Absolutely worth it, i just turn it on walk around for an hour or so and i catch about 100 mons with out even looking a my phone while i shop, on my way to run errands , ect… i get around 5 shinies and 1 hundo a week
They need to add an option for the vibration, it’s annoying
I agree
Fr if I put in in my car cup holder it sounds like a bee
just watch a video open it and remove the weight or cut the wire like i did
@@xXOtkXxJoyboy true but i don’t trust myself enough
There is lol
I got it for my parents who are both in their 60s and they absolutely love it, especially the auto spin feature for pokestops. They get a shiny at least once a week that they didnt even catch themselves so its definitely worth it🎉
There’s also an exploit with it if you turn it on and riding in a car, Pokémon will still spawn and you can still catch them
That’s what I wondered… how it works when being in a car. It’s going to sit like a garage door opener lol
Only at 25 mph or less....
@@PhatRobsOils if you turn it on when you’re in a car going over 25 mph wait for the nearby spawns to show up and if it doesn’t spawn anything when the nearby shows Pokémon then disconnect it and connect it again then it should work
It’s good for while you’re at work if you have gyms or stops around. I average around 700 regular, 600 great balls and about 300 ultra balls for the 4 days I work. Plus the pokemon it catches. Leaves me with more than enough pokeballs for the weekend for while I’m out catching. I never have to buy any.
i’ll say what every creator forgets to say don’t buy it unless you have a big to medium pokémon storage bc you don’t get a notification when it’s full and you won’t catch anything without you knowing
That is possibly the only reason aside from being burnt out, that I don't really want one.
...I sorta feel like most, if not all of my playtime, if I do buy it, might end up being used only for appraising, transferring and mass evolving stuff... Honestly doesn't feel like much of a game if im not actually playing it.... Instead, "playing" the Pokemon menu.
@@Light1090Yeah I mostly agree they can be handy though if out and about and not able to use your phone. You might be on a bike ride or with family etc you can get items if need without being rude on phone that’s where I’ve sort of found it beneficial
Actually you do. You have to turn your notifications on for Pokémon go in your phone settings. It will tell you when you run out of pokeballs too
On Amazon it's 43 pounds is that a scam cause there was another one with Nintendo for 75 pounds
Mines dose
I found it useful for getting hearts for buddies. 1-2 can change a lot when completing challenges
How does it get hearts??
@@bengarcia1209 you have to play Pokémon Sleep and connect the go plus + to Pokémon Go
You hold the white button then you go to sleep and and if you sleep 8 hours itll guve you 2 anything less than 6 or 7 only one heart@bengarcia1209
It honestly was worth every dollar to have Pikachu sing me twinkle twinkle little star AAAND sleep talk when I push the button in sleep mode 😫😍🤣 so cute
Worth it for passive play, many functionality issues to this day, either way it’s 7.5/10 for me
Button catch and sleep tracking do not seem to work for me, to elaborate
@@TheZeleven How much Poke storage you have?
It's good but you need to open it and solder off the red wire from the vibrating motor.
It's waaaay to strong and annoying.
I keep mine in my pocket, so the vibrations are not a big deal for me!
@@KneeckohGaming i did have it in my pocket to. And it's soooo annoying. Also when I have it my car it makes allot of noice because I keep it in the dashboard.
I'm considering soldering off the speaker to so I can quiet up pikachu 😅🤣
@@SindreEide93Instead of doing that used a dremel to shave off some element to reduce vibrations and used white paint to coat the leds to reduce brightness for night time playing, made it soooooo much better
@@iamliljeffie2305 that's not a bad idea, but I'm not bothered. I don't need or want the vibration at all so I unsolder the wire
@@SindreEide93pikachu voice can be turned off in settings
It’s worth it because once you mod it to auto throw great and ultra you’ll be happy you got it
The bug where it doesn’t catch pokemon is so annoying and it’s been very frequent with me. It starts acting up when I’m driving or in the car.
CAUGHT 8 SHINYS DURING COMMUNITY DAY AND 2 WILD SHINYS WITH THIS DEVICE IVE HAD IT 3 DAYS .
I love mine
So I’ve had mine for two weeks now it’s pulled in over 275,000 Stardust by itself
I turn off the Pokémon catching and when I drive places I get a ton of stops, but the lack of turning off vibration is borderline ignorant. $50 is also way too much.
If you are uncomfortable with modding... my wife crocheted a little... pokeball cover for the plus. It adds a padding for it. It dampens the vibration. And since she put white for the circle of the dusk ball, i can still see the light at night, but not overbearing.
Crochet a jacket that looks like a pokeball for you pogo plus
For me the biggest issue I have with this, is the inability to turn off the vibration motor unless you want to open it up and cut the motor out.
Sure you can then also mod it to automatically throw great and ultra balls, but at that point in my opinion it gets a bit too much trouble.
I will be using my dual catchamon as long as it works, only thing i miss out of is the exclusive research and better balls.
But other than that, i have had no issues with the catchamon but but if it dies then i might just go and get this one.
It's worth more like 25-30 bucks realistically.
I wish it would let you auto throw great and ultra also. Eventually my bag is full of great+ultra after using auto throws for awhile. Having to manually is annoying
Only the fire 🔥 pikachu sleep song is worth €35.
:/
i have the ball already
feels kind of anti-consumer not to update it within the software and allow great/ultra balls like the new one
It’s as simple as they want the money unfortunately
Not really because you can use the ball as a joystick controller and the plus plus can’t so you pick your poison or pay up
Everyone is always bringing up the price point of $55 being the turn off from purchase this/ these peripherals.
I got mine for $25 on launch day by shopping at a store where I was able to use a discount and points earned from past purchases to take more than half the cost off despite fully planning to pay full for the device.
Since then I have caught a number of random shinies and some hundos using said device, The initial price point is pretty steep, but the real issue is getting one before they sell out everywhere (if they haven’t already) especially if Pokémon Go is your primary Pokémon game and you’re constantly playing it to the point of doing pretty much all events.
By the way, the store where I bought my device, was GameStop, and with the amount of game purchases I make a year, I usually have enough points to renew membership without using additional money.
I bought this back when it first came out. It doesnt keep it's sync, requiring you to delete any data and re-sync every time. I still havnt completed the pokemon sleep questline because of this.
Not right now. Seems like there is some bugs with it and not able to use great balls or ultra balls at all.
I use great balls and ultra all the time. If you have auto catch on it only uses pokeballs
I cant use the great balls and ultra balls too…
@@valion3 turn of auto catch
@@KneeckohGaming I was able to auto catch with great and ultra balls the first couple of days. I heard it got patched and we can no longer auto catch with great and ultra balls. This takes a big step back cuz you also can't turn off vibrations and the annoying disco lights
Wrong i have no bugs with mine and i can use both ultra and great. Spins stops while im driving and has caught me a hundo wild nidoking and quite a few shinies.
I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong but my Pokémon go plus plus does not use the great balls or ultraballs. I checked settings and it is set to use them but it refuses to and instead uses my pokeballs. Do you have any idea on how to fix this?
If you have auto catch on it will auto use Pokeballs
@@KneeckohGaming omg Tysm it’s doing it ^^. Sorry for bothering you.
@@fufacat7933 No need to apologize. Happy to help!
I love this thing I play while it's on so I can catch pokemon twice as fast or while I'm raiding it will still spin stops and catch pokemon
Eh, not really. The question is when it works. Things seem to have gotten better recently but sleep mode is a problem. Most of the time it either records 1hr or 3hrs then stops counting because my bed is "too flat of a surface".
It does shut off sleep tracking at midnight I've heard though. Is that still an issue? I got it yesterday and while I don't mind since I fall asleep around then usually anyway, it's an issue for others.
I bought one for my wife and myself and we both love it.
If you do have a switch I still would recomend the pokeball plus, because you can take your pokemons to lvl up and also use it as a controller
Naah that things design is so bad, how are you supposed to carry a ball in your backpocket?
Also the plus + autocatches, you don’t need to press buttons
I think it’s worth it. It’s meh at catching Pokémon. (I’m way better) but it’s a game changer for item collection and spinning stops/gyms
I mean it throws one ball, I don’t think it is meant to be better than an actual player just based on number of balls thrown alone
But is it worth getting this or a off brand one that might catch better I had an off brand one for over a year and it worked great but just died now I need a new one and idk if this one is worth it if I can just spend 30 bucks more and get the same one I had
I’ve had no issues with mine. As someone who makes Pokémon content I try to stray away from breaking ToS so I’ve never used an off brand auto catcher
Mine still does that lag thing, they never fixed it. It’ll just detect the pokemon and not wanna do anything because i have the game open
Just disconnect and reconnect. Fixes it every time for me
I really wish we could get a smart watch app already...there use to be a apple watch knock off version so it's completely possible
I'd even pay $60 for the app idgaf
And the Bluetooth issue is still nit fixed. Bought recently one and it’s still there
Just speaking from Material it's Like 2 Dollars.... Niantic Just doing niantic things
Worth about 20 to 30, nintendo have a habbit of overcharging everything
Does it come with a mew?
Is it an actual pokeball?
Yeah I think I’m gonna skip this one. 😅
Yes it is ever since I bought it❤
i turn it on auto then put in pocket and drive around during my work route. does great
Yeah, I do that on occasion as well
Do you ever have yours connected and it won't work properly? like the video says, it'll mess up and not catch mons, but they didn't fix it. I absolutely love mine, but this is a bummer. I wouldn't undo buying it. I love it.
sometimes it disconnected and i have to restart@@curtisb8557
OK, so here’s the problem. I’m having with Pokemon Go plus plus out of all of my attempts to try to track my sleep. I’ve had this thing for about two weeks now give or take and I’ve only tracked two days asleep. I don’t know how I randomly successfully did that all the other times I’ve tried tracking my sleep. It did not go through, how the hell do I make this thing work correctly
Press and hold before going to bed, press and hold to shut off in the morning
I don’t know why, but for some reason, even if I get like 5 to 7 hours of sleep and even give it extra time and when I turn it off in the morning, it’ll say I always have like an hour and 20 something minutes. It’s never an hour and 30 it’s always one hour and 20 something so it always fall short of the 130 mark I don’t know why that is.
It’s worth it, especially for me because I’ve got carpal tunnel syndrome after I started playing Pokemon go .
Thought this was Joshua Weissman
Yes, both my partner and me have one. Mainly for auto spins and to auto catch on com day.
I can’t seem to get it to auto spin pokestops when the auto catch option is off. Like is it possible to just auto spin and not catch anything ? it’s not working for me
Yes it is possible
I like how my $100 auto catcher catches around 5 pokemon per hour now. Safe to say I will never be playing this game again
My plus + died completely in two months…😅
Oof
Why....? I was thinking of buying one, but not if that happens to me..
@@jeffsmith8842 I think something in it just kind of shook apart and after that, it just couldn’t hold a charge… granted those were the first wave of that product. I have a new one and it’s definitely doing a lot better than the first one.
The vibration gets annoying and it always stops working when yoy dont want it to... Niantic fix your game and accessories please
No its not worth it if you have the ability to solder, coz you can literally use the regular pokemon go plus and solder it to automatically catch stuff like i did, way cheaper and the pokemon go plus is much smaller which i definitely prefer to the pokemon go plus ball thing
So not worth it if you know how to solder and have the same preference as you 👍 I prefer the larger go plus plus (I have both)
I've had the 2016 pokemon go plus but is this a good upgrade auto catcher for a beginner?
Yes
I don’t think it’s worth 55$ imo. But it’s not like bad. Nothing to have an advantage of
In England it’s £50 I bought it
Its useless keeps disconnetting and you have to go check game every 10-30 or so
phone issue
@@Gigi-zr6hp no. I try other phone
Quick question. I am thinking of buying it, but when i go on vacation i wont always have 4g/ wifi connection. Is that necessary for it to work?
If you don’t have connection, Pokémon go can’t run
@@KneeckohGaming makes sense. Thanks!
My only issues are the vibration and the long ass sleep noise.
If ur talking about the lullaby u can actually turn that off.
It’s very much worth it. I love it. Caught a few shinies with it within the first week of having it. Only thing that sucks is that the vibration will wake the dead 😭
Kinda late to this but i returned the stupid thing. Its super loud and the light is annoying and can't be shut off. Its so bad.
I had one that stopped working. I have purchased 3 more and none will connect! 😭
Yes
does it work raids and is it 100% catch guaranteed?
No and no
Is the night cap snorlax shiny boosted and if it isn’t can you wait to an event where snorlax is shiny boosted to get a better chance?
No not boosted and no idea tbh
I like the idea of not having to play to catch pokemon but then whats the point? The battle system is trash and pokemon go isnt that fun. Catching pokemon doesnt mean shit if they are worthless. If they had unlimited transfers to home it would be more valuable
It sounds more to me like you just don't like Pokemon GO
@KneeckohGaming you are right but I still play everyday 🤣🤣
They need and option wherre is deletes 2 and 1 star’s
Is there a different auto catcher that you recommend?
No. I only use the ones licensed by Pokémon to not break TOS
No not really unless u are at work all the time or need buddy hearts
I love mine
Me too
Legit but definitely gotta learn to use it in the right scenarios
Best i'll do is 10 bucks!
How can I use this without being on the app my keeps disconnecting when I get out of the app
You have to leave the app running. It doesn’t have to be open on your phone, but it needs to be running in the background
Ultra ball cannot auto catch, need press bitton
Can it still autocatch and autospin while driving a car? If so, is it as well as doing that while at walking speed? Because mine doesn't auto spin pokestop at all at driving speed
yes i can
Question what to do if it keeps vibrating green and dosent let you catch sit can’t say the word bc it’s a bad word but I think you know what I mean
In short. Yes.
I got mine 2 days early yayaya today yaya
I've had one for about a week and so far I don't like it, it barely catches anything cause pokemon seem to be scripted to break out of the first ball for me or something
It only throws one ball at every Pokémon.
@KneeckohGaming exactly, and as I said the game appears scripted for pokemon to always break out of my first ball, it always takes at least 2 balls for me to catch something
Is it worth it if I only use it for Pokémon Sleep?
It was 64.99 EUROS over here .....
It is pricey, but I think it is worth while. I use mine daily
79.99 CAD for me, not a chance in hell a snorlax with a hat is worth that
@@justincadieux1535 for me its because i miss most events on sundays because i work every weekend . So i try to catch afk at work
@@KneeckohGaming had it for 4 days . Its really useful and quite cool . But mostly low cp pokemon and alot run away . But its better than not catching any!
Is there a fire hazard that goes along with it?
No
Does it do battles ?
No
no but it was worth the $54 I paid
I wish it was 55. I paid 90 for it in canada
It’s wayyy more in Sydney
Dows anyone know how long ot stays connected ?
I’m not sure what this is asking
It’s stay connected until it dies but even then it also shows your battery percentage on the pokeball + icon if you live near a area where there’s an active Pokémon stop like i do i leave my app running in the back the pokeball + and i let it catch Pokémon also disabled the auto catch feature so it can use great and ultra balls to increase catch accuracy hope this helps
Can it catch wild shiny Pokémon?
Yes
@@KneeckohGaming just bought one and got shiny croagunk within 30 mins :)
@@Drewbidew nice!
Does it catch when the app is closed and spin the stops?
The app has to be running in the background at least
How to buy it in INDIA ??
wdym it lets u auto catch thats the whole point of it?
That older ones don’t
My plus plus is not counting my great ball and auto ball catches. Do I have to uninstall the app? I will end up losing my 7 days sleep and poke stop spin
You can only auto catch with poke balls
@KneeckohGaming I am referring to pokemon go plus plus device. It gives you option for great and ultra auto catching. I deleted all my red poke balls using only the great and ultra. The device catches the pokemon using the great balls. It just doesn't register it for my task
@@sugarsugar7072 Because you have to auto catch, which can only be done with Pokeballs on the device. You can catch with Ultra and Great balls but you have to hit the button. Auto catching only works if you have Pokeballs
Is that a birthday shiny charizard
I thought this was the one that went with Pokémon let’s go so I got it
This would have actually been great for me to have a year ago. I'm just really burnt out of the game for now... though tbh, I mainly use it to fill pokedex entries in other games.
Fair enough
Plus+??
Caught 7. Shinys so far 5 in one day I got 5 shiny slowpoke with the hat 😂😂😂
Nice!
Almost 100 bucks for it, you need to calm down bro 💀
That varies by location.
Pays for itself
Sounds like a No. Not worth $55
Does the plus plus have Mew?
no
Is Pokémon go plus + worth for Pokémon sleep?
I'd say yes. You don't have to leave your phone on all night if you have it for Pokemon Sleep.
Honestly no I’ve heard tons of stories of ppl pressing there Pokémon go ++ during sleep by accident and it stops tracking sleep but I just got my go ++ so I will see
@@kedd1e let me know how it goes please!!!!
@@kedd1e I've never had mine turn off while sleeping
damn they really milking your wallet like that
who has the og pokemon go plus not the plus plus
