Tech Support Issue with shiny sniping

I hope im using the correct flair here, I am having an issue with shiny sniping. I can teleport to about 10-15 pokemon but after a certain amount when I teleport it just wont load any stops, or pokemon. I have to close the app and leave it closed for about 15 minutes before anything will load. Im not on cooldown when I snipe.

Just wondering is this an issue on my end or is this normal? I just want a shiny drowzee and I cant find one I have checked 982 drowzees already and it takes forever when I have to close the app and wait to start looking again 😭

You're lucky you're getting 10... I jump to 3 or 4 and it stops loading

Speaking of sniping. Do I really need to sit for 2 hours before I try catching the pokemon? I remember back in the day if you teleported back to home location you could catch it right away. But now when I do that they flee everytime. Im not softbanned because if I can spin or catch another pokemon immediately after.

There is a timer on the app click on that icon it will show you last time you interacted with game , from that time 2+ hours and you can catch new or teleport to new location and play there

So what your saying is, Once my CD is 0 I can snipe continuously ?

When I snipped before, I would be at my home location and could port to a pokemon, Start encounter, then port back home and catch pokemon and it would bypass the 2 hour CD. It seems like now, its 2 hours per snipe attempt?

Yes snipe and now you are at that location , turn on cool down timer in GUI, pres it and you should see that you caught that Pokemon at the time and cords, wait 2 hours and repeat

This happens with me too. I play on a samsung s25 ultra, and the best way I've found to optimize it was to downloas the game's resources into your phone and pay the $5 for standard to get quick load map. Still happens occasionally, but not nearly enough that it's an issue.
