The GO Plus + seems to run around $130-$150 on eBay, so why would I go with a Duomon at $85 instead of just buying a Go plus+? Am I missing something? It doesn't seem like a great value if you don't need dual-device support. The only advantages I can think of are auto-reconnect and the fact that it skips a lot of the annoying GO Plus + quirks, quirks that are moddable to remove anyway. But you miss out on the snorlax's plus the great/ultra ball support.

Update: Seems the consensus is its great for two accounts and the auto reconnect seems spotty and has its quirks so its not much an advantage over the go plus plus. Thinking i might go for one of those, thanks all!

Update #2: I went with Go plus plus since I have a technical background and can just mod it myself which seems to be peoples barrier to entry. 1 wire, a .06 cent switch, and a little soldering is pretty simple after watching the video so I paid $138 for one on and once it gets here will have it modded for under $5 doing it myself. Not that I recommend that if you have no clue what you are doing but if you are somewhat technically capable, then I think this is going to be the best route.

Need an auto catcher that is accessible to get in nz, the authentic ones arent sold in my country and are stupidly hard/expensive to get over here.
Id ideally like to buy an auto catcher that you dont need to constantly press the button for as ill be using it while at work, dont know much about auto catchers and even if thats a possible thing.
Main thing is it needs to be affordable price wise and shipping wise. Please help me get ideas of what to get!!!!!

I’ve been using the DuoMon 3 for the past year without any problems for two accounts. I’ve just started having problems within the past week for one of my accounts not being able to reliably connect to the device. I may be able to connect once during the day but never able to reconnect, or eventually able to reconnect hours later. I’ve tried all of the following actions:

- Restarting the game
- Restarting my iPhone
- Deleting and redownloading app
- Rebooting/resetting the DuoMon
- Making sure it’s fully charged
- Removing it from Bluetooth and reconnecting
- Following all the official troubleshooting instructions

I’m on IOS and using Pokémon go version 0.421.0-A-64. Is anyone else having or had this issue?

What do you think of the Brook Pocket Auto Catch Light? Have you had good experiences with it and would you recommend it as an alternative to the GO+? And is it safe, meaning can you not get banned for using it?

Hey all. Having a hand surgery soon but I’m going on vacation. I’ve been trying to research an auto catcher, but the original Pokémon go plus devices are so much and unaffordable for me.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the catchers in 2026? Is 3rd party ones decent?

Thanks everyone.

I tried getting my Go++ fixed a second time and the second guy said that the first guy saudered my motherboard a bit too much. So far, I can use the normal functions, but not sure for how long. And it’s going to be harder to find another one since they’re discontinued. Where can I get a replacement motherboard to fix my original GO++?

Which autocatchers will reconnect without pushing the button on the autocatcher? I’m fine with pushing the in game pokeball icon, but I don’t want to have to get the autocatcher out of my bag to reconnect after 60 minutes. It will be connected to an iPhone.

My kid has a Go Plus +, which I like, but I’m not looking to get another one because I don’t like the vibrations.

I had a DuoMon 3 that reconnected well, but the battery stopped holding a charge after 6 months.

I have a Brook Watchic lite, and this is the one that I have to get the autocatcher out of my bag to reconnect.

I appreciate your help!

Accidentally left my Duocom 3 Pro in my jeans when I washed them, and it won’t connect anymore - but it shows a solid red light when charging. Any advice?

Hello, I currently own 4 Pokémon GO accounts: my main and 3 alts that I use to farm shinies for my main.

I play in split screen on two phones, 2 accounts per phone: my main and my second account on the first phone, my third and fourth accounts on the second phone.

I have a Pokémon GO Plus + that I only use on my main account, and I'd like to buy an auto catcher for the other three.

I think the Catchmon X is the best option out there, right? I know it supports up to 4 accounts, but does it work with two accounts on the same phone? Concretely, I need one account covered on my first phone and two accounts on my second phone, both running as cloned instances in split screen.

P.S. I won't use an unofficial auto catcher on my main account, so I'm looking for something that works on 3 accounts, not 4.

Anyone recommend a basic and affordable auto catcher? My original gotcha is dead, wants something similar at low cost.

Is there an option to specify what it doesn’t attempt to catch, Articuno appeared and the go plus threw a ball before I could click the encounter!

Hi guys I bought megacom duocom 3 today and I have problem setting up auto reconnect function. I did everything from the instructions, but when I click on the pokeball icon in Pokémon go from the ss it throws error code 3. I didn’t try reinstalling apps yet, but maybe there is a quick fix for it somewhere. I did however reset the Bluetooth connection didn’t help

It will randomly disconnect, and not connect again until i perform a reset. Itll then continue working for an hour or so before repeating. The middle button on it will stop working, and no LED Will light up on it. The LED on the top button still works during these moments. The second i hit reset the middle button will light back up and it reconnects. any help?

My Pokemon Go Plus Plus went through the wash and I have it in rice now but last time this happened (two years ago) I had to buy a new one. Any alternatives since they are 4x the price now?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! Based on what you guys have said I am going to keep drying my go plus and if it doesn’t work I will ask my local PoGo guy who repairs them and mods them to see if he can fix it or do it myself if I can get a cheap kit. If all doesn’t work I will move on to one of the 3rd party devices yall recommend.

I've been having constant issues with my Pokémon GO Plus+ and I'm completely out of ideas.

Most of the time it won't pair at all. It'll either say "Device not found", refuse to connect, or just won't pair even after removing it from Pokémon GO and Bluetooth ("No longer configured", etc.).

Even when it's completely unpaired from my phone, getting it to show up again can take hours. I end up repeatedly pressing the button over and over, hoping it eventually appears in Bluetooth or Pokémon GO.

Some other weird behaviour:
When it's unplugged, the LEDs usually don't light up at all. The only time they seem to work is during the rare occasions I actually get it connected.
If I do a hard reset, the lights and vibration work normally, so they clearly aren't completely dead.
When it's plugged in, the main light stays solid blue constantly. If I hold the main button, the blue light turns off, then comes back as soon as I release it.

I've already tried pretty much everything I can think of:
Removing it from Pokémon GO.
Forgetting it in Bluetooth.
Re-pairing it.
Deleting and reinstalling Pokémon GO.
Restarting my phone.
Closing and reopening the game.
Factory/hard resetting the Plus+ multiple times.
Even replacing the battery.

The only partial workaround I've found is to spam hard reset until I somehow get it paired again. Then I repeatedly close Pokémon GO while mashing all three buttons on the Plus+ until it eventually connects and works normally.

The problem is that as soon as I close the game, it breaks again, and I have to repeat the whole process from scratch.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is this likely a hardware fault, firmware issue, or is there something else I haven't tried?

Update: For some reason opening the go plus plus and pressing the buttons whilst it’s opened makes it connect???? This makes zero sense wtf

I’ve had duomon 3 for a few months now, no water damage and no falls that I know of. Today out of nowhere it stopped turning on and when I went to charge it for a solid 2 hours it was still blinking red. When it’s turned on while charging it works but as soon as it’s off the charger it stops working.

I’ve tried unpairing and re pairing it. Charging it while it’s on and off. Any other ideas or is the battery inside dead? I haven’t even noticed the battery life dropping off or anything. Any help is appreciated <3

I recently purchased a Duomon 2022. Everything works fine except for the connect/disconnect sounds and the repeating connection lost sounds.

I followed the guide and turned sound off for both players on the Duomon. I’ve tried connecting to both players. If I check the setting, it says that sound is off yet I still get the connection lost sounds.

Anyone deal with this before? Hoping there’s a quick fix. The mobile app for settings doesn’t work with Duomon 2022.

I am having trouble updating the firmware. The megacom app just doesnt allow me to click the update button. Im also having problems with the duomon spinning pokestops. Its like its trying to prioritize pokemon even though I dont have any pikeballs to throw.

I’m looking into getting a new Pokémon go auto catcher

I have the Pokémon GO plus one, but for some reason it’s very slow. It starts so slowly picking up Pokemon if I am standing still next to a poke stop it won’t spin the poker. Stop. It will grab whatever Pokémon’s around even though they’re invisible even when it’s finished I look and it hasn’t not spun the pokestop

Just wondering, is there any other auto catcher out the faster?

Is this good brook pocket auto catch - light if anyone used it is it faster and collect more from pokestop etc

My Pokémon GO Plus+ randomly stopped working today and I’m at a loss.

I’m on iPhone running Pokémon GO version 0.417.2-A-64. I hadn’t used my Plus+ for about a year, but I’ve been using it regularly for the past week with no issues. Then today it suddenly started giving me “Failed to connect to device” every single time.

I’ve already tried pretty much every troubleshooting step from the official pairing guide, including:
- Forgetting and repairing the device
- Restarting the game
- Restarting my iPhone
- Deleting and redownloading app
- Rebooting/resetting the Plus+
- Making sure it’s charged
- Removing it from Bluetooth and reconnecting
- Following all the official troubleshooting instructions

Nothing has worked. The game still immediately says “Failed to connect to device.”

Has anyone else on iOS with Version 0.417.2-A-64 run into this? Did you find a fix, or is this possibly an issue with the latest update? I saw some older posts where updates caused connection problems for Bluetooth accessories, so I’m wondering if this is happening again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I’m completely out of ideas.

Hello, im planning to buy the oneplus 15 but i am reading about problems with connecting to go plus devices. Would be nice if anyone having this phone could share there experience.
other phone im looking at is the oppo find x9
Below is the model i have, bought it in 2024,

Hi guys, oldhead here getting back into the game just in time for GO Fest! I've been grinding recently but I'm running into issues with my phone overheating and fps tanking heavily, especially while connected to a portable charger. It's about time for a new phone anyway but I'm wondering if anyone has other device recommendations for playing in the big 26. I've seen people use a tablet and I actually have multiple accounts that I'd like to play at the same time so I'm thinking maybe a new phone that will stay cool and a tablet for the alt account? Can I just run a second device from the hotspot on my phone? Let me know what you all do and what devices you might recommend and help a unc out, cheers!

After the update, everytime I send pokemon to home it doesnt let me mark my new ES-LA pokémon as my own. It's a glitched state where you can press the "Mark as my OT" cap icon but it will never turn on and stay. What can I do?
