pokémon will spawn as a "miniature" version of itself. If you restart the app and are still close enough, it should reappear normally and be clickable.

  • There is a bug sometimes while battling a gym if you don't have a great connection. If you dodge an attack that would otherwise kill you, sometimes the game won't register the dodge and your Pokémon will "faint". Then the game will sync with the server and undo the damage that you dodged, but your Pokémon still shows as fainted and you can't actually attack.

  • If phone time is not set to Automatic, Incense and Lures may not work properly. Fix this by setting time to Automatic (in your phone's Time/Date settings)

/r/PokemonGO FAQ: /r/PokemonGo/wiki/FAQ

There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

Where can I find other players in my area?

Try our regional subreddits list! Also, see the related subreddits for more niche needs!

Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 11:09 AM PDT

Have you been the one missing the Mewtwo EX raidpass? Maybe you haven't been lucky the whole week and that damn raid Tyrannitar ran and everyone else caught him.

Or the worst part, maybe it's monday again?!

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Here we rant about everything that goes wrong, someone who sniped a gymspot ( ￣Д￣）, a missed Tyrannitar again (ಠ_ಠ) or that stupid bug which made you miss your raid because of the server desync, ending the raid prematurely (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

No personal insults, no trolls and provocation but all salty stuff is accepted.

  • Only salty posts allowed ( ಠ_ಠ )

  • No uncivilty or personal information allowed. ☜(`o´)

  • Complaints can be posted here as well, agree that stuff needs to change here as well, like the spawn rate or gym bugs.

    (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Don't forget to hydrate after all the salt!

Suggestion: Let players check in to a raid so you can see how many people are going

Me in-game vs me IRL

Dad made me this for hitting level 40! Thought I'd share it here.

When I hear someone say "people who play pokemon go have no life"...

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 06:15 AM PDT

...I smile. I smile because they are wrong in so many ways. Pokemon GO gave me my life back. It helped, and still helps me with my depression and isolation.

I get to go outside (and have fun by doing so), which is needed if you want to fight depression (not only because sunlight helps producing vitamin d).

I meet people which helps with the isolation part. I walk very long distances and burn calories by doing so while people making fun of me are probably paying to work their arses off at the gym.

It happened to me yesterday that I heard someone make fun of me, which inspired me to post here. I just wanted to share my thoughts with someone who understands what I'm talking about, I hope it's ok for me to do so here.

(Complaint) I’m really sick of all the Pokémon disappearing

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 04:40 PM PDT

As stated above. I'm really sick of dealing with all the Pokémon disappearing and not coming back for a little bit. Sometimes there's something I need there and poof it's gone as well as everything else. When you're on the move this is super annoying.

Awesome place in my town for Pokémon. To bad it’s not a gym or poke stop.

[Discussion] Ugh!!

I caught 496 wailmers this week. I know shinies are supposed to be rare, and I'm not complaining so much as being bummed about missing out on him. He's really my favorite pokemon, and I tried so hard to find him.

It took four months from conception to realisation. Worth it.

Today I was kicked out of a gym by people with several accounts

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 03:36 AM PDT

I was casually playing, when I saw a gym with only 2 mons. I put one of mine in, gave it a berry, and went on my way.

There was another gym close-by with 5, and I put mine in, and went on my way.

Then, I got my first one back, and I thought about going back to the first gym to battle and put mine again. So I went, but saw that it was still team Valor, with the 2 first mon that I saw before, plus 3 additional ones.

I was very confused. And around that time, I got my other pokemon back too, clicked on the gym, saw that someone was battling it. I went back to that gym and saw two guys standing with several devices.

I checked the names of the mons in the first and second gym, and what do you know... The same 4 usernames.

So apparently, they just kick out the 4 last mons (with another team apparently), put 4 of them in, and continue their journey.

That really sucks because there is just nothing you can do. You can't battle your own team, so you just lost some revives and potions...

Has anyone ever had the same experience before?
