A Pokemon Go error 25 message is doing the rounds in Niantic’s game. Players have been left frustrated with a message that states “This Pokemon can’t be found (25)” or, if they are, they despawn and disappear before they can be caught. Find out if there’s a Pokemon Go error 25 fix for this issue with our help.
Pokemon Go Error 25 | Why are Pokemon despawning?
The Pokemon Go error 25 message isn’t a new one, but it’s resurfaced after some time away from the game. Multiple reports have appeared on the game’s Reddit page in the past 24 hours with players unable to figure out what the issue is.
The problem stems from players who are clicking on Pokemon. Once a critter has been clicked on, people are finding that Pokemon is disappearing from view. This is quickly followed by the message which reads “This Pokemon couldn’t be found (25).”
Others have complained that the Pokemon they catch is completely different from the one displayed onscreen too. One Reddit user revealed that they caught a Swablu but, when they looked at their Pokedex, an Oddish appeared instead.
It isn’t an issue reserved for iPhone or Android users either. Players on both platforms have been hit by it, and it’s leaving many frustrated at a lack of communication from Niantic.
Pokemon Go Error 25 | How to fix
Thankfully, there’s a very easy way to fix the Pokemon Go error 25 issue. If you start to notice it more regularly than usual, or at all, then you’ll have to completely log out of the game. To do this, head to the main menu and scroll down the page until you come across the “log out” button at the bottom. Tap this, and the game will log you out. Close the application down too on your phone for good measure.
After a couple of seconds, launch the game again. You’ll be asked to sign in to the app. Do so, and the problem will be resolved. If it happens again, simply follow these instructions to get rid of it again.

10 Abandoned Monsters That Need Help in Pokemon Sword and Shield
There are a lot of Pokemon. Each generation brings around 100 new ones while also maintaining the massive number of returning favorites. Some are bound to be left by the wayside, but it doesn't have to be this way. Here are 10 Pokemon that deserve support in Pokemon Sword and Shield -
Alomomola
Some Pokemon landed on this list because of untapped potential. Alomomola landed on this list because it needs a purpose. It's one of the dozens of water types that never get any attention, it can't evolve, and there's nothing else notable about it. You'd think it would be an evolution to Luvdisc, but it instead just feels like 'dex filler. -
Carbink
Carbink has a cool design and a relation to the Mythical Pokemon Diancie. Sadly, because Mythical Pokemon can't evolve, they have no gameplay relation, just a lore one. Carbink is just left alone as a neat design with neat typing and nothing else going for it. -
Carnivine
Carnivine basically serves a second stab at the Venus Fly Trap Pokemon concept after the Bellsprout line. Despite having a much better design than its Gen 1 compatriots, it gets no love and no support. It's time to see what Carnivine could do with a bigger set of jaws. -
Castform
One of the many gimmick Pokemon that could fill this list, Castform changes into one of several different elemental forms in weather. Despite that being its gimmick, Castform hasn't gotten updated forms as the games have gone on. There are way more than Sunny Day and Hail in Pokemon now, but Castform is trapped in the past. -
Fearow
Some Generation 1 favorites get all the luck. Sure, we probably don't need more birds, but Fearow is an old school favorite that has needed a boost since the original games. The design is there, and some fans still hold out hope for a third evolution whenever a new game emerges from Game Freak. -
Inkay
Inkay has one of the most obtuse and silly evolution requirements of any Pokemon. It requires you to hold your system upside down in order to reach its evolved form. It's cute exactly once, and then it becomes a burden. Will this weird requirement work on future systems? Or will future games have the "Upside Down Chamber" to go with the everpresent Moss Rock? -
Shuckle
When Gold and Silver introduced Shuckle's ability to create Berry Juice by holding a Berry, it was pretty clever. However, besides that and its bizarre stats, there hasn't been much to go around for this classic turtle friend especially since Berries aren't really a thing anymore. -
Stunfisk
Stunfisk got a bum rap going into the previous generation. One of its signature abilities prevented it from being Paralyzed, which is now a standard feature of all Electric types. That means that half of all Stunfisk now have a distinct disadvantage over other members of its species. A Pokemon with such weird typing deserves better. -
Zangoose
Look at Zangoose. In any other monster-driven RPG, Zangoose would be right near the top of the list in terms of sheer cool factor. Because this is Pokemon, it's a crowded field, and this cat ferret Pokemon only gets a rivalry with a similarly overlooked poison snake. Justice for Zangoose. -
Farfetch'd
If I had to rank all these Pokemon, I think Farfetch'd would take the top spot. He's has a great look, his name is fun to say, he has a stick, and yet he has no support. Probably one of the least usable Pokemon out of Generation 1, Farfetch'd deserves way better than he got.
