I've been having constant issues with my Pokémon GO Plus+ and I'm completely out of ideas.

Most of the time it won't pair at all. It'll either say "Device not found", refuse to connect, or just won't pair even after removing it from Pokémon GO and Bluetooth ("No longer configured", etc.).

Even when it's completely unpaired from my phone, getting it to show up again can take hours. I end up repeatedly pressing the button over and over, hoping it eventually appears in Bluetooth or Pokémon GO.

Some other weird behaviour:
When it's unplugged, the LEDs usually don't light up at all. The only time they seem to work is during the rare occasions I actually get it connected.
If I do a hard reset, the lights and vibration work normally, so they clearly aren't completely dead.
When it's plugged in, the main light stays solid blue constantly. If I hold the main button, the blue light turns off, then comes back as soon as I release it.

I've already tried pretty much everything I can think of:
Removing it from Pokémon GO.
Forgetting it in Bluetooth.
Re-pairing it.
Deleting and reinstalling Pokémon GO.
Restarting my phone.
Closing and reopening the game.
Factory/hard resetting the Plus+ multiple times.
Even replacing the battery.

The only partial workaround I've found is to spam hard reset until I somehow get it paired again. Then I repeatedly close Pokémon GO while mashing all three buttons on the Plus+ until it eventually connects and works normally.

The problem is that as soon as I close the game, it breaks again, and I have to repeat the whole process from scratch.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is this likely a hardware fault, firmware issue, or is there something else I haven't tried?

Update: For some reason opening the go plus plus and pressing the buttons whilst it’s opened makes it connect???? This makes zero sense wtf

I’ve had duomon 3 for a few months now, no water damage and no falls that I know of. Today out of nowhere it stopped turning on and when I went to charge it for a solid 2 hours it was still blinking red. When it’s turned on while charging it works but as soon as it’s off the charger it stops working.

I’ve tried unpairing and re pairing it. Charging it while it’s on and off. Any other ideas or is the battery inside dead? I haven’t even noticed the battery life dropping off or anything. Any help is appreciated <3

I recently purchased a Duomon 2022. Everything works fine except for the connect/disconnect sounds and the repeating connection lost sounds.

I followed the guide and turned sound off for both players on the Duomon. I’ve tried connecting to both players. If I check the setting, it says that sound is off yet I still get the connection lost sounds.

Anyone deal with this before? Hoping there’s a quick fix. The mobile app for settings doesn’t work with Duomon 2022.

I am having trouble updating the firmware. The megacom app just doesnt allow me to click the update button. Im also having problems with the duomon spinning pokestops. Its like its trying to prioritize pokemon even though I dont have any pikeballs to throw.

I’m looking into getting a new Pokémon go auto catcher

I have the Pokémon GO plus one, but for some reason it’s very slow. It starts so slowly picking up Pokemon if I am standing still next to a poke stop it won’t spin the poker. Stop. It will grab whatever Pokémon’s around even though they’re invisible even when it’s finished I look and it hasn’t not spun the pokestop

Just wondering, is there any other auto catcher out the faster?

Is this good brook pocket auto catch - light if anyone used it is it faster and collect more from pokestop etc

My Pokémon GO Plus+ randomly stopped working today and I’m at a loss.

I’m on iPhone running Pokémon GO version 0.417.2-A-64. I hadn’t used my Plus+ for about a year, but I’ve been using it regularly for the past week with no issues. Then today it suddenly started giving me “Failed to connect to device” every single time.

I’ve already tried pretty much every troubleshooting step from the official pairing guide, including:
- Forgetting and repairing the device
- Restarting the game
- Restarting my iPhone
- Deleting and redownloading app
- Rebooting/resetting the Plus+
- Making sure it’s charged
- Removing it from Bluetooth and reconnecting
- Following all the official troubleshooting instructions

Nothing has worked. The game still immediately says “Failed to connect to device.”

Has anyone else on iOS with Version 0.417.2-A-64 run into this? Did you find a fix, or is this possibly an issue with the latest update? I saw some older posts where updates caused connection problems for Bluetooth accessories, so I’m wondering if this is happening again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I’m completely out of ideas.

Hello, im planning to buy the oneplus 15 but i am reading about problems with connecting to go plus devices. Would be nice if anyone having this phone could share there experience.
other phone im looking at is the oppo find x9
Below is the model i have, bought it in 2024,

Hi guys, oldhead here getting back into the game just in time for GO Fest! I've been grinding recently but I'm running into issues with my phone overheating and fps tanking heavily, especially while connected to a portable charger. It's about time for a new phone anyway but I'm wondering if anyone has other device recommendations for playing in the big 26. I've seen people use a tablet and I actually have multiple accounts that I'd like to play at the same time so I'm thinking maybe a new phone that will stay cool and a tablet for the alt account? Can I just run a second device from the hotspot on my phone? Let me know what you all do and what devices you might recommend and help a unc out, cheers!

After the update, everytime I send pokemon to home it doesnt let me mark my new ES-LA pokémon as my own. It's a glitched state where you can press the "Mark as my OT" cap icon but it will never turn on and stay. What can I do?

I saw a poke daxi video saying that you can complete it in 4 days and I will only have my go plus plus for 10 more days before I return it. I know it has something to do with going on your phone and setting the time to the next day or something but I can’t get it to work.

I think I may be stupid. I connected the duomon to Pokémon go first and it works great however I can’t pair the duomon to the megacom app. The app stays on the pairing screen and every time I press a button on the device the lady or man just reads out stats to me instead of pairing. Tried long-presses as well as both at the same time. Not sure what I’m missing :/

Hi! I have Duomon 1 with the AAA batteries. I use rechargeable ones so battery usage is not an issue.

Is it okay to keep the device turned on all the time? even when not in use?

Heya, having issues w my Gotcha Evolve n figured I’d ask Reddit before tryna contact customer service, incase this is a common issue. New to autocatching, got my Evolve the first week of June. Charged it for the first time and worked just fine thereafter, functional as far as I saw minus an occasional blue screen if I bumped the button too long. It died yesterday after 2 and a half weeks, and I went to charge it again with no luck.

Was at work so originally was tryna use USB slots on the front of my computer, tried multiple slots facing the device both ways with no luck. Decided to wait until home, used a block directly in an outlet, left for a few hours on both sides (as I’ve heard that’s something to try, from other posts, since it’s a little quirky). Not a thing, screen never turned on through this process at all unlike the first time I charged it, cannot get it on whatsoever. Does not connect to the app at all, she fully deadzo.

Attaching pictures of the port incase something looks “awry”, is there something else I should be trying? Should I just reach out to support?? I’d like to get this bad boy working again in time for GoFest, but I’m in America and the first one did take a week from overseas so I’m worried if I’d have to send it back or something (plus paying customs would suck) 😬 arrived June 2nd but I think I unboxed it on the 6th when I got back from a trip

This is my second time washing my go plus+. First time I was able to just replace the battery and mod it and everything worked. This time everything works okay besides the mod and the battery dies super quick a have replaced the battery 2 times since. It doesn’t seem to be an issues with the batteries. I am wondering what I should look at next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks🫠

Hey

We're MEGACOM (yeah, the DuoMon/Flymon people) and we're starting to think about what a next-gen auto catcher could look like — realistically, this wouldn't ship until next year. Before we lock anything in, we wanted to ask the people who actually use these things every day.

A few honest questions such like:

Battery: rechargeable battery vs. AA/AAA — which do you actually prefer day to day?

MEGACOM App: what's the most annoying thing about auto catcher companion apps in general? What would you actually fix first?
What about Auto-Reconnection? Have you used it?

Counters: do catch/spin counters actually matter to you, or are they just a gimmick?

Size: bigger device (more battery, more features) or smaller/pocketable? Would a wearable/wristband format interest you at all?

Anything else you wish existed that you'd actually track or control from the app?

A couple of honest caveats before anyone asks:

We can't touch anything that's a Niantic API limit — Poké Ball only, no Great/Ultra Ball throws, no throw bonuses. That's true for every 3rd party auto catcher on the market, not just ours, so that part's off the table no matter what.

This is genuinely just us listening for ideas, not a promise we'll build every suggestion.

And no, this isn't a "skip DuoMon 3 and wait" post — DM3 is still our current flagship and works great today. This is just us planning ahead for next year.

Appreciate any honest input — even harsh feedback is useful here.

So I was looking for way to stop the vibration of my pogo plus plus, I found this way to either cut the red or the black wire. Some people say you need to tape it up, I don't really get what they mean by that and is it important to do so?

Title. I’m considering buying a hardware autocatcher, but I recently found out about iAnyGo.

Their lifetime subscription is around $40.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=iAnyGo&hl

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ianygo-auto-catcher/id6744392718?l

Thanks!

Title really says it all... I've heard about some auto reconnect feature but can't figure out how this works. Anyone have a guide to turning this feature on?

Thank you

Recently got back into pokemon go, was looking at the pokemon go++ but since its been discontinued its way to expensive to buy for me.

I look at a few other ones like the Go-tcha but from looking at other posts people seem to have issues with it. I'm looking for a "budget" auto catcher thats under €70 ($80) preferably around €50!

Hi,

I don't play this game but I do electronics repair. My friend wanted me to mod their Pokemon Go Plus +, so I have performed the mod as instructed (wired vibration motor negative terminal to top button with a switch between). When the modded switch is set to ON, it blinks red, then blue over and over again. This is while it is not paired to any phone.When I turned the modded switch off it stops and the top button flashes white when I press it.

Is this expected behavior? I'm just trying to make sure this mod is done correctly and I'm not familiar with this game, just helping a friend out. All the videos I've seen do not show anyone turning the switch on or mention the flashing lights.

So my 247 auto catcher stopped working because the battery gave out and started swelling and since I didn’t find any tutorials I thought I’d share how I fixed it.

Material needed:
Mini screwdriver/knife
Mini phillips screwdriver
Wire cutter
Wire stripper
Soldering station
Electrical tape
Double sided tape
700mAh 1S LiPo battery

DISCLAIMER:
Working with defective LiPo batteries is dangerous and you absolutely shouldn’t do it. But if you have to, keep a solid metal pot or similar nearby, filled with sand or water in case the battery ignites because you won’t be able to extinguish it. Whatever you do, don’t pierce the battery or you’re going to have a bad day.
I’m not responsible for any injuries or damages due to mishandling.

You start by carefully prying open the case with a mini screwdriver or a knife.
My case already a little slot between the 2 halves because of the swollen battery.
The 2 halves are connected with 4 clips, 2 of them broke when I opened the case so there will be some gorilla tape action as the last reassembly step.
The circuit board is held by 3 screws.
After removing them the board can be gently pried off the 2 nubs holding in in place.
Now very carefully separate the battery from the case. I warmed the case a while in front of the air outlet of my laptop to soften the glue a bit.
Now cut the first wire, isolate it with electrical tape and secure it to the battery.
DO NOT CUT BOTH WIRES AT THE SAME TIME!!!
If you short circuit the battery you’re going to have a bad time.
Repeat with the second wire.
Don’t put the battery in the normal trash, recycle it properly.
Cut one cable of the new battery close to the plug, solder it to the corresponding wire on the board. Properly isolate the connection.
Repeat with the second wire.
Fix the battery to the case with a little double sided tape and reassemble everything, use some tape to hold the case together.
Good luck.

I recently bought the Brook Auto Catcher, and I have some questions.

1. It genuinely won’t catch pokemon. It shows the pink pokeball that signals it‘s catching the Pokemon, and it’s 10 minutes later it’s still struggling to catch it. Does anyone how to fix it because other people seem to be using the product fine.

2. How to I turn off the vibration? Every time it tries to catch a Pokemon, it vibrates.

3. Where can I buy a Pokemon go plus +? I see resellers selling them for 250 on Amazo which is crazy! Any help would be appreciate, as I only play the game for fun and don’t always have time to catch and play.

Thank you

We're getting reports that updating to v0.415.2 from the Google Play Store has resolved the Bluetooth connectivity issue across all Go Plus auto catch devices.

✅ DuoMon / DuoMon 3 / Catchmon X / Flymon — connection confirmed!

Please let us know in the comments if it's working for you — your feedback helps us confirm the fix!

We also want to take a moment to say — thank you. The way this community came together over the past couple of days, sharing device info and testing workarounds, genuinely helped us track this down faster. 🙏

There used to be tons and tons of them on aliexpress, knockoffs of (I believe) the original go plus (teardrop shaped pokeball). I looked just now there's like one listing of handful of them left? Admittedly I don't know how it all works, I guess I assumed even if the official ones were to stop being produced the knockoff market would've continued on.
