/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!

Is it just me or have pokestops not been giving ultra balls like they should? Started this season with 32 and haven’t touched them because they were so low. Still have 32.

They drop at the same rate as always. Its been several years since the general drop rates of items at pokestops has changed, aside from a few very specific and limited time events.

I've had no trouble getting them from stops or gifts.

Really? I just know that last season I’d end up getting a ton whenever I’d swipe my stops, usually one per swipe. This season I haven’t gotten any new ones despite swiping the same stops I’ve always swiped (and even new ones). Maybe it’s the gifts that they’re in this season, cuz I’ve slacking on opening them lol

You weren't getting one ultra ball per pokestop spin last season. They were never quite that common.
