Pokemon GO Players Advised to Factory Reset Pokemon GO Plus + for Better Gameplay Experience

Trainers, the Pokemon GO Plus + issues are becoming increasingly problematic. Numerous players have reported that the device is not functioning correctly, failing to catch Pokemon and spin PokeStops. Moreover, connectivity problems have added to the frustrations, leading Niantic and Pokemon GO to advise players to perform a factory reset on their Pokemon GO Plus +.

The Pokemon GO Plus + is a highly anticipated device that allows players to automatically spin PokeStops and catch Pokemon using Poke Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. While this feature should revolutionize the gameplay experience, a multitude of bugs have dampened the excitement.

Upon the initial release of the Pokemon GO Plus +, players were thrilled to try out the new auto-catcher. However, with the launch of update v0.277.0, everything took a turn for the worse. This update brought along a host of unforeseen issues, prompting the developers to respond with another update, v0.277.1, which, unfortunately, broke the automatic functionalities of the Pokemon GO Plus + device.

As players encountered problems with the Pokemon GO Plus +, many turned to Niantic for support. In response, Niantic Support has advised users to perform a factory reset on their devices to resolve the issues effectively.
