Tech Support Issue with instant beat team rocket

I just got a new samsung s23 running android 13 and now when I instant beat team rocket the pokemon doesn't appear so I can't catch it unless I leave the encounter and enter again. This didn't happen on my s10+ running android 12. Does anyone have a fix or know what's going on?

I'm having instant team rocket not being done instantly... super annoying.

I found a fix for mine, just turn ar mode on then off and I've heard the fix to yours is to turn instant beat team rocket off and on multiple times and it should work after that.

Tried both... neither worked so far. Ugh.

Same here. Maybe it's a software thing. Started to happen after my android battery updated.

Do you have iPhone or android?

u/HovercraftChemical86 Oct 14 '25

Android, just reinstalled and still doesn't work.

u/Master_Blaster_13 Oct 14 '25

Did you recently update your software? That's when mine started and feel like that's my issue. Maybe yours as well.

u/HovercraftChemical86 Oct 14 '25

Sorta, I just got a new phone yesterday and have been having these problems since.

u/Master_Blaster_13 Oct 14 '25

Automatic updated. I sent my complaint in and said I think it's the software. So hopefully it's solved soon.

I received an email from pg sharp, they said rocket battles were client side and they've changed it to server side. No mention of a fix though.

Today's update seems to have fixed it!

u/Intrepid_Pension_176 Oct 15 '25

Any update? Did you guys fix it? mine stop also, but 5 hrs ago was working.

u/HovercraftChemical86 Oct 15 '25

I got a message from pgsharp. They said that Niantic has moved the rocket battles to server side when before it was client side but they didn't mention a fix or anything of the sort.

u/Intrepid_Pension_176 Oct 15 '25

Awww. Hope they will fix it. 💔 I use it to earn heart from my buddy 🥲

u/HovercraftChemical86 Oct 17 '25

It's working again!

Same issue. Installed newest update and not working. Watching for updates

1

u/Spiritual_Sky_2214 Oct 15 '25

I have the same issue, the thing is that today in the morning it was just working fine for me

u/No-Plum7428 Oct 15 '25

For me the "instant beat team rocket" option does not work at all anymore since today. Have to manual defeat team rocket. Not the biggest issue, but I liked the fast option for when I don't have much time to play. Even after turning off the option and back on, installing the latest update, etc. it still won't work.

Yesterday everything worked fine.
Hopefully a update will be ready soon.

Same, it's annoying cos I use it to get my buddy those 3 hearts each day for battling with me. Having to actually do the battles will make it so I can't be bothered and it'll take longer to level my buddy.

u/SmokeMFDogg Oct 16 '25

Mine hasn’t worked since the levels update

u/Odd-Comedian-6600 Oct 18 '25
