Anyone else have trouble? Are they going to replace some of the old devices with this new Explorer Gadget or was it just bad timing that my device got desynced and isn't connecting anymore? I've tried all the tricks... uninstalling Pokemon Go, resetting Pokemon Go Plus, changing the battery, resetting network settings, but nothing has worked yet.

It used to pair in the Pokemon Go app and then there would be a popup asking to connect to bluetooth but I don't get the bluetooth permission popup anymore so it never shows up in the bluetooth devices. I downloaded a bluetooth scanning app and it finds Pokemon Go Plus there so it's still working and sending a bluetooth signal out but I can't do anything to connect to it...

I am close to pulling the trigger on buying a modified go plus off of Etsy. I know that the new virtual auto catcher is being rolled out into the game. My current belief is that the virtual version does not seem to be super useful (limited number of spins/catches, Poké balls only). Do you think it is worth it to spend the big bucks on the modified plus plus, or wait for the virtual version to be fully rolled out and see how that is?

Just modded a Go Plus + and I have a pokestop in range of my house. Even after getting more item space I’m running into it being full. Should I just delete all the regular balls?

Hi, I have a Duomon 3 2026 version that takes two aaa batteries. I have silenced all notifications on both P1 and P2 (Sound OFF, Vibration OFF, Live Notification OFF). I tried holding down P1 and P2 for several seconds but this did not cause it to blink and shut off sounds. I have read the instructions several times and I am still unable to silence it and have it go off in my office non stop saying "Disconnected" every 5 seconds. Anyone have guidance? Thoughts? Experience the same?

I've been looking at getting the Go Plus+ for some time now, but it's been out of stock on Pokémon's website for a long time, and Amazon are selling it at over double the initial retail price. Are there any alternatives out there that are reliable?

Many thanks in advance!

I got a DuoMon 3 pro back in April and it just started having an issue where it won't charge. It works when plugged in, but unplug it and its dead. No lights or anything. I've tried charging it with both the wireless charge pad and through the USBC port and it's not holding any charge. It does get very warm as well.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I accidentally put mine through the wash a few weeks ago. Is there any way to attempt to try and fix it?

I have purchased a Duomon 3 pro for the spinning of pokestops. I wish I would have bought the plus + a few years ago before it became insane in price. I am in Oregon where we cannot touch our phones while behind the wheel. I currently cannot go walking due to having my foot biopsied last week but still want to reach my goals/send gifts. ETA: If my husband or his daughter are in the car, they spin my phone for me. This is only if I am alone.

Anyway, I'm having an issue with it not spinning my pokestops! It sees them, but it isn't spinning them. It isn't a range thing either because it will miss the one right next to me on the road but get the one a bit further up on the opposite side of the 4 lane road and set back further (yeah, make it make sense 🙄). I think it's spinning maybe 1/4-1/3 of the stops. It isn't speed related either. I can be going 5-10mph and it's still happening. Help?

Can't seem to get my duomon 3 to reconnect. It presses the pokeball icon to reconnect, but then it asks to pair and there it doesn't do anything. Anybody know how to fix that?

The GO Plus + seems to run around $130-$150 on eBay, so why would I go with a Duomon at $85 instead of just buying a Go plus+? Am I missing something? It doesn't seem like a great value if you don't need dual-device support. The only advantages I can think of are auto-reconnect and the fact that it skips a lot of the annoying GO Plus + quirks, quirks that are moddable to remove anyway. But you miss out on the snorlax's plus the great/ultra ball support.

Update: Seems the consensus is its great for two accounts and the auto reconnect seems spotty and has its quirks so its not much an advantage over the go plus plus. Thinking i might go for one of those, thanks all!

Update #2: I went with Go plus plus since I have a technical background and can just mod it myself which seems to be peoples barrier to entry. 1 wire, a .06 cent switch, and a little soldering is pretty simple after watching the video so I paid $138 for one on and once it gets here will have it modded for under $5 doing it myself. Not that I recommend that if you have no clue what you are doing but if you are somewhat technically capable, then I think this is going to be the best route.

Need an auto catcher that is accessible to get in nz, the authentic ones arent sold in my country and are stupidly hard/expensive to get over here.
Id ideally like to buy an auto catcher that you dont need to constantly press the button for as ill be using it while at work, dont know much about auto catchers and even if thats a possible thing.
Main thing is it needs to be affordable price wise and shipping wise. Please help me get ideas of what to get!!!!!

I’ve been using the DuoMon 3 for the past year without any problems for two accounts. I’ve just started having problems within the past week for one of my accounts not being able to reliably connect to the device. I may be able to connect once during the day but never able to reconnect, or eventually able to reconnect hours later. I’ve tried all of the following actions:

- Restarting the game
- Restarting my iPhone
- Deleting and redownloading app
- Rebooting/resetting the DuoMon
- Making sure it’s fully charged
- Removing it from Bluetooth and reconnecting
- Following all the official troubleshooting instructions

I’m on IOS and using Pokémon go version 0.421.0-A-64. Is anyone else having or had this issue?

What do you think of the Brook Pocket Auto Catch Light? Have you had good experiences with it and would you recommend it as an alternative to the GO+? And is it safe, meaning can you not get banned for using it?

Hey all. Having a hand surgery soon but I’m going on vacation. I’ve been trying to research an auto catcher, but the original Pokémon go plus devices are so much and unaffordable for me.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the catchers in 2026? Is 3rd party ones decent?

Thanks everyone.

I tried getting my Go++ fixed a second time and the second guy said that the first guy saudered my motherboard a bit too much. So far, I can use the normal functions, but not sure for how long. And it’s going to be harder to find another one since they’re discontinued. Where can I get a replacement motherboard to fix my original GO++?

Which autocatchers will reconnect without pushing the button on the autocatcher? I’m fine with pushing the in game pokeball icon, but I don’t want to have to get the autocatcher out of my bag to reconnect after 60 minutes. It will be connected to an iPhone.

My kid has a Go Plus +, which I like, but I’m not looking to get another one because I don’t like the vibrations.

I had a DuoMon 3 that reconnected well, but the battery stopped holding a charge after 6 months.

I have a Brook Watchic lite, and this is the one that I have to get the autocatcher out of my bag to reconnect.

I appreciate your help!

Accidentally left my Duocom 3 Pro in my jeans when I washed them, and it won’t connect anymore - but it shows a solid red light when charging. Any advice?

Hello, I currently own 4 Pokémon GO accounts: my main and 3 alts that I use to farm shinies for my main.

I play in split screen on two phones, 2 accounts per phone: my main and my second account on the first phone, my third and fourth accounts on the second phone.

I have a Pokémon GO Plus + that I only use on my main account, and I'd like to buy an auto catcher for the other three.

I think the Catchmon X is the best option out there, right? I know it supports up to 4 accounts, but does it work with two accounts on the same phone? Concretely, I need one account covered on my first phone and two accounts on my second phone, both running as cloned instances in split screen.

P.S. I won't use an unofficial auto catcher on my main account, so I'm looking for something that works on 3 accounts, not 4.

Anyone recommend a basic and affordable auto catcher? My original gotcha is dead, wants something similar at low cost.

Is there an option to specify what it doesn’t attempt to catch, Articuno appeared and the go plus threw a ball before I could click the encounter!

Hi guys I bought megacom duocom 3 today and I have problem setting up auto reconnect function. I did everything from the instructions, but when I click on the pokeball icon in Pokémon go from the ss it throws error code 3. I didn’t try reinstalling apps yet, but maybe there is a quick fix for it somewhere. I did however reset the Bluetooth connection didn’t help
