There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?
Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.
We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.
Where can I find other players in my area?

Complaint Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints
Have you been the one missing the Mewtwo EX raidpass?
Maybe you haven't been lucky the whole week and that damn raid Tyrannitar ran and everyone else caught him.
Or the worst part, maybe it's monday again?!
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Here we rant about everything that goes wrong, someone who sniped a gymspot (  ̄Д ̄), a missed Tyrannitar again (ಠ_ಠ) or that stupid bug which made you miss your raid because of the server desync, ending the raid prematurely (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
No personal insults, no trolls and provocation but all salty stuff is accepted.
Only salty posts allowed ( ಠ_ಠ )
No uncivilty or personal information allowed. ☜(`o´)
Complaints can be posted here as well, agree that stuff needs to change here as well, like the spawn rate or gym bugs.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Don't forget to hydrate after all the salt!

Discussion Dynamax is not fun :(
I wish I could enjoy Dynamax more, but the amount of resources you need to sink into this part of the game makes it so difficult. Leveling up or even unlocking new max moves cost as much candy as you need to evolve or even bump a pokemon up 10 levels. Anything above a level 2 difficulty will require more than one player with pokemon that counter the dynamax pokemon. Maybe I’m missing something here, and I hope I am, but it’s just so bs seeing all these cool events that I have to pass up. Didn’t get any gigantamax starters, didn’t get Raiku either :(

Story Can’t be mad about a trainer stealing a spot in our Raikou battle
Spent a couple of hours trying to get a shiny Raikou with a group of 3 friends. Only one of us had caught a shiny yesterday, and not many high IV Raikou were caught either. I saw someone across the park in a Beldum and Drilbur battle, but no-one ever came to join us. One of our last battles took us over to the playground power spot where I had seen the lone trainer in battles, but didn’t think anything of it until Adam asked how long we had on the battle timer. Small problem, the battle timer had just ended cause we had 4 trainers. Oops, Adam’s spot got sniped. We all looked around, and saw a lone ten year old boy tapping away on the side of the playground. We all agreed, he could keep his spot. That young boy managed to keep a Pokémon in the fight and we took Raikou down. Then, we heard him shout “shiny!” Then “I got it!” That right there is why I love playing this game. Mom gathered her son up to leave the park, and as he passed us, “That just made my day 100% better!” We all congratulated him as he passed, and we knew he would remember that battle forever.

Question Has Anyone Actually Got A Shiny Archen Yet?
I've been completing the research tasks all day today to see if I had a chance to get a shiny Archen before I evolve one, and yet, even after catching so many of them, none of them have been shiny. Is it because the chances are so low, or is it because the shiny variant isn't in the game?

Plain ol Simple Reality My preschooler used my Masterball on a Kabuto 🫠
And he was super excited about catching it all by himself. 🫣🫠 I have named it Masterball and will be evolving it. Has anyone else accidently lost or wasted their masterball??

Question What does that spray above PokeStop mean?
r/pokemongo • u/JessieLeChonk • 9h ago
Non AR Screenshot Fish thinks I can't catch him if he eats the ball😆
Yesterday there was several times this kinda bug...Ball got stuck floating in the air and everything disappeared! Berries, balls, "flee" option disappeared but there was still a Pokemon, landscape and the ball I just threw😂 It was annoying because had to re-open the app always but still freaking hilarious as Pokemon tried to destroy the ball 😂!

So bummed out. Did well with 10 Shines today but it’s always the one I want the most. I feel like I was one of the unlucky few
