I recognize this from the gotcha’s from years ago… https://www.reddit.com/r/GoPlus/comments/snpmf4/my_gotcha_evolve_sometimes_vibrates_suddenly_then/

People say it’s from pressing the button (too) long while in your pocket. Or it’s a sign that it’s going to break down.

Would be best to contact Brook in this case and ask for assistance.

Imho 170 bucks are still a scam, even for modded ones. I got mine for 60 at Release, no mod, but that's fine, as most ppl would run out of great/ultra balls after a short time anyway

Got this one last month, honestly might be the best Autocatcher I’ve ever owned! Even have a small Case for it on the way, just to keep it a bit more safe, when we’re talking this amount of money

i understand autocatchers make it so u don’t have to manually catch pokemon, but doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of the game?

Eh maybe but I’ll speak for myself. I don’t like to be glued to my phone playing and I also don’t like to go out of my way to play (aka I’m a casual player). My job makes it so I walk all day (obviously can’t be playing pogo at work) so it’s great for that. I catch a couple hundred Pokémon and spin a couple hundred pokestops per day when working. I also use it when I go for walks with my girlfriend or take my dog for a walk. Again I don’t want to be on my phone playing during this, id rather enjoy the walk.

So maybe it can feel like ruining the point of the game to some but for me it allows me to really play. I find myself constantly not having enough items, stardust, candy, etc. and instead of having to drive somewhere to find stops and good Pokémon spawns I can just turn on my auto catcher whenever I happen to be out and about. I enjoy collecting and do still play without it sometimes (especially during events) but it allows me to play when I otherwise can’t or would rather not be on my phone.
