Pokemon GO trainers also still suggest using Ingress to help find Pokemon GO stops and gyms and finding spawn points. The position on the nearby pane also appears to be arbitrary and not necessarily suggesting which one is actually closest to you.

Other tips suggested by Redditors include restarting the app in order to get Pokemon to despawn, so you aren’t just seeing old Pokemon on your “nearby” pane. With this correct nearby list it's possible to get a general sense of direction to where the pokémon is. The key is to keep restarting the app to get a correct nearby list.

They may still show Pokestops and gyms, but they aren’t showing Pokemon.Īccording to a thread for Pokemon GO developers on Reddit, the problem may stem from Niantic’s increasing a minimum delay between map requested, upped from five seconds to 10 seconds. It appears that all scanner and tracker apps, including PokeFinder, PokeMesh, Pokemon GO Live Map, PokeScanner, Smart Poke, PokeAlert, and more are now disabled.
