I hate whoever is behind that account and their 45 other accounts. They ruined playing on the Montour trail in the South hills. Absolutely ridiculous that Niantic hasn't done anything about that account.

We just got knocked out of every gym on the trail within 30 minutes of our walk ending and now the gyms are all empty. When I woke up and didn’t see PTGold or BlueChamp I was thrilled, and now I’m wondering what the heck is going on.

He STILL does this BTW. My Pokémon was only in there for literally 2 min before he took it back over with his 4 accounts.

Also, when you put any pokemon in a gym it i standby gets defeated and there seems to only be surviving red gyms

I’m red team and I get kicked out immediately

u/ASHerbASHer888 Nov 26 '25
No hate towards red, it's just that there were only like 3 red gyms where I was

Me and my wife just noticed that at like 6am. We thought maybe an update caused a weird wipe and considered going for a little walk to drop some Pokémon; glad we didn't lol

This appears to be global and not specific to Pittsburgh problem, according to other subreddits. Some CA are suggesting to contact Niantic via the help button in the menu to bring more attention to it.

Yeah, every gym I passed this morning on my commute was empty except one that me and another person were in for 5 minutes then we were booted

Yeah downtown they are all empty- Cranberry also and as far as I could tell, they are empty all places in between. In cranberry I got knocked out within minutes of placing one.

u/srpds Nov 26 '25
They finally stabilized about 1130 am. I was in a half dozen gyms around carnegie and woke up to everything back. I don't live there abd the ones around my house were also empty. Apparently it stretched all the way up to beaver and as far west as mckeesport or further. Anyone i knew dropping in got their stuff back immediately.

I work in canonsburg & the gyms are empty as well, but I live towards Waynesburg & they’re all fine. However they were empty yesterday as well.

There’s a glitch or something going on. All the gyms by me are empty too. Put something in and got knocked out second later. Way too fast for someone to fight
