I am so glad I am not the only person who appreciates a really good rock!
My daughter brings a new one home every day. I'm not looking forward to the day she stops. Lol😅
I have a dedicated bag I bring everyday to pick up trash. Get rest, feel better. Sending good vibes to you and yours!
Gold n diamond ones are the best 👍😉✅
22:17 Great way to let the viewers know without even saying the name 😂😂
I wish I could turn down the brightness of the lights, turn off vibrations, and I don’t need Pikachu announcing to the world I’m connecting my Gotcha.
Pikachu sounds can be turned off (in the menu or manual override on the device) but 100% agree vibes and lights need an off button.
Same with the pokeball plus!
I seen someone on Reddit take theirs apart and remove the bulbs and vibration.
@@dustinat0r12makes no difference in Pokémon GO. Still vibrates.
Bro thats my drama right there. I tried to leave my plus on overnight, but i found out quickly how invasive it really is and had to wrap it up in a pair of socks (worn twice) to muffle the vibrations and cut out the flashing. There really needs to be a full silent mode, a do not disturb function.
"About the size of if you're at the beach and pick up a rock and you're like, 'that's a good rock' " should be on the official packaging. 😁
22:16 talking about 3rd party devices while holding the gotcha cup is smooth
It would be smoothier it there was smoothie inside. 😂
Heh, nice little "gotcha" water bottle message. Very sneaky and clever haha
I love that we finally can use great and ultra balls but think its really dumb that those have to be done manually. Whats the point of having that option to toggle those choices on and off if you still have to do it manually, that doesnt make sense. It's a cool update but I'll probably wait until a 3rd party device comes out that is just a better version of this. Im currently using the gotcha evolve and its working just fine for now.
If its not an inconvenience i think a catch and general ease of use comparison would be nice to have.
The biggest deal for me was that you could reconnect it without having to push the button on the device itself. Over time it became so annoying to stop every hour, to stop the flow outside to stand there for minutes trying to reconnect the device again.
Good video! The Trainer Club did do a video comparing the new ++ to a Gotcha... but having more data points would be great. And a little competition between you and your mate is always fun to watch.
The GOTCHA cup when talking about unofficial defices got me ngl :D
Hey Zoe, I believe the struggle with the plus identifying pokemon and how it works is actually connection problems within the game itself, I think that them listing the Plus+ has caused a few bugs, a lot of devices aren't working like they used to, so hopefully Niantic sorts out their bugs soon, great content!
Agreed- my poke ball & poke walker plus have both been buggy for the last week.
whenever you pair/connect the device, you have to go into the settings and turn off/on the setting to detect pokemon. If you don't it wont recognize any pokemon at all
@DroneShotsTO, thank you! I was wondering why it wasn't recognizing all the pokemon around me.
It works for me after connecting and toggling the See Pokemon and Stops sliders on and off
Yeah, that's what I've been doing to get it to work, but just toggling the options doesn't seem to work for me, but I've found unpairing and repairing gets it working just like before, whereas before though you just had to click on the pokeball to get it to reconnect, they just seem to be ironing out a few kinks, that's not to say the pluses aren't usable, I've still been able to use mine using the above method 👍
I luckily pre-ordered mine, it’s what I’ve been waiting for Nintendo to finally deliver on, an auto catcher that does what the third party ones do.
I’ve had issues before connecting third party auto catchers which is why I stopped using them, so an official Nintendo branded one that actually works with the game as intended is nice and with new features.
Even though we had the Plus/pokeball Plus, this one is much better. The design is simple, I like the flat disk design and the auto catching during work was great, never needed to open my phone except to reconnect.
I did add my own wrist strap and a USB-C dust plug to protect the connection port. Plus I’m getting a Crystal case to protect the body of the device. Overall I’m happy with it!
Thanks for your review on the ++ ball ! Just love 💕 ur intake. Greetings from PSP, CA.
You telling Pikachu to shut up was so funny 😂
The issue with the marerp is a similar issue iv had with the OG Go+. If the Go+ is in the middle of catching a mon and you catch it manually the go+ will get jealous and not catch anything for a few mins.
😂 I thought I noticed this wasn't sure. Da silly thing can't catch snorlax l, course I gotta intervene
Ever since the update for this it's messed up loads of peoples go plus originals !!!
They need to fix it or refund for the ones they've bricked.
I have a Go-tcha Evolve and just realized it wasn't catching anything anymore. I hope they fix it as well.
Pair. Go into setting. Turn off the switches and back on for the Pokémon and stops.
It seems to fix it (temporarily)
@keithmathley I don't think they care about 3rd party stuff though.
I've paired make sure it's white in settings then turn on off the catch and spin on settings a few times.
Seems to work with go plus so should with gotcha
@@MarkBailey that's what I've been doing.
Pretty annoying isn't it lol
@@joinmeonthedarkside2 yep! I imagine they'll fix it. They are trying to sell the new one but it's the same for pokeball plus so they won't leave it broke... I hope!
The bugs apply to all devices. You have to turn your options off, and then turn them back on in the menu to get them to work after connecting your device. Also if they were going to copy someone else's features they should have taken the quick connect tied to both the button on the device and on the screen.
Have to say, been enjoying the Plus+. Never owned one back in 2016 and been waiting for this since it’s announcement! It’s helped me catch over 400 random in two days - look out fleeceking! 😂
Only 700 item and Pokémon storage, so I think this would be useless for me
Do not trust this comment - plus will never catch "400 in two days". Autocatcher with red balls can't catch such amount even if you are walking and there are no connection problems - autocatcher miss 4 from 5. But if you are going to use blue/legend balls this is not a plus catching but you - just with fance button accessuare. Plus is only accessuare.
New subscriber. You’re having all of the same glitches I am having with the device…not seeing Pokémon’s or not throwing the great/ultra balls manually. Very glitchy. It lets many of the typically stronger Pokémon escape. Anyway, still cool for giving my shoulder a break from spinning and catching low IV Pokémon. Yours is the best review so far. Thanks! You didn’t glide by the functions and bugs. Look forward to future tips on getting the most outta this device.
It definitely needs some updates. It will no auto catch or spin stops at times. The only work around is to disconnect by taping the poke ball icon and then turn off auto catch for both, then connect ball again and turn the auto catch features on... annoying niantic for 60 dollar device
Great review! I have been thinking about buying one of these but wasn't sure if it was worth. Thanks Zoe :)
22:20 cleverly timed drinking cup 😅
“there are other third party devices” i see what you did there
I like the plus + but it didn't sync my sleep last night to pogo, hopefully the reset i did fixes but seems like a great auto catcher especially if your out driving around it picks up some mons with out having to strap the go plus around the pokepall to hold it down. Plus snorlax with a sleepy cap will be great. Wish Komala was an Aussie only but atleast his in the game.
A Go Plus Plus is £50 quid in the UK - for that kind of money I’d assumed there’d be a testing phase or two in their product development cycle… maybe where they’d notice how irritating it is to have a vibrate that the user can’t disable… but heyho 🤷
Nope. Makes too much sense lool
I would be satisfied if even the auto works even with all the vibrating and bright lights but on my iphone even auto options don't work 95% of the time, so frustrated with this. I am going to return my ++ when some other company releases their ++ equivalent device which will probably be 10 times better than the ++
I also found that it does pick up Pokémon before they show up on the screen and sometimes even try’s catching them before they even show haha. I also found it has more fled the catch. I’m not sure if it’s not picking up on my catch rate and try and match or not. This is the very first one of these things I ever had haha.
That gotcha bottle 😂 love the little wink wink
I use one of those unmentionable third-party devices, and the main differences between my device and this one that I dislike are the size of the device (mine is smaller than my finger, super discreet) and the vibration that you can't turn off (also, discreet). I do like the ability to reconnect just through the app, without having to press a button on the device.
If Niantic/Nintendo are open to feature requests: I would love to be able to set an auto-spinner to not spin stops I haven't spun before, and to not spin if my field research is full :D
I've only caught one komala, but I'm in love. That little log twirl thing is super adorable
I like it. I like the quick reconnect and the fact that we can use different balls. 💯
It cannot auto catch with different balls?you need to press button right?
@@zenox0288 yep
the different balls seem to work only if you press button each time, not with autocatch
Trying to see if the old clamp trick works lol
@@MrRagingasian do you use tape, or what would you clamp it with?
I can see them turning off vibration also it will help extend battery life
2050? damn...I don't know what I'd do if we lost our lovable little fluffs
Thanks so much for spreading awareness about the Koala's and the loss of habitats, let's make sure they thrive and live on forever
Got myself the Plus + just today. Spent a day with it and I’m happy with it, first gatcha item for the game. Gorgeous little animals Koalas are. Seen them once in a zoo back in the day in the uk years ago, those little things are awesome. Save the animals 1000%
there is already a mod to get rid of the vibration feature on the ++ and if you wanna get your Snorlax faster there is a way for that too (see Trainer Tips)
“It’s the size of a good rock at the beach.” Thanks for clarifying! Now we all know what size it is.
That cup @ 22:18 is absolutely hilarious!
i am pretty sure it doesn't autocatch outside the first ring but will spin stops up to the second ring. That is why it wouldn't catch the mareep
Thanks for this video, I was wondering if it was gonna be worth it, and you totally sold me!
I get spammed? Everyone else gets little hearts for their comments and I get spammed? Screw this. Won't be commenting again or liking. Thanks for nothing.
Hmmm excited to get mine but can you give us an update on the Go Plus + In a couple days?
I’ll try and test it once mine comes on Tuesday, might be a bit different experience cause I’ll be using my powerchair to test how many Pokémon the plus plus will catch while I’m on the go 😂
If possible ,then make a video of your Grind session...
Since they updated for the new GO Plus +, I’ve been having issues with my PokeBall Plus not picking up spawns. What I did to fix it was that every time I restart the game, I unpair the PokeBall and then repair it and it starts picking up the spawn immediately.
Every auto catcher are kinda bad after last update,dont catch half of what its used to
Does it keep catching with ultra balls if you are strapping down the button? I am already working on an auto-catch-case
"There are a few other devices out there that you can use but I'm not encouraging you...." as Zoe holds up a Go-tcha cup. LMAO Epic!!!!
Get better soon! And get the rest you need ❤
Looks like the sleep data can’t be synced to your account and a family members account on the same day. It might limit syncing the data to the first account the Plus+ pairs with after sleep. So, if sharing with fam or friends, you’ll have to finish your 7 days of sleep tracking, then lend it to them.
The Mareep was a daily spawn. The Pokemon Go Plus Plus will not catch daily spawns only natural, incense, and lure spawns. This has been a known issue since the original Polemon Go Plus since they added the daily spawn feature after the pandemic.
It wasn't, there was no ring around it.
Mareep wasn't my daily spawn.
I think the pokemon have to be in the first circle to catch with the Go Plus +, the extended range will see, but not catch. Glad the Pokestops cover further.
maybe just a faulty device or bug but im having connection issues but not all the time. worked fine all day yesterday but today its bein a little inconsistent. Had to reconnect a few different times and auto hitting stops just stopped and i had to go back and take all settings off it and restart both app and plus and then it still sometimes wasnt workin. love the device and working properly its amazing. They fix the bugs and its 100% worth. you can have it indicate stops only and spin them auto if youre actually playing. town in car though you should auto catch or in raids auto catch works too.
and by in raids i mean it auto catches pokemon outside the raid, you still catch the pokemon at the end. it hits the stops while raiding to which is killer
The patience that you have and honesty you show. That you send out to the world as a fun day is fu day batbas well u give very goodies and updates....thankz Zoë Miami love you...
I just ordered it for pick up and came to pick it up and I'm opening it right now all in less than an hour thanks to this video.
Recently since last update I have to go into the attached device settings page and exit back to the main screen just to get my connected Gotcha to start catching. Seems the updates have got some bugs affecting all auto catchers!
I'm having the same issue
Me 2,i use duomon
It would be nice to know how many ball's are trown per hour. And if this is different to other devices.
Yeah I had to same problem a bunch of Pokemon just sitting there and my Pokemon plus plus just wouldn't pick any up but spinning all the pokie stop but couldn't pick up all the Pokemon around and then couple minutes later it just started working and doing really well but then shortly after started not catching again not sure what happening hope it is first days problems and they fix it up and the vibrations and lights are very annoying if they can fix some of them things that would be awesome, I think it will be really good once they work out the glitches and kinks
you have not picked up on radius yet, with last bug can still see further pokemon but doesn't mean an auto can get it, which isn't bad as can see some further stuff sometimes for me. this really noticed on spotlight hr, i can see a few pokemon still but auto cant catch them and they further away
Would love a more in depth test please. Pre-ordered in the UK so have until 21st for release and from what I've seen so far, I think I'm regretting it HAHA
It's like Alexa in the pocket while sleeping = very evil device with cute sounds that records whatever you say while sleeping. I don't think we need a 3rd party device to record sleep when we have our smartphone to do that. Auto catch and pokestop spin can be a in-built feature in the game other than using PkmnGo++ device.
I noticed the Plus + has issues with Pokemon outside the main spawn circle. The spawns across the street from my house take a while to register for capture attempts. Also it just outright ignores some Gimmighoul from the coin bag, but not all of them. It's weird.
I've been having issues with my game or maybe just my phone where it doesn't keep track of my GPS when it's in standby, which caused the Plus + to ignore all the stops on my way home from work today. I dunno if that's a wide spread thing or again just my phone.
It is a cool device, I just hope they fix some of the minor issues that came with the launch of it.
I love when pika sings you a lullaby before bed and gets all happy when u wake up 😊
I like everything about it EXCEPT the vibration and not being able to turn it off. Other then that it’s good
Appreciate you and you powering through the sick to give us this video
I would love a test before I purchase. And if it’s worth the money. Thanks for all you do.
anything that can help track your stats I feel is worth having around
Hey Zoë, I got one. It’s awesome. Except. Every time the app crashes and I reconnect it to my iPhone. It won’t auto catch or spin anymore. And it won’t work either if I toggle the feature on and off. And don’t bother call ing nintendo support. There no help. And I still haven’t heard back from Niantic about it either. I sent them this issue two days ago. So not sure what to do next. Do you have any suggestions? Please and thanks.
I feel like I’ve been having the same issue where my pokeball plus isn’t recognizing Pokemon quickly either, like how your plus + wouldn’t recognize the mareep for a bit. It’s rather annoying.
I love how my first Komala was 0-1-1 as well 😂
Sorry doll , back to the original for me , especially while on the pushy/ bike 🚴.
Looking forward to seeing ya here in Japan 🇯🇵. You gotta get to Namba / Downtown Osaka , switch on your “Go raids “ map to local and hangout for hundo notifications. Very frequent here . People are really helpful.
It’s freakn super hot 🥵 though 39.9! Yesterday, humidity 75% plus
Good luck , big catches 👍
The rock at the beach comparison was a super Aussie thing to say 😂😂😂
I am glad to seeI am not the only one thinking the new ++ is a bit eh with locking on. I noticed the pokeball started to go a bit poop in the weeks leading up to this launch, Assumed it was to get people buying the new one. I have to say I am not overly happy. Also i set it for sleep was in that setting for 7-8 hours only counted 4 hours of sleep though.
so it wont auto-use greatballs\ultra?? ;_;
@@jonniefast not if you set it to auto catch. If you use it where you have to press the button (which you can no longer just hold down) then it will use the other balls.
@@bviptech i guess we will have to wait for the next one sadly
i already have the original+, and pokeball for the switch that i never use ;_;
kinda feels anti-consumer with these marginal updates\upgrades
locking functionality behind paywalls etc
@@jonniefast honestly at least wait a bit. Mine is buggy as. But I’ve started the research to get the snorlax. So have to see it through 😂
Watched the whole gangs reviews on this, your the only one I seen mention driving. I bought one today. Been a joy, but if your after stops mainly while driving and farming, your better to turn auto spin on Pokémon off.
The only difference I see is the ability to pick who ball is used. It really seems like a big Pogo Plus. Hoping I can get back to using my Gotcha soon.
My poke plus + is coming on the 21st July as it releases later in europe and the UK but hopefully the bugs will be fixed by then. I have all 3 offical poke plus, the orignal I gave it to my dad when I got a second hand pokeball plus which I like but can be hard to put in a pocket due to its bulk. The vibrations don't anoy me
I found quite often, if you manually try to catch a mon with the Plus + active, it will stop attempting pokemon for a second, or until you move around a bit and encounter new mons.
Still unsure if I’ll pick this up. I still have the OG GO+ and I clip it to my hat when I’m out playing. It’s very convenient!
Love that! “That’s a good rock!”
Do you have to hit the button everytime to catch or when you turn on auto catch does it do it self
Good to see it's not just mine that isn't picking up what's on the map.
There was supposed to be event field research, but it all requires the Plus plus. 🤷♀️ And komala is not spawning much at all. I drove all around town for 2 hours and only saw one. Have been checking from home for 2 more hours and none spawning or on nearby.
Mine is getting delivered today...can't wait to get my snorlax with hat.
A couple people in my Raid group had their new Go Plus+ vibrate off a table!
Your video is the only one I noticed that you need to disconnect the auto enable mode to use ultra balls, thank you for that
I've been having a lot of connectivity issues. I reinstalled the game and it wasn't linking to my account, I reseted the go plus+, and it's been a lot of problems
I’m still using the OG Pokemon go watch, still works great 😊
Reading through the comments it seems like not many people picked up on the Gotcha wink wink (nice one Zoe! 😄). I have the Gotcha Ranger and been super happy with its performance but I still grabbed a Plus + as I’m a sucker for the exclusive Snorlax.
It will come for everyone later
@@zenox0288not guaranteed 🤷♂️
So you spent $60 for a Snorlax with a hat?
@@TheRealBilbrey420 if you played Pogo more then a week you know this will come for everyone 😅
@@overthetip haha some guys are stupid,not hard to see why niantic can do whatever they want and still earn money
In Las Vegas you missed the first throw on a Kyogre I asked you to catch for me. I literally LOLd when you missed the first throw and said nailed it.
I had one in 2016 and thought it was pretty cool, I was super hardcore tho when the game was hyped had to have all the gear 😆
How does your camera quality look so good in ar mode mine is all pixel on an s21 ultra?
I have heard if you turn on silence mode on the plus+ it turns off the lights, vibration, and sound!!!
Can the sleeping cap Snorlax be transferred to Pokemon Home? Can the volume of the Plus+ be muted? I don't think I'll buy one for quite a while if the answer to either of those is no
Hello!! Silicone protector for GoPlus+ super reduces volume and intensity of vibration!
Lmao @5:00
PIKA PIKA!!
.....shut up😂
My original Gotcha died a while back, and I miss it badly. I am trying not to spend any money on this game unless I really have to. I had thought about getting the Plus+, but the only feature it could have had that made it worth it to me is being able to use any ball in auto catch...it can't do that.
I've had the 2016 pokemon go plus but is this a good upgrade auto catcher for a beginner?
“There are other third party devices… not that I’m encouraging you to do that or whatever…”
*holds up a cup saying “Gotcha”*
Absolute queen. 😂😂😂
i haven't played for like 1 year but yeasterday i started playing again and i chougt a pokemon i never had heard of its called jangmo o is it good?
I am having that problem too. i currently have a Dewpider on screen but my plus + isn't trying to catch it. Since i got it yesterday i noticed this. I guess its a bug???
Could you revisit this if these bugs has been fixed in like two weeks time?
With my Go+ if i clicked on a pokemon and caught it, then the device was really reluctant/slow to identify anything else. Once it did however, it would go back to 'normal'.. until I caught one manually with auto catch still on. It made community day shiny hunting so annoying.
:'( where was the option to disable the vibration or the lighting part :3 (only need it to help catch and not become some sort of distraction, especially while you are sleeping)
Day 1 Rest catch : ______ (around 2-5 pokemon respawn spot at home)(expectation 10-30 Pokemon in the 6-8 hour of rest) ~ will update the result
Gonna mow the front lawn and backyard with a push mower that day to get those steps in 😂
👀
Glad you are feeling better
Where's the best place to get them in Australia? Can't find them anywhere
So, if mine arrives late, do i still have the same chance of encountering the shiny as someone who plays the event on time ?
