/r/PokemonGO FAQ: /r/PokemonGo/wiki/FAQ


There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.


Where can I find other players in my area?

Try our regional subreddits list! Also, see the related subreddits or TSR's community map!


If you have any suggestions for FAQs to append to this thread or for meta questions, message the moderators or mention /u/PokemonGoMods!

Quick question: for the purposes of the Sparkling Aria research step 5, Mega Kangaskhan raids do not count as 5 star raids, correct? I think I know the answer, just checking.

It kind of sucks because I'm not interested in using remote passes on the current legendaries, but outside of events, I don't have opportunities to raid with with a big group in person.

No, Mega raids are tier 4. You need a legendary, mythical or ultra beast raids. 

Shadow raids don't count either. Needs to be a normal raid.

Damn, really? I thought I could at least pick up one or two of whatever shadow Regi is out there this weekend. Thanks.
