Pokemon Go: fix arena errors - how it works
Many Pokemon Go players have recently received an error when entering an arena. If you hit the error code, you will be kicked out of the arena and will have to fight all Pokemon again from the beginning. Particularly bitter: Your own Pokemon still have to be cured and the error occurs again the next time. We'll show you why and how to fix it.
Arena errors in Pokemon Go: the 4 most common reasons
There are different reasons for the Arena error in Pokemon Go - the error is not always the fault of the developers of the app:
- The most common reason: you are too far from the arena. More specifically, your GPS locates you further away than is necessary for fighting in the arena. All you can do here is stay close to the center of the arena.
- Free slot: Many players report that the error occurs in arenas with a free slot. So you would have to fight against a non-existent opponent - hence the mistake. Here the developers have to improve.
- If another player places a Pokemon with fewer competition points in the arena than the one you're fighting, the error will also appear. After all, you should have already fought this weaker Pokemon otherwise. Here, too, only the developers can change anything.
- If several players attack the arena and one has already eliminated the weakest Pokemon, you can no longer fight this pocket monster. However, it will continue to be displayed until the player has finished his entire fight in the arena. Only then can you fight again. Only waiting helps here.
Pokemon Go: Avoid Arena Errors - The Best Tips
- Stay close to the arena and don't move away.
- Only go to an arena where all slots are filled. You can recognize this from the circles in the top left when you tap an arena.
- When you enter an arena, start the fight quickly and let as little time pass as possible (for example by choosing the Pokemon).
- If you get the error message once, go out of the arena, then straight back in and try again. Repeat these steps again and again - you should be successful after two to three minutes at the latest.
