I CAN BARELY GIVE MY BUDDY BERRIES!

Pokémon GO is currently experiencing a major server outage today, October 19, 2026, causing severe connection issues and terrible load times for thousands of players globally.

According to community outage reports and platforms like DownDetector, a massive surge in user reports began around 7:27 PM Eastern Time, with players experiencing stuck loading screens, "Network Error 2" messages, and total launch failures.

Current Server Status & Issues

• The Outage: Niantic's servers are experiencing connectivity drops, meaning the game may freeze entirely or take several minutes to load into the map.

• Pre-existing Update Bugs: Users agree on platforms like Reddit's r/TheSilphRoad that recent forced updates (such as version 0.427.0) had already introduced lingering performance issues, where the loading bar often pauses at 100% for up to a minute before loading the game. Today's server issue has compounded this lag.

where is everyone going to play the go wild area event?

Hello everyone! I am new to the game, just started an account on 7/20/26 and I'm in the "Greater Ballard Area", with easy bus access. I've been pretty into the game so far, and have really enjoyed raiding. I'm level 55 already as a result, with 11k pokemon caught, 1200+ battles won, the works. However, I've never traded or done party stuff!! Even though I've built a pretty decent collection so far the lack of coverage on mega raids and legendaries means I don't really have the coverage to deal with some content efficiently.
I've seen some posts about greenlake loop being a great spot, but are there other groups or locations I should look? UW campus is a hike, but I caught 218 gible there during the game, so I know it's cracked. Any groups that regularly hit Chucks, let me know!!

Do I need to attend a Pokémon GO Theme Night to get the avatar hat or can I just spin a poke stop before September 30 ?

I am not big into gaming, but I do have a handful of Pokémon cards that I've confirmed have some good value to them.
Ie: Charizard 4/102 & Blastoise 2/102 to name a couple.

Where in the Seattle area, other than fb marketplace- would be a good place for selling these cards?

(I'm in Madrona, but can get to wherever in the Seattle area)

Looking for pokemon go friends in or near beacon hill.

Where is everyone for Armored Mewtwo? Maybe the overlap with PAX is too large.

Did any Team Mystic trainers miss out on the Mariners Pokémon GO Night Mystic jersey tickets?

I have 2 Mystic jersey tickets and am looking to trade for 2 Valor jerseys. If you purchase two Valor ticket packages, we can meet inside the stadium and swap jerseys. Let me know!

I didn't get to do the MewTwo raids a couple weeks ago so I'm thankful for the makeup raids this weekend. I've recently been going to Seattle Center on raid days and theres been a good group of trainers that raid in the area.

Is anyone planning on going there for raids this weekend? I'm asking bc I know the Bite of Seattle is there and it's probably gonna be super crowded. I really need MewTwo energy.

If anyone wants to trade lmk:)

Shiny palkia with spatial rend, zeraora, keldeo?

HELP

I know these are the two hotspots, going down tomorrow to grind mega mewtwo y’s. Which is better? I usually go Seattle center but I haven’t played in a while and have heard greenlakes the best now

Cleaned up my list and joined this page looking for some active Seattle Pokémon Gomies for gifts and maybe future trades. This is not a lets meet post.

Is the code!

I’m planning on raiding Mega Mewtwo next month and I need some advice on where the best spot would be in terms of player engagement. I’m checking the map on the official website and I see a few good options but I wanted to ask where most people will be on the weekend.

Hey is there anywhere to farm shadow cresselia in seattle proper or maybe a city raid discord server I could join?

When I started this game in the pandemic gyms were fought for. I then took a break two years ago. Nowadays, aside from the etiquette of letting everyone stay for long enough to get 50 coins, there seems to be a lack of motivation by anyone to take over gyms, as it's too easy to find gyms where people have been there for days. I have had to rely on my alt account more and more to guarantee I am getting 50 coins everyday.

Anyone know a good spot to do the shadow Entei event today? I wanna farm the shiny. Im in Kent so anywhere around there that you guys know of

New to the area seeing if anyone wants to add me 😁

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if there are any good dratini/dragonite locations in seattle (or greater area)? I recently started playing and still dont know good spots in general.

Hi friends! My partner and I are looking for poke pals to raid and trade with. Also people who would be down to do special events and community days.

Add my friend code if interested! Mostly in West Seattle and downtown Seattle but up for going to other locations. ☺️
