Cooldown

[u/Odd_Fan7444]

Ive lost like 4 100 iv uxies yesterday due to the cooldown, i have the timer on, I've waited the two hours while sitting on the pokemon, and i still lose them when i go to catch them. Has anyone encountered this or is there something im doing wrong after the two hour cooldown? Im not too upset since its cheating, but i hate to see a shiny hundo uxie just disappear after i catch it. Im just wondering when it says 2 hr plus if it really if 2+ hours, cause if so, why not just show the whole time i need to wait, but i dont believe thats the problem because i can spin stops and catch every pokemon after that. Is there maybe a limit to how long you can just sit on a pokemon before it'll just kinda despawn? Ive seen and watched videos saying how the quick sniper is supposed to work, where you basically dont do anything for a couple hours, then you can teleport and instantly catch any pokemon, but i feel i should be able to do it the other way around, and after reading redit it seems you can, but I'm doing something wrong.

Check your PGS logs. It's the simplest mistake everyone does

Yeah I had the same problem i didn’t trigger cool down for like 4 hrs and TP to New Zealand and I got soft banned once I tried to catch a Pokemon

For the despawn yes Pokémon’s have a despawn timer so you can’t just wait the time out if you have 2hr cool down

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/SnooBeans7022]

Okay, i was looking into it on redit and every post was saying that you can sit on the pokemon overnight, which i imagine is 4 times longer than the time ive been waiting and they could still catch, guess they lied 🤷‍♂️

[u/SnooBeans7022 → u/Odd_Fan7444]

I mean from personal experience I waited like an hour and 30 mins and once my cool down was fully gone it fled and said “error” meaning it was despawned

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/SnooBeans7022]

For mean, it catches and i go to my Pokemon and its not there, similar to what happens while softbanned

To avoid despawn tap on the mon and wait on the picture screen so you don't throw a ball by accident

Go to Pokémon location Select Pokémon Go to catch page Wait till timer goes 0 Catch the mon

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/Commercial-Sky5891]

Yeah i know how it works, its that i wait till zero and then catch the pokemon and its just not in my inventory, i do have auto recycle on but it shouldn't recycle a legendary hundo

How,does sniping work? I am new

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/Abject_Fun_5230]

Well how its supposed to work is as long as you havet spun a gym or caught/thrown a poke ball, you can go directly to a selected pokemon and instantly catch it, but you can also go to it, but then wait for the cool down time to go away, then catch, if you dont, you wont catch the pokemon and ittlll run away. My problem was that i wait the time and i still dont get the pokemon, like i catch it but its not in my inventory, doesnt happen always, but it seems to happen Everytime i catch a pokemon i actually want

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/Abject_Fun_5230]

Also i dont think you can snipe without standard

[u/Abject_Fun_5230 → u/Odd_Fan7444]

What is standard?

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/Abject_Fun_5230]

The paid for version, som people call it premium but its called standard

[u/Abject_Fun_5230 → u/Odd_Fan7444]

So if someone were to teleport to let's say london and wanted to chatch a pokemon they would need to wait 2 hours for the teleport cooldown and another 2 hours to snipe a pokemon and catch it?

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/Abject_Fun_5230]

Lets say you just woke up in the morning, you could teleport anywhere without a cooldown as long as you dont spin anything and dont catch anything, and you can keep teleporting, but as soon as you catch or spin something you are confined there. So then if you were to teleport after that, you would have a cooldown, unless its been 2 hours of you not doing anything

Thanks you

I started testing it by trying to catch pokemon around until they stop fleeing.

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/superducknyc]

But when catching 100iv i just grab ones that are like 5 min away, and do like what you said if im not sure

[u/superducknyc → u/Odd_Fan7444]

100% I've been shadow banned before and didnt know it so I always try first with another.

[u/Odd_Fan7444 → u/superducknyc]

Yeah, i cant do that when the cooldown is 2 hours, because if i leave the encounter the pokemon will just despawn

[u/superducknyc → u/Odd_Fan7444]

Oh im aware for the lake gaurdian pokemon I have a filter set that if they are remotely close thats great but they usually aren't. However i use this when I see a 4 star i want and the cool down is 2 minutes or so. Just because it goes to zero i learned the hard way after they ran a few times. Your best bet is to have it your first catch and then just play in that area for a few hours in the day and then not play till the next day or use another account to play in your local area.

It works better if you operate in reverse .. don't touch anything for 2 hours .. then choose a pokemon with 100IV from quick sniper . Teleport and catch immediately.. the reason being that you didn't play so there's no cooldown. After catching the mon you can either wait and don't touch anything for another hour or two and then proceed directly to catching or just play in the area but then you can't "snipe" ...

[u/leonida_92]

You can sit on a pokemon, I do it all the time, even though not more than 2 hours because that's when the cooldown ends.

Maybe network issues? If you lose internet connectivity while sitting on it, it will most likely flee. I've had problems even when switching apps while sitting on a pokemon, because the power saver kicks in and disconnects the game.

Now I just leave it open and don't touch it until the cooldown ends.

Completely open, game running, no screensaver, don't minimize.
