My favorite thing to do:
Turn off Pokéball auto throw.
Turn off Pokémon identification.
TURN ON enable Poke-Stop auto-spin.
TURN ON enable Poke-Stop identification.
Now you can manually catch Pokémon while gettingevery stop without swiping on your device!!! You Your item bag will get full without you knowing it. It’s AMAZING!
I might just do that when I finally get one
Ever heard of a duomon auto catcher 😂🤣?
So you mean your fav thing to do is get it to spin stops, not catch Pokémon? What a weird, long winded way of explaining that…
I was thinking of this last night and how I might get a + plus so that I can get pokestops while I manual catch cuz I like manual catching
Honestly speaking as someone that’s never owned any type of auto catcher I’m pretty pleased with the go+ plus. It’s crazy not having to open my phone to play lol one thing I wish someone would make is either a sticker to cover red part or a sleeve that changed what kind of poke ball it is. Like a way to customize it
Check out some of the cases they have, they're releasing some pretty cool ones
i wish there was an option for Great ball or Ultra auto catcher not just poke ball
I only started playing in March 2020 and couldn’t get hold of a go plus anywhere, so ended up with a Gotcha evolve. I love the evolve as it goes on the wrist and, until recently, it worked really well. Downside of it, not waterproof. The watch display disappeared around a year ago but it still works!
I have the go plus + as I always wanted an official product. It came out a week later for us so only had it since Friday. I was so glad of CZcamsrs showing how to use it as mine didn’t come with any instructions whatsoever! I’d say the main downside of it is the vibration, I’m not so keen on that at all. The evolve you can turn that off at least. I’ll play with the plus + till I finish the tasks then decide from there if I’ll continue on with it. I do like that you can reconnect it on the game screen as well. Thanks for the honest review.
Ive opened mine and just took the weight off. Stopped the vibration completely.
i wasnt a fan at first. then i removed the vibration motor because it really annoyed me. now i'm very happy with it lol
Finally the comparison I have been looking for all these days
Lol same, still debating sticking with the ball or upgrading to the plus plus
Great video!!! I really appreciate the info, I have never tried the ball plus, just the original and now the plus plus.
Just bought this, I can not wait!
It's just charging now, I never got the first pokemon go plus when it came out as I didn't see the need but I went for it this time as I can catch even more pokemon and spin even more stops!!
Let's go!
Thank you for the comparision. I think the Plus + is great for people who never had an "auto" catcher before, but I have a Ball Plus and am perfectly happy with it. Would be nice to pick up the Plus + someday to get the sleeping Snorlax, then pass it around to others so they can get it to.
But it cant auto catch :( i have one too
@@AforshortttIf you 3d Print a housing for it, or buy one someone 3d printed, it can hold the button and auto catch for you.
I’ve got all 3 official. Band one would be good when walking not in pockets, go plus good when driving (set up before I leave - main catching/spinning) plus plus cause I’m a sucker. Plus plus would be good if it could auto catch like others. I have a cable tie on mine. Good video bt.
I have all three. I didn't use the plus much, but it was useful the few times that I used it. I adore the ball, it was great. The only downside was running out of regular balls. I started using the plus plus and I'm happy that I can finally use great/ultra balls (had to discard them to make space). As expected, I'm sad that I can't do auto catch using those balls.
theres an easy glitch to be able to use ultra and great balls to auto catch. All you do is turnh on autocatch, catch a pokemon, then turn it off and switch to whatever ball u wanna use. sounds easy and works
@@vortical4866is it patched?
Yea it’s patched
@@vortical4866congrats, you told people how do a glitch that got patched days ago, lmfao jfc
The Go Plus works great. Does what it is supposed to do 99.9% of the time. I use it while on the go, so I’m fine with it using up regular balls, but honestly it is mostly used to spin the stops in my town. When my phone is out and I’m actively playing, I typically use great balls for the Pokémon that I actually want to catch. I have a small hair tie that is double wrapped to hold the button down and to function as an auto catcher. Easy. The vibration is a little annoying, but it is a good reminder to me that it is still on and functioning.
I refuse to purchase a new $60 (including tax) device that will barely perform better than what I currently have.
I’ve got them all, but was using a gotcha evolve everyday. But with the plus+ I decided to give it a shot. It’s working well and can fit in my pocket. So, I’ll keep using it unless I can’t put it in a pocket. Then it’s back to the gotcha. Can’t use the ball. It’s too big and bulky to go in a pocket or carry around at work. 😂
i am hopping on some updates in the future for the device. if i have it on auto catch and i run out of normal balls than even when i press the button for a great ball it does not throw it unless i turn auto catch off. and i think it could be sped up a bit to. and please when i turn auto pokestop spin off, make it so that it stops selecting pokestops and just focus on catching
My question, I have the 1st go plus from years ago. Is it worth buying this if I own that 1 and it still works?
Thanks for this
I work at a retail store located inside a mall, and I work right where I can reach 4 pokestops and 1 gym without moving too much. I keep the ++ in my pocket and I get a HUGE supply of pokeballs and berries I love it! I can easily get 400+ items in a day of work! I'm totally loving my ++ Luckily our store plays music so you can't even hear the vibrating. Definitely a worthwhile investment for me :)
I accidently jumped into a lake with the new Go Plus Plus in my pocket. I quickly got back out and shortly after that went home, opend up the go plus plus and let it dry. It lost all its energy but after charging up it works without a flaw.
OMG, Is it still working bro, after 9 monthes???
@@ManojitSen Its working perfectly fine
@@ManojitSen Salt water is way more Dangerous but a short exposure to normal Lake water is Not that Bad If you dry it right after.
@@bomfio601 Thanks for replying, Bro...I always, use Silicon Gel in my Go Plus+ Box... Isn't it a good idea???
@@ManojitSen I have no Idea. But i guess it would keep the water Out.
But why would you need it? Are you planing to Play Pokemon Go while swimming 😂
so what settings do you actually use on the go plus +?
only auto-spi or both, autp-spin and auto-catch?
Honestly i love my go ++ had it 3 days caught 5 shiny,1 hundo,1 nundo and has been perfect for speed for catching and spinning and for it being almost half the price of gotcha/other brands (canadian dollar cuz shipping from usa) and the pokeball plus which is super inflated cuz not manufactured
Thank you bro! I’m a new pogo creator and hope we meet in London! You’re content in very informative and refreshing 💜
See you in London Alex🙂
@@BrandonTan91 you most certainly will bro!
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for great content keep the great work up
I constantly have to reset and repair my plus+ so not super thrilled with that aspect since repairing wipes your sleep data and I have no other option, but when it is working the auto catch and spin is great
I can access 3 Pokestop and 1 gym from my living room, after completig the special research task, I will probably enable auto spin stops and Auto throw,whole night so it can catch continoiusly while I am asleep...Mine is on the way and arrive by tommorow morning...💙❤💛
i bought mine, but i wished i had both the pokemon go plus + and pokeball plus... It helped me alert me that I incensed a galarian moltres (which i didnt have), and even tho it didn't track my sleep well, i love it! Also, do u know of anything to clip the button down so i can spin n catch pokemon without needing to press the button continuously? Thanks for yr review brandon!
Which helped you with the incense for them because the plus plus doesn't do insence I thought
@@ScoobyShotU my plus plus does catch from insence.
For anyone curious about the catcher clip... I found some good ones on etsy just now.
Hi, holding down the button doesn't work on the Go Plus + but maybe in the future, there might be an update that could allow us to do it🙂
This whole video and analysis is absolutely fantastic… and still.. I‘m a simple man, the friend washing his ball(s) in the washing machine made me chuckle 😂😂😂
Thanks for your review
I live in an area where there is not a high density of pokestops or pokemon really anywhere in a 10 mile radius, and I like to run, so the Plus+ works great for me. It's fast enough to catch most things when I'm running, biking, or driving a car. When I'm playing myself, I use my Great and Ultra balls, when I'm out running or in the car, I let it catch for me and use my red balls. The third party auto-catchers are probably better, but if they find a way to detect them, I really don't want to get my account banned. So, it's not super expensive and it works well for my use-case.
Does anyone know if the device moves on to the next ball once you’re on lets say Ultra ball if you run out does it auto go to great/regular balls or does it wait for you to re collect Ultra balls? 👀
I’ve found with the Go Plus + that if you want it to spin stops only it’ll get stuck wanting to throw better poke balls so it won’t spin stops until you throw a better ball
I’ve also noticed that if there are too many options/ if I’m also playing while the Go Plus + is active it just stops working
You’re doing something wrong then. Have had neither of these issues, it sounds like you have incorrect settings
@@watchingvidz5060 this is exactly what i experienced too.
The first one is very easy to reproduce. Spin gyms in the area by hand. throw away the pokeballs and have it on autocatch.
It will select a pokemon to catch manually and as long as that pokemon is there it won't spin the gyms as it is locked to that pokemon.
Second problem i have not found a way to reliably reproduce, but i think it has something to do with manually catching a pokemon while the autocatcher does it.
the one thing that would make the plus plus 10x better is to allow us to turn off the vibration. than I would use it even more. i can't use the plus plus at work cause the vibration is just too "loud"
Yes, you’re very right but vibration is way too loud. I wish you could turn it off, but I was using it most of yesterday and it worked very well. If you want to get a decent amount of Stardust it’s a good way to do it because it will catch a lot of Pokémon for you While you’re walking
@@tweedybird21 I used a 3rd party gotcha for years. now, niantic did what niantic does best and disabled all 3rd party devices. mine stopped working. so, i bought the plus +. hate the vibration. terrible.
I cut the cable (red cable) form the motor snd now I love my go+
I like it but some bugs gotta be ironed out. Not sure why it gets disconnected easily. Although it is easy to reconnect.
i already got mine it’s amazing
I dont agree to player said its cheating device, because hand catch 8x faster, more exp bonus for curve ball, and can use berry
i only wanted it for the snorlax research. probably wouldnt be worth 50$, but that would be a pretty rare shiny if i got it.
Hello, I would like to know where can I get your poke ball plus auto catch case?
Consider that the plus plus has been out for a few days only while the others been out for years. There's alot of room for updates and improvements for the plus plus.
The plus plus is already my favorite device so far.
How are you going to play gofest with the constant vibration draining the battery life out of the go plus plus? Also it doesn't work when u only want to spin stops and or catch pokemon. My watchic plus is far better. We shall see what niantic does in the future.
@@AcidWaves80the vibrations drains so much battery. During events where the device is constantly vibrating, the battery only last 6 hrs. Not being able to auto throw great and ultra balls is super dumb. There’s no option to switch to other Pokémon or something like that so the fact that you need to click the button just makes that feature pointless. I’m still considering returning my go plus plus and just buying a gotcha or something
@@alphaeverwing1118 i have a Gotcha, it works sporadically. I just pulled it out of a drawer after a few weeks and see it is still charged up. I think it needs a really good connection and my “recliner connection” may be too weak. Will try it again as I’m working on the “catch 5,000 pokemon challenge.
If you can get one.
@@AcidWaves80The battery life on the thing is actually really good in my opinion. I have the plus+ in my pocket majority of the time and dont mind the vibration or pushing the button for great/ultras but i do plan on modding my plus+
Can we get an update on your opinion on the plus+? I noticed you’ve been using it more then the poke ball plus
Bro for the longest I kept thinking he said “ball blast”, it wasn’t till the end of the video I understood he said “plus plus” haha😂😂. I recently purchase one, can’t wait to use it
😂
Do you think the spotlight hour on tuesday is worth playing? Because its only yungoos
I mean if you don't have a shiny Yungoos, you can try and get one. But if you're asking if it's a great Pokemon, don't bother about it😅
I hope there's a chance they provide an option for us to disable vibration for ++
You can open the casing and disconnect the wire to the rattle motor. It won’t vibrate after that.
I can confirm the 4 hour 0 minutes if used on a flat service (outside my bedroom on my desk). When used next to my pillow on my matras it clocks close to real sleep time.
I like my Pokeball Plus better than the Go Plus + which I have no interest in buying as Pokemon Sleep isn't as fun as Pokemon Go.
I bought my Pokeball Plus at Target on clearance a few years ago for $25. I haven't used it in Pokemon Go yet but I'm going to try it today with my event Victini from Pokemon Sword for extra luck. I mainly just used it for Lets Go Pikachu up until now.
“Imma give you all my 2 pokecoin” got me 💀
When I opened the original Plus I saw a water seal gasket but I can’t say for certain about the Ball & Plus+
No gasket. Disabling the vibrationmotor and dimming the LED's with a black pen, definitely improves usability. Out of the box, it's very noisy and flashing.
What is that device you have on the Pokeball Plus? I need one of those!
It's a 3D printed case for the ball plus🙂
Do i need adventure sync? Every time i connect the pgp+ it tells me to turn on AS
Where can i get the case for pokeball that helps the button to be clicked every time? How does it called? Or is is handmade/3d printed?
Amazon
I just Googled "pokeball plus button 3d print" and found some, I couldn't find the exact one he's got but I'm sure it's somewhere in those results
Yes, it is 3D printed. I got it from my friend but I think it is available online
I had mine up until yesterday when my wife put it through the washer. You’re 100% right it died immediately. Been sitting in rice for 2 days and still not working.
Please bt91 can u make a video to explain what is the difference between normal, tryhard and hardcore player
Do you need to use Pokemon Sleep app for sleep tracking?
From testing, my gotcha does a better job at scanning pokestops than the plus plus does, when driving. Driving the same route testing both devices, the gotcha got 72 stops, where as the plus plus only got 48. I even drove a little slower for the plus plus. Rather disappointed with that
Gotcha catches and spins faster
@@BrandonTan91pokemon needs to stop lacking how they let a 3rd party gadget be more a efficient than their own product 😂
Which gotcha?
As I was watching this video I decided to buy the pokeball, I think it looks the nicest. I ended up buying the let’s go Eevee brand new with the pokeball included. The pokeball just buy itself was actually more expensive 😅 unreal lol
So Gotcha is still king? Lmao. Well done, Niantic.
It’s a Nintendo product. Not niantic.
@@mauroponce3739 right, but niantic still had to integrate it into their game
My opinion I’ve used them all and the gotcha is 2nd
This is his opinion, it's not fact. The overall amount of functions make this product superior to the Gotcha imo. It does everything the Gotcha does but more functions.
@kidbu916 It has the potential to be better, but having to manually press every time for great and ultras sucks and was misleading in the advertising. It also takes way longer to catch a single mon. Also, there's no way to turn the ANNOYING AS HELL vibration off, so it's just not fun to use imo
I don't fancy spending £50-60 for a night cap Snorlax. If they made the ++ more efficient and also allowed auto catching with 'selected' ball in the menu, it would be a fantastic product apart from the potential durability. I still have my Go Plus from 2017/18 and it works fine. I also bought a Trainer Club Gotcha but the battery didn't last more than 8 months and it doesn't work anymore. Sadge.
Yeah honestly the snorlax was disappointing after hearing the previous one gave a mew :C
Wish it gave a chance for a caught pokemon to have the sleeping hat even if made rarer than a shiny 100%IV.
if your bag gets full you stop catching right?
idk the fact that they released this but didnt fix the go plus glitches is nuts i bought one and it wont even spin stops due to glitchs
I modded my go+ plus to auto throw great and ultra poke balls. It makes the greatest difference compared to having to constantly pressing the button
I love my pokeball + turned auto....I will use it until it stops working. Then I may consider Plus +.
Don't care about snorlax, don't want to track my sleep and I don't want to press it 😅.
The 4 hour thing is weird. I feel like it's normal to leave it on a bedside table or something while you sleep rather than physically in bed with you. That is very random. Thanks for the great video.
Yea the 4hr info was very informative to know
I like to coddle mine and pretend its my significant other and kiss niantic goodnight
Agree💯
It’s not weird at all, I’m surprised it’s as high as 4hrs, if you’re not moving, you’re not sleeping, devs are not stupid. It’s built in to stop people trying to game the system.
I want one of these autocatchers simply to just spin stops while im driving
I’ll tell you which one to save time it’s the one you can currently buy for retail price without the price being marketed up due to it being discontinued
I can't buy plus plus for retail price. They were all gone before they dropped in Australia.
They want $150 for the plus plus if you can find it
I still have mine…the original one
Does anyone else have to press the reset button quite often on the Pokemon Go Plus +? Mine often soft locks and doesn't light up at all when I press the main button, and I have to press reset button to get it working properly again.
May I know how long it will be fully charged? I was charging it yesterday, but after 4 hours, it only turns yellow and not even green.
According to the user manual, it say 4.5hrs. I can't guarantee on this yet because I've only done 1 full charge so far and I did not take note of the time😅
@@BrandonTan91 Thanks, Brandon!
I tried to Go Plus + a Galarian Zapdos from daily incense using an ultra ball but it did not work HAHA so very sad.
Does Pokemon Go Plus+ autospin unknown pokestops like gotcha?
Yes
does the pokemon ball plus come with a quest? I know plus + does...
Idk if you already know the answer, but i have pokeball plus, there is no quest.
For anyone curious about the catcher clip... I found some good ones on etsy just now.
For the ball plus or plus plus?
@@Nodizzle97 for the plus.
@@Nodizzle97 they come in all different ball colors and types. Even team rocket themed. Its basically a 3D printed case.
@@We_Are_All_Vultures I have for the ball plus. I thought you were talking about the one they just released.
It's a device refresh gimmick for pokemon sleep. Waiting for Brooks or code junkies to come out with a clone.
Why is there back to back community days for squirtle? I think I missed something
Those who are using Pokemon Trainer Club ID had log in issues during the Squirtle Comm Day Classic, hence there was a make up event
Why does his adventure sync always pop up like that?
I Love your vids
i bought the plus+ at GAMESTOP
Pretty weird that they can track ur sleeping to but it’s 2023 couldn’t expect less :/
Hi Brandon, can you kindly share where did you buy the auto catcher for your Ball Plus?
For anyone curious about the catcher clip... I found some good ones on etsy just now.
Oh it was given to me by my friend. But you can check online if it's available. It's a 3D printed case
@@We_Are_All_Vultures thank you very much. Shall check on it
@@BrandonTan91 thank you for your reply. I’ll search for it online.
it was perfect today during the Squirtle make-up com-day. i was just spinning the stops myself while i let the plus + catch. i just had to claim the task and spin the stops the go plus + did the rest. last time i got 3 shiny Squirtle squad shinny's. this time i got 9
Just wait for gotcha plus plus
Can you give tips how to become good
Do u suggest us to buy it?
Not really
Pokémon go plus+ is great for runners, I’ll take mine for a 5 mile run just clicking the button randomly, I’ll come home with like 200-300 Pokémon in 40-50 mins
Used mine for the squirtle comm day today, was really disappointed. It felt way too slow, I didn’t catch anywhere near as many Pokémon as expected. It disconnected a fair bit too. Not impressed so far.
Damn. I still don't have one yet
i prefer ball plus, its a fun controller for lets go and i like having a real life pokeball
The only reason people will use this is for great and ultra balls to increase catching odds besides that’s the main reason
Manually pressing for it would get annoying though.
@@171sakoit really isn't tho
@@EpicEric2002 ur telling me running the ball for 3hrs & pressing it repeatedly every 30sec isn’t annoying….buddy ur a better man than I’ll ever be 💪
Why do they need our sleep info? That is just very weird and invasive to me
Unless you're turning on and off at the exact time you sleep it's never going to be accurate and you don't actually need to be asleep you can be working and just keep it somewhere and it'll count as long as it doesn't move
It's Pokeball Plus. :)
Gotcha you can take your Pokémon from pikachu or Eevee and it levels up
Wish u could have 1
I’ve used them all my favorite for multi acct users is the dual catchamon easy! But for solo players the plus + is better in my opinion pushing a button to use greats and ultra balls isn’t a deal breaker! The fact I get to use them with my phone put away is a blessing in my eyes. The go plus is great but technology advances fast and it’s left in the past. The pokeball plus is great too but if you don’t have a switch then you don’t have the auto spin feature and if people are crying about pushing a button to throw great/ultra balls then just get more tissues. The gotcha is good too but the battery dies too fast. Not the rechargeable death either I mean just dies for good and that’s super hard to replace. I’ve gone through 4 in my pogo life. I still ride around with my pokeball plus now just in case I run into a rare issue with my plus+ which I haven’t had any issues since the last update. Regardless just go out there and catch ‘em all
I’ve got ball + and go ++ Honestly I’d recommend classic gotcha it’s faster at everything
Then that’s not an auto catcher if I have to press -_- that’s a press catcher
🥰🥰🥰
B tan!!! send me one!!!!???
There are no Gotcha's or autocatcher's available in India. Even if they are available, they are too expensive.
Even in the UK - I lost my Gotcha, then I was struggling to justify paying £50 on a new one 😢. I am originally from Brazil, so I know that value for money is tough as I reckon we might have similar access to such niche devices. But if anything, having an auto-catches takes away the excitement of the game to a certain extent.
Same in Australia
All sold out or wanting $150 for the plus plus
Best review, the only player I trust to tell the truth.
I only wish that you had said that it " misses" 75 % of the time. I will be selling mine as soon as I finish the snorlax event.
no shit bro think about a normal throw with a normal poke ball
It really doesnt
@@listrich right?
And it does not throw a curve ball.
17 min ago and early
Anyone else having a problem trying to connect the pokeball plus to their Pokémon go?
Don't need to watch to know dual catchmon all day
I think the ball plus is better.
Hi
