Troubleshooting

How to fix Pokémon Go not working

Pokémon Go is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach pokemongolive.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Toggle airplane mode on and off

    Flip airplane mode on for about ten seconds, then off, so the phone drops its old cell or Wi-Fi link and pulls a new GPS fix. If the map stays grey or a loading bar stalls halfway, the trouble is the connection rather than the app.

  2. Force stop and reopen the app

    On Android, go to Settings, Apps, Pokémon Go, then Force stop; on iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge, find the app in the switcher and flick it away. Open it again and sign in, because the app often holds a dead session after a network drop and a spinning ball never turns into the map.

  3. Allow precise location while playing

    On iPhone, open Settings, Privacy and Security, Location Services, tap the app and pick While Using the App with Precise Location switched on. On Android, go to Settings, Location, App permissions and allow location for the app; a battery saver or data saver mode can also block its background connection.

  4. Clear the cache, then reinstall

    On Android, open Settings, Apps, Pokémon Go, Storage, then Clear cache, and only use Clear data as a last resort since that signs you out and wipes your saved settings. On iPhone there is no cache to clear, so delete the app and install it again from the App Store. Your progress is saved to your account, so reinstalling costs you time and nothing else.

Error messages

Common Pokémon Go error messages

What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.

  • Failed to get game data from the server.

    Means
    The app could not pull your save or account data from the server.
    Fix
    Check your connection, then close and reopen the app. If it keeps happening, wait a bit and try again.

  • GPS signal not found. (11)

    Means
    Your phone is not giving the app a clear location fix.
    Fix
    Turn on location services and step outside or near a window. Restart the app if the message stays.

  • Unable to authenticate. Please try again.

    Means
    The app could not verify your login with the account provider.
    Fix
    Check your password and network, then try again. If you use a linked account, try that login method instead.

While Pokémon Go is down: what to use instead

  • Pokémon GO Web Store If the game loads but coin purchases keep failing inside the app, you can try buying PokéCoins through the official web store in a browser, though it may not work when the whole service is down.
  • Pokémon TCG Pocket Good for a short wait, since opening a pack takes seconds.
  • Monster Hunter Now It is another location-based mobile game built around real-world maps, so your walk still counts for something until the app comes back.
  • Pokémon HOME You can sort the Pokémon you already moved over or trade through Wonder Box, but any new transfer from the game has to wait.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Pokémon Go

Since 6 October, 15 of Pokémon Go's 17 spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

About

What happens when Pokémon Go goes down

Pokémon Go is a mobile game that has you catch Pokémon in the real world with your phone's GPS and camera, on iOS and Android, and it draws daily players who raid together, battle in gyms, walk to hatch eggs, and trade Pokémon. When the service goes down, it interrupts whatever you were doing: spinning a PokéStop, catching a spawn, checking a gym, or joining a raid.

When the app can't reach its servers, you may see a failed login, a blank map, a spinning PokéStop that never loads, or an error when you try to catch something. PokéStops and gyms break first. They need a live server check before you can spin or battle, so the map may load while those actions fail, and raids can hang at the lobby or drop you mid-battle. GO Battle League matches may end with a network error, but problems are often partial: one region or one mobile carrier can be affected while other players keep playing.

Questions

Pokémon Go FAQ

Is Pokémon Go down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether reports for the app are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping or monitor the service itself, so use it as a signal from other players. To see whether the issue is only on your side, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data and restart your phone. If another device on a different network loads the game with your account, the problem is local to your connection or handset.

Why does Pokémon Go say it failed to get game data from the server?
That message means your phone reached the login servers but the game could not pull your trainer data, because the service is having trouble or your connection dropped mid request. If the status at the top of this page shows a spike, wait a bit and try again. Otherwise, force close the app and reopen it on mobile data to rule out a local network block.

Why is my Pokémon Go Plus or Poké Ball Plus not connecting?
The accessory pairs through Bluetooth, so a dead battery or a phone that has Bluetooth off will stop the connection before the game even sees it. Unpair the device in your phone's Bluetooth settings, then pair it again from the game's settings menu. If the app still ignores it, test the accessory with another phone to see whether the fault is with the accessory or the handset.

Why did my raid pass disappear after a raid started?
A raid pass is used when the lobby timer ends and the battle starts, even if the app crashes or your connection drops during the fight. Check your journal to see whether the raid was logged and the pass was consumed. If the pass vanished without a battle, restart the app before you spend another one.

Why does Adventure Sync not count my steps?
Adventure Sync reads step data from your phone's fitness app, so missing permissions or a battery saver setting can stop the count without any server problem. Open your phone's settings and allow the fitness app to share motion data with the game. Then turn off battery optimization for both apps. If the count stays at zero, check that the fitness app itself recorded the steps.

How we track Pokémon Go

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Pokémon Go, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Pokémon Go, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Pokémon Go doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
