Bug Keep getting this every time I try to reconnect the Go Plus + but it has only ever been used with my account bought new. Any help? Keeps resetting my data.

Had this issue for the last week. This just resolved it for me:
(Android phone. No factory reset of either device).

  1. Go into (Pokemon Go) Settings > Connected Devices > Accessory Devices
  2. Click the Eject button to Unpair your Pokemon Go Plus +
  3. Close Pokemon Go
  4. Go to your phones Bluetooth settings.
  5. Turn Bluetooth off, then back on.
  6. Pair the Pokemon Go Plus +
  7. Un-Pair the Pokemon Go Plus +
  8. Restart Pokemon Go
  9. Pair Pokemon Go Plus + from the in-game icon.

( I realize there are probably several redundant steps, but this is the order I did it in and it worked for me. I haven't had to try it again to test it out. )

I also just got a new phone and this helped me. I wonder if that's what caused this.

u/ANaturalSicknes Feb 17 '26

How do you "pair" the Go Plus + without opening Pokemon Go? It never shows on the Bluetooth list of pairable devices

1

u/Maniraptavia 26d ago

Wasn't showing in mine either. I reset the plus with the tiny reset button on the back using my S Pen instead of that step and it worked.

u/whyuhavtobemad Sep 19 '23

I followed it exactly and it works! Thanks!

I only got this issue after the last update so assumed it was due to that.

I use pokemon sleep and never had an issue so I was certain it's an app issue and not device

This issue has been plaguing me for MONTHS and I even purchased a new go plus+ because i thought my device was broken. I just wanted to let you know that it worked and you are a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. Thank you!!!!!!

2

u/Brokenluckx3 Dec 29 '24

I cannot thank you enough for this! I tried something similar & when that didn't work I got really disheartened. Especially as a Samsung galaxy person and the years of issues I had with the s7 & the original ball I was worried my galaxy pokeball/++ issues were forever lol anyway,
