Foreword

Hi OwnedCore,

I've been answering several questions over the week via threads and private messages, all relating to the various bots that the various talented developers generously committed into providing the community with. I've gathered below the most common errors that people have faced and the solutions from both myself and the community so that you could hopefully resolve them yourself before leaving a duplicated/answered question on the bots' respective threads.
(Footnote at bottom of the post)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spegeli's Bot

Main thread: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...date-code.html
Github: https://github.com/Spegeli/Pokemon-Go-Rocket-API
Download: https://github.com/Spegeli/Pokemon-G...ive/master.zip

Error #1

Solution
You've forgotten to set your coordinates. Edit them (default value is 0 for lat/long) under App.config with the Visual Studio.


Error #2

Solution
Right click "PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console" on the Solution Explorer (right side of Visual Studio) and click "Set as StartUp Project" before compiling again.


Error #3

Solution
While you're inserting your own .GPX file, you've forgotten to add the extension in the config folder or wrote a wrong name. To solve this, ensure that the portion in red points correctly to your desired .GPX file.

<setting name="GPXFile" serializeAs="String">
<value>GPXFILE.GPX</value>

Error #4

Solution
Upon first starting your bot, if you receive the above error and have to travel an astronomical distance to your destination, go to <YOURDIRECTORY>\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\Configs and delete "LastCoords.ini". In fact, remember to delete that file every time you're about to change the coordinates in your bot.


Error #5

[Solution
Ensure the PokemonTrainerClub (Ptc) credentials you've entered into the bot are correct.


Error #6

Solution
PTC Servers are down, check https://go.jooas.com/ for the status of the server. Meanwhile, do something productive, hit the gym, watch cat videos, etc.


Error #7

Solution
For the latitude or longitude that you've entered, change the dot to a comma (. to ,)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NecroBot.IO

Main thread: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...icons-bot.html
Github: https://github.com/NecronomiconCoding/Pokemon-Go-Bot
Download: https://github.com/NecronomiconCodin...ive/master.zip

Error #1

Solution
Make sure that whichever period you use in your settings for coordinates (be it dot or comma) for the decimal place, use the same for your GPX file (you can open it up and edit the periods to standardize them with that in the configuration of your bot).


Error #2

Solution
This is when you're stuck in the loop shown above, and is slightly tricky to rectify because various issues can yield that error. Firstly, if your bot had previously worked fine, try restarting your computer and run the bot again. If that does not solve the problem, close the bot and log into the account (on Nox or whatever emulator you're used to). Several users had this problem because the bot account they created had never been logged into organically, once you enter a name for your character, clear your inventory to the default limit, log out and try the bot again, all should be well. Do note that you should spoof to the location your bot is supposed to be at, otherwise you'll get softbanned.


Error #3

Solution
If you're receiving nothing from Pokestops and all the Pokemons are fleeing upon encounter, you're softbanned. This should be common knowledge now but if this happens frequently, it's likely that

<setting name="MaxTravelDistanceInMeters" serializeAs="String">
<value>1000</value>

you've set too high a value for the above, which means your bot traveled way too far from the original coordinate and upon the next launch or when it travels out of radius and bounce back to the initial coordinate, you got softbanned - just ensure that value isn't something out of this world, keep it realistic because Pokemon spawns are very frequent, there are no reasons for your bot to go on a 90 Days Around The World trip.


Error #4

Solution
Restart your bot, ensure that you're not logged into the same account on multiple bots, if you're using Google login delete GoogleAuth.ini from <YOURDIRECTORY]\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\Configs and re-authenticate yourself.


Error #5
The bot isn't recycling the items although I've set the quantity to 0 in ConfigItemList.ini!
Solution
Delete ConfigItemList.ini, open up the solution in Visual Studio, proceed to Settings.cs and change the default values under

public ICollection<KeyValuePair<ItemId, int>> ItemRecycleFilter

Error #6

Solution
Set a higher ratio of Pokeballs:OtherItems so that you recycle less Pokeballs and more miscellaneous items, it's next to impossible for you to run out of Pokeballs that way.

Error #7

Solution
Go to https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-trainer-club/login, login with the same PTC account.
Follow the instructions on screen to verify your PTC account via the associated email address.


Error #8
The bot doesn't collect items from Pokestops while using a .GPX path!
Solution
It's a known issue which the developers are working to fix currently.

Error #9

Solution
You need to configure your password in auth.json as

"PtcPassword": "pwhere",

and not

"PtcPassword": pwhere,

Error #10

Solution
This can mean authentication error as well, do note that in auth.json, the password comes first for PTC followed by username.

PokeSniper2 by Maclone

Main thread: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...where-you.html
Download: https://mega.nz/#!fRMyTBDJ!GjdeHTyJc...MBMEyO7r0jYPwk

Error #1

Null Reference - Restarting

Solution
Ensure that your Pokemon inventory is not full (login with bot or Nox to clear it) and then try to snipe the Pokemon again.


Error #2

Solution
Clear your inventory or simply restart the bot.


Error #3
I keep getting softbanned while using this bot to snipe Pokemons!
Solution
Do not run this bot concurrently with any other bot nor Nox, your default coordinate should be set to the location you were last at.


Question #1
I have no idea where to find coordinates of rare Pokemons!
Solution
You can join this huge discord chat (https://discord.gg/sTQBGpm) listed in this thread http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...n-hunting.html or visit PokeSnipers


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Problems and Questions
Problem #1
Help! I can't switch Google accounts using the bot!
Solution
Delete GoogleAuth.ini from <YOURDIRECTORY]\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\Configs, make sure you're signed into the Google account you wish to bot on your Internet Browser, repeat the usual authentication procedure.


Problem #2
Help! I'm not softbanned (still catching Pokemons) but I aren't getting any items from Pokesteops!
Solution
Your inventory is full, either tweak the inventory settings such that the highest possible number is below 350 or login to the game and recycle your unwanted items.


Problem #3
I'm using PokeFast / Maclone's Compiled Community Bots / Other precompiled bots, I can't seem to change what items are recycled!
Solution
Precompiled bots may or may not have the necessary configuration files (depending on which base they're built upon) for you to tweak your desired settings apart from account credentials and other default values which would normally be in App.config. Switch to a Github source, most Github pages have a short tutorial on the README to teach you how to compile a bot.


Problem #4
My EXP/Hr is low as @#$%!
Solution
The direct solution would be to increase your walking speed and/or increase the travel radius. You can refer to this thread to see what the community has tested.


Problem #5
I keep getting (either of these 3 depending on the bot used)

(ERROR) InvalidResponseException from HttpClientExtensions.cs

Exception of type 'PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Exceptions.InvalidResponseException' was thrown. from Pokemon Go Rocket API

(ATTENTION) [#0 of 25] retry request https://pgorelease.nianticlabs.com/plfe/rpc - Error: System.Threading.Ta
sks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

Solution
Servers are unstable, check its status at https://go.jooas.com/ and wait for it to be back to normal service.


Problem #6
XX Bot doesn't transfer/evolve the Pokemon according to my IV and/or CP preference!
Solution
The IV/CP prioritization is not at the most optimal state now, understandably because there are simply so many variants of preference for the transfer and evolution it's hard to wrap it up in one logic. Wait for our talented developers to slowly refine the code. Meanwhile, if you are nearing a full cache of pokemons, I'd suggest you use this tool for IV-related housekeeping matters.
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...sfer-tool.html


Question #1
I keep seeing IV on the bots and the forum, what is it?
Answer
IV stands for Individual Values, which are basically the hidden stats of your Pokemon, namely Stamina, Attack & Defense.
A perfect IV (100%) would be 15/15/15, which is why it is an option in all the updated bots to keep Pokemons above a certain IV - coupled with the best possible movesets, they will become the strongest possible Pokemon of its kind when its CP is maxed.
For more info you can check out this Reddit FAQ on IV.


Question #2
I'm currently farming at location A and I wish to change to location B which is far away from A, how long should I wait before the change?
Answer
Firstly, make sure you close your bot. Then, wait for 3~6 hours before starting your bot again in the new location, depending on how far away it is from your last location. It is recommended that you wait for at least 4 hours for cross-continental jumps, and at least 2 hours for cross-state/county/country jumps.


Question #3
May I know which bot is the best currently?
Answer
It is entirely up to your own judgement, each bot has its own unique functionalities.
For instance, DetectiveSquirrel's has an option to run the bot with a nice user interface, Spegeli's output your Pokemon into an excel file for your reference and Necronomicon's has the most contributors amongst the three hence its frequent bug fixes and timely updates. Not forgetting the precompiled ones which save you the trouble of downloading Visual Studio. You won't get any noticeable performance differences between the bots, hence my advice would be to read through the community's discussion on a certain bot and download it to try. It's good to stick to one bot so that you have less stuffs to reconfigure upon each new update.
I have ran all three bots mentioned above for long hours and the difference in EXP/Hr @ Central Park, NYC is negligible.


Question #4
I think I've just been soft-banned because I teleported from NYC to Spain. What can I do?
Answer
One of the members have discovered a trick to circumvent the softban.
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/poke...ban-going.html
You can either try that or simply wait for 3~6 hours for the ban to be lifted.

Footnote

I tried replicating most mistakes so as to take the screenshots which you'd see below. Nonetheless, if there are other error logs that are not shown here or addressed, feel free to leave it in this thread and I will update the original post with a solution if it is available. Some screenshots may be sourced from the threads as well if I'm unable to replicate the error, credits to whoever had the issue and posted the respective screenshots (hope you've resolved it by now!).

The errors will be classified under the respective bots, if the error & solution is similar for another bot, it'd not be repeated. Some of these errors may have been rectified over time or the same solution might strangely not work anymore, if so please do not yell bloody murder in this thread, let me know below and I'll see to it within the best of my ability. I will be updating this post with more errors as I come across them. If you have a solution to a certain error not listed here, feel free to leave it in the comments as well and I'll be sure to add them and accredit you for it.

Disclaimer: While I've some knowledge in basic programming, it is purely out of leisure and interest. In no way do I have the same depth in the understanding of these bots as the developers, even some of you out there! Hence, pardon me should I ever exercise a wrong judgement on certain scenarios - apart from 'common sense' and a certain level of understanding on the logic of the code, I do always try to replicate the error on my end and troubleshoot them before handing out advice/solutions.

Hope this helped you in a way or another.

First of all great topic!

Hello i have one qestion. Sometimes i get the following error with Spegeli's bot:

[23:37:46] (NAVIGATION) Distance to target location: 140,28 meters. Will take 50,5 seconds!
[23:37:57] Exception of type 'PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Exceptions.InvalidResponseException' was thrown. from Pokemon Go Rocket API

What does it mean ?

[elmontroski]

im using spegelis bopt and i get this error like 30 minutes into it ande it crashes what does this mean?

Hi there,

I'm currently using Necrobot, does anyone know how I can just farm high IV Dragonite? I can't seem to find the sweet spot of settings.
My current settings have the IV set to 95% to evolve, 90% to keep. Evolve list is Dragonair and Dratini. Keep list is Dragonair and Dragonite, with min CP of 1800. I just have a boat load of Dragonair now, I'm guessing all with at least with 90% IV??

Additionally, is there a function to powerup/level the Dragonite as well?
Or only keep Dragonite with certain move sets? (i.e. Steel wing and Hyper Beam are the worst DPS, I want to keep Dragonite with Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw).

Thanks!

Is there a way to evolve all pokemon with a command for the Spiegel style bot?

What does it mean ?

Technically it's when the bot fails to fetch certain payload / information from the server. It shouldn't be a frequent occurrence, perhaps due to unstable servers, try restarting your bot if it simply breaks and pause there. What I'm more concerned wtih is that it takes 50 seconds for your bot to travel 140 meters, if I'm reading that right you've set your moving speed to be pretty low?

im using spegelis bopt and i get this error like 30 minutes into it ande it crashes what does this mean?

See above.

Thanks!

Your Dragonairs are piling up because you have it in the keep list, pokemonsNotToTransfer prioritizes the keep list so the other transfer/evolve requirements will be voided. There isn't a function to filter transfer-able Pokemons by move sets yet afaik.

Servers are down/unstable if you're constantly getting that error log.

Is there a way to evolve all pokemon with a command for the Spiegel style bot?

There isn't a command per se, but if you want to evolve all your Pokemons, you can go to PokemonsToEvolve.txt and then list down the names of all the evolve-able Pokemons. You can use this list. I've listed all the Pokemons which can be evolved.

I'm using Spegeli's Bot, compiled by Maclone. Just wanna report that the minIV and IV prioritize isn't working, and wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix it.

MinIV error:
I've set my minIV to 85%, and min CP to 700. My Bot will keep all pokemons above 700, even if they have really low IV. Yet at the same time it will transfer low CP pokemons, even if the IV is over 85%. This shows that the Bot is only checking the CP values, and disregarding the IV checks.

IV prioritize over CP error:
Doesn't work. When there's duplicates and the bot needs to transfer, he will keep high CPs and transfer lower CPs, even if the lower CP has more IV. Lost quite a number of 90+% pokemons due to the Bot choosing the high CP ones which has bad IV.

Hi, i'm using NecroBot it was all good then i tried other bots i don't like it so i use Necro's again but when i start the bot it says:

Spegeli mentioned 2 days ago that the IV implementation isn't working as intended, I've yet to see if its resolved. Do note however for the PrioritizeIVOverCP, the duplicate still have to hit the IV threshold for it to be kept. From your settings, I'd advice you to set a much higher min CP.

hey. thanks for the guideline, appreciate it.

i'm curious with my spageli bot. why does it always error at 6 hours run ?
all the red texts fail to load stuffs.

i'll get you the SS next time i bot again, just curious tho
