Pokémon GO is suffering from a series of bugs that do not allow users to enjoy a complete experience. A few weeks ago, players stated that Team Rocket balloons do not appear for everyone and this excluded a certain sector from the possibility of obtaining the rewards. The last one is even more annoying and can even make you miss out on capturing a unique creature.
This error has to do with two of the most useful items for hunting Pokémon in Pokémon GO. We are talking about Incense and Baits to attract monsters to your position, although these do not fulfill their mission as they should due to a problem with the Niantic game.
A very annoying problem
The main purpose of this work is to go out in search of getting all the Pokémon, although this work has been frustrated by the recent problems that the game is experiencing. At first it was thought that it was a matter of a few players, but more and more are suffering from it.
There are several errors that Niantic must solve and that is why it does not stop its work to fix them. Mainly, because it prevents the normal capture of the many users who come daily to the delivery.
In short, the bug causes the Pokémon that appear due to Incense or Lures to disappear so quickly that there is no time to click on them to start the fight. It has been through the Reddit platform where it has been discovered that it is a widespread problem in the community.
One of the players states the following: “This is super annoying and I see it happening on 2 phones . Incense spawns remain visible if they have been caught or touched when in fact they have already disappeared. So I think what I see is my actual spawn, but it’s not. I touch it and the spawn animation plays. If I’m not mistaken, it even blocks the spawn that it should have right now.”
Fix yourself Pokémon GO
There is no doubt that it is one of the most annoying bugs that have arisen in Pokémon GO, but Niantic has confirmed that they are already aware of the problem and that they are looking for a solution as soon as possible. However, they have reported a possible solution for users while they finish solving this bug related to Incense and Bait and it simply involves restarting the smartphone, as well as setting the date and time automatically. To do this you just have to follow these steps:
- Restart the mobile by holding the lock button and press the relevant option.
- Once started again, go to the device settings.
- Swipe until you find the “System Settings” section and access its interior.
- Next, select the “Date and time” section and activate “Set time automatically”.
At the moment it is the only existing solution. It only remains to wait for Niantic to fix it and for this you can follow their Twitter account to know exactly when the update will be available.
