/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 or TSR's community map!


If you have any suggestions for FAQs to append to this thread or for meta questions, message the moderators or mention /u/PokemonGoMods!

Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaintsComplaint

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!

Is it still worth it to make a new account in 2024?Question

Haven’t played sknce around 2018 and can’t remember my password, I’ve been told the game has changed a lot since I quit. Will I be able to catch up or did I miss the train?

For everyone sad they missed out on Sendai GoFest, just remember you could do 40+ raids and still not get a shinyStory

I did 42 raids for Necrozma while at Sendai GoFest with a ticket active and my best catch was a 98% Necrozma (with the 14 in Attack of course). I also received one free Necrozma via the special research. Zero shinies from raids.

If you’re curious, 14/42 had special city backgrounds. My best background Necrozma was 15-15-11.

I caught 24 shinies across the two days I attended the event. I’m sure I could have gone more hardcore but I had other irl obligations and the weather was terrible over the weekend. Plus I spent the first 30 min of the event with the app failing to load properly at all.

Overall it was an interesting experience, but social media might set your expectations too high
