    All these problems are to do with server side changes Niantic made in an attempt to limit/stop the use of bots. They aren't to do with the app updating on your phone. If there is a significant number of people playing legitimately with the same IP address they will all be blocked. I never thought they'd be so stupid to use IP blocking but they have.

    Blocked for playing legit, is that correct? Or do you mean illegitimately i.e. GPS spoofing and botting?

    Came across a Blastoise this morning, a nice low CP 550ish Blastoise, approx 15 Razz and 15 Ultra Balls later he was ran away, that will haunt me.

    About 75 candies away from evolving me own. ****ity ****.

    Yes it is correct. That is why I'm amazed they implemented IP blocking. It was in an attempt to stop bots but failed and is punishing the good guys.

    I haven't been able to connect in two days from a dozen different hotspots. If my account is banned for some reason they could at least display whatever reason they though that was. Given that they're telling everyone to stop in their kitchen tables I imagine their bot whacking is fairly arbitrary.

    So if multiple people are playing from the same IP address and none of them are cheating, they might still get banned? How many people are we talking about here? 10? 20?

    The IP ban won't ban your actual account. It will just ban that particular ip so you'll have to use a different internet connection to play. Most routers will grab a new ip simply be restarting them. Obviously you don't have this choice if you're using a public hotspot.

    Just caught a 700CP Dratini with 91% IV along the Quays. I'm only like 20 candies away from being able to evolve it to another Dragonite too. Should be in the 2600CP - 2700CP range when it's evolved. Delighted :D

    As MiskyBoyy states you won't get banned. The IP is blocked from connecting to their servers. I don't know the specific numbers.

    Tried with my wife's phone and it connected instantly. Cleared catches and application data on mine and restarted. Humble server message. How does that make sense?

    Just reached level 22. Up to 101 in the pokedex now, very close to slowbro, gyarados, dewgong, weezing and electrode candies. could evolve squirtle but i'm waiting on a higher level one before i do.

    Missing a few of the 5km egg pokemon like growlithe, lickitung and duduo so contemplating buying a few incubators.

    That's impressive, I'm level 21 and have just 73. 1 candy off a tentacrule to make 74

    I'm level 27 with 118 in the pokedex, and on the hunt for a mr mime of all things right now.

    All the old spots for him don't seem to spawn him any more, not even Eyre square in Galway.

    Has anyone seen his shadow anywhere or caught him in the last week?

    My 10km egg just hatched, a 1800cp Snorelax, so up to 74! When you get to 20 you get 2 more incubators, I got a few new ones when I had 3 eggs going at a time.

    Nice. I haven't got anything good in the wild in ages. Everything is from eggs or evolution. Need to go somewhere a bit different than usual I suppose. Anything new now gets an ultraball, no matter how low it's cp is.

    I'm in the same boat. Have more than 100 caught already but no Mr. Mime. The first few days I started playing though, it spawned a few times near my house. I thought they must be common enough so and didn't really bother looking for it. Now weeks later, I haven't seen a shadow since :pac:

    I've seen a few lads on here say they spawn in Ranelagh Gardens. Unfortunately haven't had the opportunity to go over there and check.

    I actually went to Skerries beach and Ranelagh gardens the other day and nothing. I have a desktop scanner for pokemon and i can't see it in galway either. Bloody thing doesnt exist any more as far as i can tell! :-)

    Went by there yesterday , nothing to report. Tried fast poke map to scan it last night no sign of mime either. That scanner is very hit and miss now.

    Caught him with one ball. cp416.

    Sincerely change a few weeks back I think mime should spawn where Scyther spawned previously?

    I managed to connect for five minutes earlier but it's back to Failed to Connect now. Seriously annoying.

    Pokescanner Alpha is working fine, it's an android app. You'll get it from the r/pokescanner on reddit

    Scyther spawns in ballyowen park near me and still does, so no change there, unfortunately.

    Thanks for the drogheda tip!

    Like it shows the map Im on but pokestops, gyms and pokemon dont show up

    I'm glad this is happening to other people (not in a bad way) because I thought I was the only one. Hopefully it gets fixed.
