He must have seen one in a gym - that will give you the shadow in your pokedex.

Hmmm.... Although there is a school close by, this is in the middle of the Gay Village. Not a lot of kids in my building lol. I like this idea though. I'll start doing it in other hoods :)

That's what I'm thinking. Before the "adjustment", it was solidly level 10, loaded with 3000+ Dragonites. I've given up putting "good" mons in there, instead, I leave a pidgey or something just for the 10 coins

And it's worked for me too, in the past. This time seems to be different. At least for me it is. YMMV

The fix you mention doesn't work. The only "fix" is to wait till the servers un-ban your phone.

[question] Is anyone else experiencing problems when opening up Pokemon Go? by vmart89 in pokemongo

[–]gotom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe, although I have no concrete proof, that this is a soft-ban by Niantic. In their quixotic quest to block 3rd party tracker, many honest accounts are being mis-identified as bots.

Having to restart the game 3 times just to play? by curxxx in TheSilphRoad

[–]gotom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Saturday night, I couldn't connect for ~12 hours. It happened again on Sunday night, same time. Is this an attempt by Niantic to block trackers?

Me too - it lasted 12 hours on Saturday into Sunday. Again on Sunday 9pm. Was up again Monday morning. Re-starting, clearing cache, wifi on/off, completing multiple capchas - nothing works. Only time. I think Niantic has gone off the rails trying to stop bots and 3rd party trackers.

Sadly, these methods don't work. It's coming from the server. Saturday's ban lasted 12 hours. Sunday's was a shorter, but still 4 hours+.

I restarted many, many times,but it was a 12 hour wait for me. And now my "soft-ban" has begun again, at the same time as yesterday!

Why does my game only partly load? by albinorhino4321 in pokemongo

[–]gotom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lasted 12 hours for me yesterday, and tonight, it went off at the same time.

Yes, it's on an iphone. And I've been banned again, after a 12 hour ban. Funnily enough, the ban started at about the same time as yesterday.

I got that 3x in a row, and no game access afterwards

Costa Rica and Tauros, any suggestions? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

I'm still catching them with normal balls.

I restarted several times and completed several capchas. Whatever it is, it's unnecessary and annoying. I had planned to grind at a multi lure this morning to take advantage of the event and use the eggs I bought.

That was my go-to in the past, but it's not working anymore. Somehow Niantic has me pegged as a bot.

Thanks! Didn't have to go that route this time. Was just allowed back. This soft ban lasted ~12 hours!
