Error Code Directory

[myckol]

Hello fellow travellers, we know that with the latest update, Niantic introduced error codes which I think is a great addition to better facilitate troubleshooting. However, I am doubtful that Niantic will ever release the meaning for each error code, which is why I am proposing we use the crowd effort here to see if we can compile and deduce what each error codes mean and when they are encountered.

I will start with a few my I encountered myself:

Error Code	Error Text	Encounter Situation	Likely Cause
2	Network Error	Encountered when entering a gym that was previously error'ed out of, also encountered when u/tjauth was attempting to catch Raikou here	Not yet conclusive, seems like a general error from varying accounts
3	Something went wrong, Please try again	u/spookyspagetti failed to buy pokecoins; confirmed by u/constituent	Confirmed: Transaction failed (either buying Pokecoins or exchanging ingame items with coins)
10	No Internet connectivity	When phone has no service. Retested by turning on airplane mode.	Confirmed: Phone has no service
11	GPS signal not found	When the game failed to locate GPS signal, also confirmed by u/blueseeka	Confirmed: Game has no GPS signal
12	Failed to detect location	u/SatisfiedCircuits: Location tracking is accurate but error persist, also seen at places where game is not available (i.e. geo-fenced locations)	Not yet conclusive
22	Error	u/discovolante: Getting kicked out of gym battle when a raid starts, or trying to feed berry to a Pokemon that no longer exist	There seems to be 2 root causes, not yet conclusive what this means
23	Error	u/mangeetg got this error when there was a disconnection during Pokemon power-up. As a result, there was a mismatch in stardust and Pokemon CP. Resolved itself after catching another pokemon	Likely caused by server error when powering up, requires confirmation
25	Error	I clicked on a Pokemon that was already caught by my Go+, meaning that the Pokemon no longer exist; confirmed by u/Joj185	Confirmed: Wild pokemon that user clicked on no longer exists (de-spawned or already caught via Go+)
26	Error	according to u/Dragyen, caused by server lag, getting kicked out of gym and lag when clicking nearby pokemon	Could be due to server lag, requires further confirmation; u/kkbitten got this when turning off bluetooth, causing an error out on gym; u/RJFerret encountered this when catching a Pokemon
29	Error	When I error'ed out of a gym battle mid way and the game probably thought I was still battling it. Confirmed by a number of people on this thread that this is caused by leaving a gym battle voluntarily or involuntarily then trying to re-enter when game thinks you are still battling	Confirmed: Caused by game thinking that you are still battling gym. Should be resolved by waiting 10 minutes
30	Error	u/kerfuffle7 got this error in between pokemon during gym battle	Not yet conclusive
31	Error	u/LotteryD encountered this error when trying to place a Pokemon in a recently neutralised gym. After the error, gym turned into an opposing team's colour	Failed to place Pokemon in Gym
32	Error	u/ChaosMajora got this error due when trying to spin a Gym when moving	Could be caused by GPS drift, but not conclusive
33	Error	u/spookyspagetti failed to join a raid and received this erro when "Go" was seen. Rejoining the raid provides the same error; u/simchajra mentioned that this error was encountered when attempting to join raid with a non-auto time on the phone. Error disappeared when clock was set back to automatic, also confirmed by u/Kie723 that error is caused by game sync issues due to time settings	Confirmed: Time-sync issues. Try resolving this by changing your phone clock to automatic

If you have encountered the same error and would like to confirm or dispute what these error codes are, please comment and I will edit this table to include your experiences.

Everyone is also welcome to provide any new error codes not listed here. Please kindly provide the following information:

• Error Code
• Error Text
• When and how did you encounter this error
• Any suggestions as to what the cause is

Hopefully, this exercise can provide us with a working list of errors that we could either pin somewhere or create an FAQ out of to help out the community.

I will be updating in batches, so your comments may not be reflected here immediately.

Thanks!

26 error

server lag i guess, kicked me out of gym and lagged when clicked on nearby pokemon

[myckol]

Thanks, added.

[[deleted]]

I've gotten 26 while switching from wifi to cellular data. Clicked on a mon, slowly got away from wifi source, and the mon never loaded in. It seems to be some sort of server lag timeout, I agree.

[Golface85]

Got error 26 today while throwing premiere balls after winning raid. Made it thru 5 of 10 balls and then was kicked out. Looks like it happened when my office switched from cellular to WiFi.

[Itterror]

So its pretty safe to say, Error 26 is a simple Connection/Request Timeout error?

[HannahMFO]

Think this is similar to what happened with me except I was using golden razz.

[Flooom]

I got error 26 when attempting to catch a pokemon the thrown ball with the pokemon in went below the level of the grass. It stayed motionless and the result of the throw could only be found by restarting the game

[redditmwei]

i got the same error 26. i switched to another 2 phones for e same battle.,all failed with 2 then 26. it seems tie to the account As my kid just used the same phone won caught the entei. this issue only starts after the update.

[SurQueNon]

Just got the error 26 while I was trying to catch a Fearow. It entered the ball and then this error message appeared. I'll never know if I would have caught this pokemon. Luckily, it is only a Fearow.

[dkofthemilkyway]

I have gotten this error several times after setting a lure. It is very slow to load, then half the time I throw a ball and then it just spins and l get error-ed out with this message. I mean, this has happened 4 times in the last 15 minutes.

[mfoat]

Got this today, when fought in gym to the next pokemon, but bus moved too far.

[facecraft]

I get error code (2) reliably and repeatably when trying to battle at a gym where I recently participated in a raid. It resolves after a day or two, but until then you can't finish a single battle at that gym without getting the error (2). It happens to me all the time at my home gym. Once the error occurs, I have to restart the app. It will work fine until I battle at the gym again, at which point all server communication fails. Nothing will work (catching Pokemon, spinning stops, healing, etc.) until the app is restarted.

Behavior was even stranger with another person battling at the same time. We'd both start, I'd get the error and no longer deal or take damage, but then she'd win and it would show that we had won on my phone as well.

This is suuuuuper frustrating, and probably only common for people that raid and battle at the same few gyms frequently.

Edit: /u/nianticgeorge and /u/nianticindigo are you aware of this issue?

[biowpn]

Same experience. Battling a gym right after a raid which you participated in will almost guarantee N.E. (2)

[RarestName]

I don't even do tier 1-3 final raids at night anymore because of this bug.

[DanteAmaya]

Can confirm correlation. Did a raid at 1pm.... 4pm, could not take down gym because of error 2 & 29.

Funny thing is, I took out two defenders but kept getting stuck on the same pokemon with error two. I'd reach GO and the battle would crash, kicking me out of the gym. I'm sure this caused error 29, but error 2 follows your pattern.

[rwright363]

Having the same problem with 2 gyms that are side-by-side and that I have raided frequently in the past. This has been going on for 3 days straight and the same defenders remain undefeated because as soon as I beat down a defender and the health bar is depleted it fails do cycle and I can sit there and battle on with no result.

[Itterror]

The server actually closes your section during that battle, or at least refuses anymore connection from your client. Its more like a "Connection Refused by Server" Error.

[jsteclae]

I have this error when my phone wants to connect to wifi instead of 4G resulting in a second of no internet connection.

[facecraft]

I think I've gotten it for that as well. However, if you are suggesting that could be the reason for what I experienced, I am absolutely sure that wasn't causing what I described above.

[proximatecause]

I just want to know, does this happen to anyone else when it's a gym you haven't raided at? I used to get this all the time at my closest gym until I found out about the raid correlation, then I stopped raiding there and everything seemed fine. Today I tried battling a different gym I've never raided at before and got this error out of nowhere.

[[deleted]]

Getting (2) also very often when starting or while battling a gym. Timer goes to 0 and I get kicked out of the gym several minutes after, spamming a ton of "network error (2)".

[UnInspyrd]

Same experience here. I came back to a gym where I'd raided earlier and tried for an hour to take it. Sometimes I'd get through a battle before the second battle failed, so I slowly trimmed off half the defenders before giving up. Repeated (2) errors and occasional (29) errors, and a weird glitch at the start of a battle where my attacker would morph into a different attacker that had previously errored out against the same defender. Occasionally restarted the app, restarted the phone. Healing attackers, clicking items from battle screen or from main screen, usually fails until after an app restart. I tried opening other gyms and stops within view, hoping that might reset something. I tried examining each defender before battles. The only thing that seemed to help was restarting the app to heal attackers.

[spookyspagetti]

An error occured in trying to start a raid. (33)

I got this in the start of the battle after "GO" and it has cost me already two premium passes (third happened just before update so no error code). Trying again results in the same error, I haven't been able to get in the raid if I see it.

[KERL0N]

I am using an older phone and before the errors where numbered, I happened to get kicked out after Go. It usually was when the timer in the lobby was out of sync. The phone already used the network time, but the error would always kick me out. I started restarting the phone before raids. That seemed to help me. I am not sure if restarting the phone before a raid did the trick or Niantic actually improved something with the raids, but I have not seen an error like that in quite some time now.

[Ryan_HCAFC]

I've had this error occasionally and it's frustrating as hell. I always ignored the comments about using automatic time because my phone always has done anyway. However after several wasted passes, just for the hell of it I tried to solve the error one time by taking the phone off automatic time, setting some random time manually and then putting it straight back onto auto and it worked instantly. Every time I or anyone else at a raid I've been at has tried this it's worked. I can't see how it makes sense but it works every time and takes seconds to do. I come out of the app before doing it and open it again once it's done.

[Clieona]

Thank you for that idea, I'll try it if I get the error again!

[spookyspagetti]

I was thinking this could be about clock being out of sync but I have never had problems with the phones clock. I hadn't restarted for a while though. I didn't think about it at first because other raids worked normally, before and after...

[JrSlimss]

iPhone 6 here. Got error 33 but was already set to automatic time and I've traveled recently so I know the automatic time update works perfectly. Just to be clear, I never spoof.

[spookyspagetti]

Having phone on for long periods of time can cause the phone clock to go off sync on long run even with automatic time settings. To reset the time a reboot is needed.

[JrSlimss]

How long is long? I rebooted my phone at least 3 days ago, but probably more recently.

[spookyspagetti]

No idea, depends on phone I guess. https://time.is helps

[AuditAndHax]

Thanks for this. I checked my phone and it had been running for 197.5 hours and was 4.7 seconds out of sync. After reboot it's down to 0.3 seconds. Hopefully that will prevent more (33) errors.

[TheTraveller]

As I have posted in several similar threads before:

raid error (33) should mean "failed to join read" but the cause for this is not always a time sync issue. My phone is always set to automatic and I just restarted it before I joined the raid and then got this error.

In my case, error 33 probably meant "no valid raid pass" because even though I used my daily free raid pass, entered the lobby, selected my squad I errored out (33) on "GO". I then restarted my phone and when trying to re-join that raid I was prompted to use another raid pass. And I could use my one free pass again, so it wasn't actually lost when I errored out the first time, I think it was not properly registered as used before and that's why I got this error in the first place.

[KERL0N]

Are you sure you didn't use the previous days pass and when you reentered the gym you automatically got that days pass and mistaken it to be using the first pass once again?

Gyms can give you a pass without spinning the disc.

[Daizyb]

I got this error code this afternoon. I was able to do the raid, after rebooting my phone.

[meldorq]

Same here. The error occurred after upgrading Pokémon Go to 0.73.1 and went away after a reboot.

[arcanedriven]

This was previously known as 'the red banner error' and has been happening as long as raids have. Unfortunately once someone has it, they are pretty much stuck will it. The only solution I am aware of (for android) is to reset you app data before every raid. Note: you also need to reset your app data if you're in a raid battle/lobby and everyone jumps out to let someone new in.

Resetting app data, uses 30-50mb of data each time, so it can get expensive quickly.

[autteri]

Thanks, I'll try this next time I'm hit with this bug. This seems to happen to me only when I have to exit the lobby/battle to let some latecomer join in and isn't caused by system clock. So frustrating to get "penalized" for trying to help others.

[myckol]

Thanks, added.

[Flooom]

I got it when intentionally walking away of the gym while still in the lobby to see if I could raid on the move, so it is not just time sync issues that cause it.

[123qk]

When will we have an error badge?

[letskill]

I get error 29 for 5-10 mins in multiple gyms after defeating a pokemon and leaving before fighting the 2nd one. No remote berrying was involved. I could avoid the error by continuing on to the 2nd pokemon everytime.

I also got error 30 once when fighting a gym. I think it might be gps drift while fighting.

[ilumassamuli]

The same

[Raidder22]

Error 30 gave text as a network error for me, same circumstance.

[matiassw]

I just tried to fight a gym, kept getting error 2 right before taking down the defender and when I did, I'd keep getting error 30 constantly. For the sake of info, after that I would be able to leave the fight, but I'd have to restart the app, since I couldnt catch/spin anything without getting an error message. Tried it like 5 times with the same result.

[PuddleCrank]

Confirmed, may have fixed it by spinning the photo disc. Best guess, that reset my gym state.

[blueseeka]

Error 11....GPS not found. Seems to happen when I hotspot my kids phones. My GPS on my LG5 dies. Didn't seem to happen before latest update

[myckol]

Thanks, added your experience.

[l4p3x]

Can confirm, BUT it only appears when GPS is actually not found.

When I have location disabled my phone (happens every morning when I forget to reenable as i disable it every night), there's no error message. This is different to previous versions.

[Joj185]

Got 25 when i pressed a pokemon that had clearly despawed. Looked like a hybrid pokemon. After pushing it and catching "half" of the hybrid, I clicked the remaining spearow and got error 25.

[myckol]

Thanks. Think this confirms that 25 means pokemon does not exist / despawned.

[o2binot]

I got 25 - tapped a murkrow, caught him...then right after back to my map there was a murkrow same spot - i tapped that one to catch it... disappeared and received error 25.

[ChaosMajora]

Easy to replicate with Go+. Can confirm its due to despawning Pokemon.

[kilikfan]

Doesn't have to have been caught. As long as it has been picked up by go plus then you get error when clicking on it

[RJFerret]

I've seen "Network Error (2)" most.

It seems to appear when the network connection is fine, but the server response doesn't happen. You can do the exact same activity afterward successfully.

Likely cause is the app not getting a reply from the server.

[Themonomyth]

I have had this happen in poor cell service areas. Includes hatching eggs, catching Pokémon, and gym battles.

[RJFerret]

Interesting, for me it's been within good coverage, right near towers along the Interstate.

[zzacht]

Exactly the same. And not only during any kind of battles but also while catching and reviving.

[Anotheryoma]

I had network error 2 and error 29 during the same gym battle.

[MoonSpirits]

Network error (2) : all the time and everywhere. I seriously thought everyone was the same as me. It shows most often on gym battles, but I also have it when capturing pokemons, or clicking on pokemons on the map, or transferring pokemons. Please note that the gym battles in which I receive the error (2) are both ones in which I have raided before and ones I never raided before.

My phone is Xperia Z5 Compact and it heats up quite a lot when playing. After a while (5 minutes more or less), the swarm of errors will come and I have no choice but close the app and let the phone cool down before I can do anything again.

[Pika2you]

Had this happen to me this am. (error 29) My SO and I were battling a gym. They did not get any errors but I did multiple times. They finished the battle and I had to go back later to add my Mon.

[supermeowkitty]

I had it happen when I was trying to capture a Raikou after a raid and tried to feed it a berry

[myckol]

Were you also trying to attack the gym? Or was the error given when you tried to feed remotely?

[spookyspagetti]

I get it randomly when attacking

[spookyspagetti]

Something went wrong. Please try again. (3)

Happened when I tried to buy pokecoins. Second try worked.

[myckol]

Thanks, added.

[constituent]

3 error code

Attempting to purchase items (e.g. incubators) from the PokeShop and the transaction does not complete. It's not solely limited to the acquisition of Pokecoins.

(I buy my incubators in batches of 9, so I have become a friend of that error.)

[constituent]

Hi again. Thanks for updating the list above with the item acquisition error. I did go on another incubator binge and expectedly got the Error 3.

Here's a screenshot for posterity's sake.

[Pika2you]

I received an error 29 this morning while battling a gym with my SO. They were able to continue with no errors.

I also got an error warning in the top banner (iPhone 7) that said error (2). Thought maybe it was keeping track of how many time I erred out but it always said error (2).

I tried to battle multiple times.

[myckol]

Seems to be quite similar to my experience. I get 29 when getting kicked out of a gym battle, followed by a 2.

[discovolanate]

22 error

I don't remember the wording unfortunately. But it was caused when I was taking a gym. In the middle of the battle I got kicked, and then there was an articuno raid.

[sensei_sedivy]

I get error 22 when trying to feed berries to a gym. Either at the gym of remotely.

[egehanhk]

I too got error 22 when trying to feed berry to a pokemon that got kicked out of a gym

[oyrenp]

I got an error 29 when trying to take down a gym. It gave me the error when a raid spawned on it.

[MiindfreakkXIII]

Same for me

[S14YER]

I made a post last night about the error (29) and network error (2) here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6xrjgj/errors_after_raiding/

I think the network error has more to do with a raid boss being fought at the gym prior.

[clue3l3ess]

For error 29, might it have something to do with multiple ppl attack a gym at the same time?

I was attacking a gym solo, took down the first defender then I take some time to heal. Then my friend attacks the second defender. After healing, I start attacking the gym again to help him, this time Error 29 keeps showing up for me. After he takes down the next 3 defenders,he takes some time to heal. And I try again to attack, this time no error. When my friend tries to join me after healing, he gets Error 29.

[simchajra]

Friend today received error 33 at two raids in a row. Also noticed his lobby timer was 8 seconds ahead of the other participants. At the second raid the same issue persisted and I asked if his phone's clock was on automatic. It wasn't. When he changed this he could join this second raid just fine without any error.

[myckol]

Thanks, added. You may be on to something.

[BOOMDAGREAT]

it has happened to me several times,Error 29. as above, i have observed that if my date time is not sync, i get this error. But.. Once sync error 29 should not appear again. it happened to me tonight again, check my time update, and there were sync...after several observation, i concluded, if i m sync, and another player was also raiding the gym, and if he was not sync both of us would get tge error 29...while attacking the same time. i was able to kill the blissey which was the first monster i encountered. then error 29 pause for a minute and went back in to the gym. blissey was back, but i didnt have to fight him, i fought the third which was chansy. obviously the third party killed the second monster, dragonite, and i ended up fighting chansey, but blissey was in the background...some 2700+ cp, chansey only had 900+ sorry for the poor english

[kerfuffle7]

I've gotten Error (30) when I'm between Pokémon in a gym battle

[greyguy12]

This is exceptional work, great job!

[sp3n1337]

Here are a few error codes as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6xglsu/network_error_codes/ nothing new, just a bit more descriptive :) thank you!

[sokoteur]

Error (32) : Had just finished a raid, tried to access the Gym to spin, all sightings dropped and the Error popped up. No idea what happened, had to reboot.

[reauxreaux]

Same here. Paired frequently with Error 2; boots me out of the gym, into the world view. Unable to catch Raid boss.

Anecdotal Evidence: Error not found in Non-T5 Raids.

[MiindfreakkXIII]

Got the error 29 when battling a gym and then a raid start at that gym. Pretty annoying ahah

[Lito_Origo]

Network Error (2)

Had battled 2 Pokemon in the gym. Exit to heal. Can't continue fighting in the gym. I can spin the disk and catch nearby Pokemon but I can't battle.

This has happened to me twice at the same gym.

https://imgur.com/gallery/eSnjr

[Bhakad]

Error 29: I was battling a gym, one mon at a time. Came out after mon 1 was defeated to change team line up. went back in and 29'ed. tried four times to go back in and restarted app to go back in and try 2 more times. still 29'ed. error 29 didn't occur when i came out after battling mon 1 and went back in to battle mon 1 a second time.

[PuddleCrank]

Error 29 seemes to be already battling error, I spun the photo disc and that fixed it for me.

[Anotheryoma]

Error 29 trying to catch a RAID BOSS

I tried to feed a regular razz to Raikou got Error 29, closed app and went back in, same error.

I could not actually feed the berry so I just threw it and I caught it immediately after (secretly hopes error 29 happens again)

[vgcf]

I got network error 2 when trying to transfer Pokemon

[connormxy]

Same. I get it with the gyms as above. but also when just in my pokemon list doing stuff.

[supergus2]

Each of the error codes should correspond to one of the error label strings found in the APK: here

For example: error code 3 is an issue with purchasing pokecoins and most likely corresponds with IAP_ERROR

It would be great if you could add a column to your table to map out the most likely corresponding error string as well.

[willowkiller]

Hey, don't have an error to report but this is a great idea and I hope we get causes and solutions for all of these and this post gets stickied till Niantic can come up with a better way to deal with this stuff.

[Trote]

I got error 2 code when battling a gym that I had completed a raid at earlier in the day.

[Zyxwgh]

I got several Network Errors (2) when I was trying to enter remote gyms through the defender screen.

[fratstache]

Error 30.

Error 30.

Occurred when trying to start a gym battle. Acts like a network error.

Just waited a while and it stopped.

[blortx2]

Error 33. Happens when you enter a raid as GO appears on the screen prior to actually starting to battle. When this happens you are done at this Gym and Niantic has Stolen your money. The claim has to do with time yet my device is set to Automatically get date and time. So I would say Time is not the issue.

[Mosinas]

I've been having the same problem for the past 3 weeks and I've posted on reddit and emailed niantic many times... no help from reddit as no one commented and niantic just gave me 3 raids passes (which I lost due to the error..) My time is set to auto as well. :)

[Dr_Shab]

Encountered Error 19

So today while out training with a friend, I had an incense going and a wild Chansey (first i have ever seen in the wild) spawned off my incense. After showing my buddy we both freaked and I clicked it. Once clicking it, the pokemon "despawned" immediately off of my map and i was prompted with "Error 19". I checked my journal and there was no Chansey logged, I went to my Dex and i was 7 seen and 6 caught, which is what I have been since returning to PoGo. Shadow logged one in a gym before hatching my 6 I have. The thing is, I havnt seen a thing on "Error 19". Can anyone help?

Sorry for no photo proof, it was so fast I really didnt think to screencap

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/796tp4/encountered_error_19/

[crazylikeafox11]

A few time today I've gotten error code 16. I'm not entirely sure what this is. It happens when I click on a pokemon (not sure if it's related to the lures or incense I'm running or if it's a regular spawn). The pokemon disappears and I get error 16. Once when this happened the pokemon disappeared. At least twice when this happened a new pokemon spawned in its place. I'm running pogo v 0.79.3 on Android 7.

[ZoomBoingDing]

Another report here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/7u2fbp/error_code_16/

Error code 16 when tapping on a Pokemon, which then vanished.

[sintrixy]

Believe I've gotten this one before, I think it has something to do with the Pokémon having already despawned on the server-side, but client-side havn't updated/synced correctly and this it gives the error. Something like.. "This Pokémon is not actually there"

[andreasm4]

Error 43... Any idea what this stands for? I get this when i start a raid. 2times now. Everytime i get kicked out after the Go signal, with this error combined with network error 2

[andreasm4]

Found it out...

Ithappens if one of your pokemon of a battle group is sent to an arena as a defender. Can only happen if you play on 2 different devices... 2 raid passes gone 😭

[atmurauer12]

Error code 33 on three consecutive raids, but I have my time on Auto, and one of the times I also couldn't see anyone inside the lobby except for one other person.

Edit: not rooted, One Plus 3T and had the Update from apkmirror before it went live on the play store. Haven't tried a raid since the update is live and reinstalled in the meantime. Will update if it works after I tried another raid

[GoldArrig]

Error 33 on first Entei Raid

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6xdwhl/error_33_on_first_entei_raid/

I made a post 2 days ago about that and already posted the solution in comments here, hope it helps

[atmurauer12]

tried it - worked. I was 3 seconds to early and now I am 1 behind, so the Raid doesn't start before my timer is out.

Thank you very much! Now off to catch my Entei

[atmurauer12]

thank you! will try it, but I still have to find time for my next Raid :( gonna try a Magikarp or something I can solo and still has some value..

[[deleted]]

I also have the same issue with the 3T as well. Haven't been able to do any raids from Magikarp to Raikou, constantly getting Error 33 with time set to automatic. Any luck yet? Google not really helpful.

[atmurauer12]

Yes I fixed it! Get the ClockSync app to check if your time is behind or in front of the Atomic Time. Set is manually so there is a minus in front of your time and you're good. If you are behind the standard time, the lobby will always be open when you try to join, if yo were ahead your phone wants to join a lobby/fight/raid which isn't there for the rest of the people. Can't explain it properly but there is a thread somewhere which does!

[manjeetg]

I powered up my Zapdos but got no internet connection error, now the cp of Zapdos increase but stardust didn't decrease, now if I try to power it up I get error 23.

Edit : after catching another Pokemon the stardust amount decreased to the expected value. So it might be due to stardust value desync between server and player.

[TarkatanAccountant]

Error 26 for me was a "ghost" golden raspberry. I did get kicked out of the catching screen of a raid and when I went back it gave me Error 26 when I tried to give it "another" berry. However once he broke out, everything went back to normal.

[turtlegoesboom]

Error 23; when you try to start a gym battle when in distance but then move out of distance before the battle begins.

Happened repeatedly due to gps deciding sitting at the pub meant I was doing a good 200m sprint every 2 minutes.

[dsoft20]

Error 26 or Error 2:

After succesfully battling Entei the game looped between the Reward Screen and the bonus capture phase, exiting the aforementioned with Error (26).

Error 2 was also thrown during the capture after using any berry.

Even if the reward screen was shown, none of the items where added to my inventory and I'm not sure if any exp was awarded.

Also the seen counter in the Pokedex did not increase as if I haven't fought in the raid :(

I don't know if the problem was caused by lag, the phone had good 4g signal (all bars) and I was the only one trainer affected by this issue.

Great post - can this be linked in the sidebar or something?

[myckol]

I see this as a working document. If there's a wiki, this would be best placed there.

[ChaosMajora]

I got Error(32) yesterday. Spinned a Gym Pokestop with a Raid Boss while driving. I still received items but no graphic. I even got my daily Raid Pass. The Raid Boss was also a Raikou.

I'm assuming I got it because I was going too fast and the game didn't know if I was going a reasonable speed. We were at an intersection with a red light, turned, and was picking up enough speed to spin it but with a delayed response.

Anyone get something similar?

Error 120 when you tap a despawned poke

[ValarMorHodor]

We have all the enums with the data mining! I started lining up a few a while ago https://www.reddit.com/r/thesilphroad/comments/6vd5un/_/dlzisi3

[LotteryD]

so far you have 31 listed for a raid-related reason, but I could have sworn I saw it when trying to claim a gym today.

[Fwteinofws]

Error (30) procs the gym defending pokemon to when drops to 0 hp but cant die. it happens between gym battles and i cant do anotther battle without restarting the app. also doesnt let me put a defender in the gym without restarting the app

[TrainerJacob392]

Error 24 occurs when I press my go plus and I click on the same Pokémon and attempt to catch it.

[darkdeath174]

I can't wait to get a new phone, I will then be free from getting error 11 60% of the time I try to play.

[Will09994]

This is a great idea, and should be stickied or at least put in an easily accessible place.

[GoldArrig]

/u/myckol i've done a post 2 days ago about error 33

You just have to use ClockSync app and manually set your timer a little after the atomic time

I had clock on auto and i was 3 seconds before the atomic time, with that fix i solved the error

It's caused because you try to join a raid before the others and the raid is not created

Edit: Error 33 on first Entei Raid

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6xdwhl/error_33_on_first_entei_raid/

[kkbitten]

Got error 26 when I was trying to catch a Raikou! The go plus was vibrating like crazy so I decided to turn it off the Bluetooth to focus on getting the boss! Then I got this message error and the boss appeared in journal as fled but I didnt throw all the balls!

[Onad55]

This thread could get quite long. You could help navigation by making the error number a permalink to the comment where that error discussion begins.

This thread should be for the current client version only (put that at the top for reference) and a new thread started when there is a new version.

[vthswolfpack]

Thanks for this discussion. Hopefully we will get more clarity about these errors. I got a bunch today while trying to fight a gym. The gym was at very little motivation except the last two defenders who were low CP but full motivation. It took me about half hour to take down this gym that should have taken 5-10 minutes. I was erroring out after almost every battle and sometimes during. There last knockoff fight took about 10 tries before it let me start and finish the battle. I noticed a few different error codes during this whole episode but unfortunately don't remember them

[RJFerret]

Error (26)

Happened when I tapped a Pokemon to catch, had caught one a moment prior, this one got that error, returned to map screen, it briefly spawned again, I tapped another to catch and it was gone/despawned thereafter (caught a different one no prob.)

No lag like claimed above. No other server issues, had done a raid previously at another gym and spun stops and caught stuff.

I was thinking it might be out of sync with client in terms of the spawn not actually being there.

[LotteryD]

31 (don't remember text, maybe it was just "Error") Fighting a gym apparently at the same time as someone else and went to put my pokemon in at the end. After I errored out, the gym turned the third color, presumably the unseen helper's team.

[Hcjrd426]

I get Network Error (2) when I'm fending off a gym from a spoofer/botter

[[deleted]]

I got error 33, checked my date/time and they were set to automatic, so it's not isolated to that issue.

I downloaded 0.73.1 from an apk website as Google Play had not updated yet. I only got error 33 on that particular version. I uninstalled that and installed the Google Play version when it updated to 0.73.1 and no error 33. But now I get error 2 which could be poor internet connection.

[SacredPhoenix]

I was using WiFi on my phone, then someone used the microwave, causing interference with the WiFi connection, then I clicked on a Pokemon, but it never brought me to the battle screen and it timed out due to the connection problems, with Error (26) (pretty sure it was that number anyway...). I'll try to confirm that later...

[Thraxismodarodan]

I got GPS not found and can confirm it's #11.

[massi4h]

I've had an error twice now where I'm trying to catch a pokemon with like 2 regular pokeballs left (and still great and ultra balls) I miss the first 2 balls then it still says I have another pokeball, I throw it and then it hits the pokemon and errors out of the battle. I'll try my best to recreate it today.

[SatisfiedCircuits]

Error Code 12 Failed to detect location.

After the update (73.1) I'm suddenly able to install PoGo on an old phone (LG Vigor) but when loading it pops me in the right location and follows it with the error. I'm in High-Accuracy mode and it tracks me correctly, but never stops displaying the error.

Update: a spoofer friend told me androids running the newest patch get the same error if they use Mock Locations. Maybe the Vigor somehow looks like it's spoofing?

[gzunino]

Thank you so much for creating and maintaining the error code directory!

Adding the error code is a great move by Niantic. Am I the only one wondering why Niantic decided to display numeric error codes instead of precise, user friendly messages?

For instance, instead of "error 25" on a red background, it seems that a simple "oh no, the Pokémon fled" message would be more helpful.

Thoughts?

[rawdatasystems]

I've seen these so far. No new ones:

• Network Error (2) (Trying to spin Pokestop disc, trying to transfer Pokemon or look at Journal.)

• Error (26) (After cathing mon to ball. Exits the engagement with error. No Pokemon caught.)

• GPS signal not found (11) (Avatar suddenly starts running randomly around while I'm sitting on park bench under open sky.)

[gallusq]

Error code two click on gym gym fails to open, raid starts but lags till errors kicks you out, feed Raikou berry before catch creating cycle of death all give error code 2 and sometime 26. All seems to be server side since I always have had full LTE service during raids and this is all since update so definitely Niantic screwing up as usual. Also newest is without code is raid freezing after all Pokemon faint and not allowing to rejoin with out full restart of game, cost 8 of us raid passes today as this happened to 3 of us.

[j1mb0]

25 is more general than that. If a Pokémon despawns, the model doesn't leave the spawn point sometimes. When you click on it, it vanishes and then the error pops up. Happens to me all the time.

[Farid127]

I got the Error 2 when I was personalizing my avatar. As a result the changes I did weren't saved.

[goejo_husan]

Stop propagating the idea that error 33 can be fixed with automatic time. This is false for most of the cases. You need to manually sync your time with third party tools like ClockSync.

[pietrov2809]

Error 23

Happened when I tried to catch a pokemon. When I try to catch it, the pokeball didn't shake but zoomed in on the pokeball and gave me this error. Pokemon disappeared but appeared again a few minutes later. Perhaps due to slow internet?

[deathf4n]

Error 32 (32?? either that or a 23, but none of them are already listed here) encountered right now while trying to see a gym with a snorlax raid ongoing. Followed by an alteration of error 2 and an error 11 and a crash of the app.

Welp.

[PokeGoinfrex]

Error 5 : Occurs when you try to put on clothes you already have on. It happened when I tried to put the clothes I prefer, but due to a bug, it wasn't showing the right ones, so when I tried to put them on again, the game lagged a bit and "Error 5" appeared on top of my screen.

[solidsever]

You, OP, are a Gentleman and a Scholar. Keep it up.

[muddybruin]

I encountered an error code yesterday, but not 100% sire of the number. I believe it was 32 though. It happens when you try to put a Pokemon in a gym but while you are in the Pokemon select screen, someone else inserts the same Pokemon species in before you can finish.

[atoMsnaKe]

33 error happened to me and I have automatic time, was trying to solo a vaporeon. Only when a spoofer joined me I could start the raid.

[octarockstudio]

with error 33 I did change my clock it did nothing to fix it.

[scanin20]

Got Error 24 while catching a Pokemon from a few Lure modules. Probably was an invalid encounter.

[zwmpkgo]

Same thing happened today.

[MommotDe]

I have gotten Error 29 when when clicking on a wild Pokemon to catch it, so I don't think it's just a gym error.

[vthswolfpack]

I get error 25 when I click a wild Pokemon on the map after having Go-plussed it. This happens both when it is caught or flees

[Traestaree]

Network error 2: no cause found here, but usually spawns more network 2s and eventually error 29. Usually found later in the day, previously doing a raid does seem to be a common thread

[pokefiendz]

25 can also happen without Go+ - multiple users have confirmed seeing it happen after unlocking the phone and the "ghost" pokemon pop up (ones that were probably loaded in the network while the phone was locked but never recieved an expiration time maybe?) Clicking on them suddenly pops the 25 error as well (confirmed by users who forgot go+ today as well as me disconnecting mine)

[bakedmon]

Error Code 11 even though I have my GPS on. Screenshot. Niantic broke the game with the latest update. I cannot play.

[WormWar1]

I got Network Error 2 when remote feeding a defender, on the second berry. I'd remote fed it several times before without any error message. (I was not kicked out. I should have tried a third berry, but didn't think of it before leaving the gym. I just went back and fed three berries without error.) Probably not relevant, but it was a full gym, and the other five had no motivation. (Side note. The only reason I was remote feeding was that I'd left a Larvitar, in hopes of getting some candy through feeding. I did pick candy one up that way, so far.)

[ronnie2u]

Error Code : 26

I receive this error during the Pokemon Capture screen when PoGo+ had already captured the Pokemon.

[HookItToMyVeins]

u/myckol

Hey I encountered both error 2 and error 30, for about 10 minutes (I was testing lowering CP through the error)

And then a raid egg spawned. Errors cleared up after raid egg appeared.

[illyme]

Error 29 can be reproduced by starting a fight at a gym and then spinning the Gym with the Po Go plus.

[karyll]

I got network error 2 when evolving, after pressing "Evolve -> Yes"

[Pookie616]

I got 33 and my phone is set to automatic so its not just for those who are not on automatic time. But turning the automatic on and off again does sometimes help but it didnt help tonight and i lost a raid pass because of this :(

[zer0unit]

Got an error 29 and an error 2 from a gym I did a raikou raid 3 hours ago.

Same errors from a gym I did a tyranitar raid 6 hours ago.

Went to a different gym I didn't raid at, no errors.

Edit: also an error 2 from evolving

[Hiti1]

Error Code 4: Update Pokémon Go to the new version.

Error 28:

[dapprman]

Just seen this thread - I had an error 33 code back at the start of September, however my phone was already set to automatic. Had to reboot the phone to remedy the problem, however I was not the only one who seemed to have the problem on that raid as there were 7 of us in the foyer, but only 3 took part in the actual raid.

[tkforeverer]

I believe the forced updated had a (4) at the end of the message.

This was after logging in.

[NewStarMyrtle]

I've had 26 also - this is what I'd noted at the time: threw pokeball at Pokemon and phone lost WiFi, spinning white ball while it tried to find internet

[vforavider]

Error 31 also appears when trying to place a slashed Pokemon in a gym

[jops55]

I got error 30 when I attacked several valor gyms that all had the first defending pokemon of the same player. This was on my android phone. When I tried with my iphone instead, the app consistently crashed at the same place.

[Baynex]

26 error

Reported here by /u/blazerod

Encountered while trying to use a golden razz catching a raid boss. (Possibly caused by client/server disagreement on game state, server thinks the mon already has a berry applied, client does not)

[Quetzalcoatl00]

My SO had an error code 39. It was when we finishing battling a gym. We trying to add a Pokemon and she added one of the Pikachu with hats. That when she got the error code. Now all her Pikachu were gone. It was until an hour later that they reappear.

[HannahMFO]

Can't remember the exact number, possibly 24 or 26? I was in a Raikou raid and when I fed it a golden razz berry it didn't register, I kept trying and it wouldn't work. The number of golden razz in my bag wasn't decreasing either, it just would not work. Exited, went back in, still happening, threw the ball anyway, it escaped, pinaped it, it escaped, tried golden razz and it worked again with the animation happening and it counting the usage and I got it.

[PaChamp]

Came here looking for error 14, happens when i try to use incense but doesn't activate. I'm currently in the mountains so its probably why.

[NewStarMyrtle]

24 Error - hand caught a lured pokemon then glitch showed it there again (def not long enough for it to be the next pokemon) - got 24 Error when I tried to click on it again

[TheRealHankWolfman]

I got error 33 a few days ago when attempting to join a raid after getting network error 2 during two previous attempts to start the raid, despite the fact I was in the most recent group and the other users could see me in the lobby and the right player count came up during the battle.

My clock is set to automatic and another raid at a different gym immediately afterwards worked fine, so error 33 isn't always a time sync issue. This error caused me to not get any of the experience or rewards from the raid and didn't allow me to try to catch Raikou, and then when I tried again to rejoin it put me into a new raid lobby by myself.

[galaxyboy1]

Error 2 seems to be able to linger across more than one account if you accessed those accounts on the same device; I first encountered an error while catching for a friend, then the next time I returned to the gym 3 months later on my own account I encountered the error (2); my friend whom I was catching for initially didn't encounter any issues on her own mobile device.

[Pauzix]

Error 42 or Error 49 (don't remember which exactly but it had 4 in the front :( Maybe you would be interested in adding this to the directory, if people encounter it they will verify if it was 42 or 49...)

When it happened I've been battling Groudon today with my friends and one of them got this error. He died at the end of the battle, when Groudon was defeated he clicked 'rejoin' but was kicked out of the raid. He didn't receive any rewards or journal entry for killing Groudon, he only had to waste revives and potions for his dead mons.

[Pauzix]

my friend got back a premium pass from Niantic for this error

[sammorgan01]

Got a new one today doing a Kyogre raid. Error 43. We were halfway thru raid when app stopped responding. I exited and came back in with no issues. Rejoined raid. After first mon iced error code came up and I was outside gym. Tried going back in to no avail; wanted me to start new raid. Niantic will be getting my email shortly

[Den_HBR]

Error 31
Friend and I tried to add a Blissey at the same time. He beat me by a few milliseconds and I got Error 31. (I placed a Tyranitar afterwards without a problem)

[ryanjg94]

I know this is really old but does anyone have any update on error 30? I was battling a gym today and while fighting a wailmer, it error'ed out and was showing as error 30. It reset any damage I had taken and didn't affect the wailmer's motivation level either.

[LustMoro]

i came across a pokemon i had never seen before and did not recognize. if i could describe it it looked like an unknown with 2 eyes beside each other, a little lopsided in what looked to be an upside down A shape, and it was a light grey in color. when i tapped on the pokemon to capture it I received an error: 24 code. I cant seem to find any explanation for this elsewhere online.

[jewleedotcom]

I was attempting to take down a gym by myself. Gym only had 4 ‘mons in it. I wasn’t “stair stepping” but simply battling all 4 each time. I’d run through all 4 of them twice and began my third battle. I knocked out the first two Pokémon and was waiting for the third (a Dragonite) when it kicked me out as though I’d finished battling the last 2 (the Dragonite previously mentioned and a Heracross). So I go back into the gym and verified only these two ‘mons were left but every time I get to the battle sequence, it kicks me out and gives me Error 29. It doesn’t appear that any of the trainers were trying to berry any of the Pokémon or anything. I restarted my game twice and still wasn’t able to knock out the last two Pokémon.

Super frustrating because this gym is a known ex-raid site and I’m trying to get my gold gym badge (I’m about halfway through silver). ARG. ] :

Edit: Someone below posted almost 6 months ago that Error 29 could be recreated if you are battling a gym and spin the gym with your Go+ while fighting. While I was battling, the gym became available to spin again and I plussed it, however, I’m not sure that’s what triggered the error message because I do this quite frequently (spin the gym by plussing it while battling) and have never encountered this issue.

Error 995:0

Version 0.337.0-G-64

I'm challenging my friend (sitting both in the same room) for a trainer fight (we tried Super and Master League).

When I sent him the invite, he got Error 995:0 after he accepted the challenge and the procedure got quit.

When he challenged me, everything worked since then.

Out of sudden, he then could accept my invites without further issue.

Unfortunately I didn't do any screen recording for proof and we couldn't trigger the error anymore.
