megacom DuoMon 1P/2P dual account Auto Catcher compatible for Pokemon Go Plus - Compact Go Accessory with Auto Catch, Voice Notifications - Faster Wireless Bluetooth for Pocket Go Game (Blue)

TL,DR: I highly recommend this product, just be sure to get high quality batteries for it, and turn it off when not using it. See below for details. I’ve been using this auto catcher since April, it is now August. It has been the most reliable auto catcher I’ve had to date, compared to Pokémon Go+, Gotcha Original and Gotcha Classic. At first, I would blow through batteries really quickly, with one set lasting little more than a single day (about 6-8 hours of play time). However, after losing battery power at a friend’s house, they offered me a big name brand set of batteries and I found to my astonishment that they lasted almost two weeks, with similar play patterns. I stopped buying generic brand batteries and haven’t had a problem since. I easily get 70+ hours of play time out of each set of batteries when I buy the good ones. To extend the life of the battery, I always turn the device off when I’m not using it. It will put itself to sleep when not in use, but even in its sleep state, it is constantly waiting to be reconnected which slowly drains the battery. Other reviews mentioned that the trap door over the battery compartment breaks off easily, however, I have not had any issue with it being fragile at all. It has a quick release latch that opens easily when intended, but is sufficiently protected by the silicone case included in the purchase. Additionally, I noticed a few reviews mentioning the battery compartment doesn’t indicate which direction to insert the batteries. This isn’t the case. It is clearly marked just inside the battery cavity which is the “+” and which is the “-“ side. One other thing to note, and I can’t say if this is coincidence or design, but I have a noticeably higher catch rate (lower flee rate) with this catcher than any of my previous models. Also, a much higher shiny rate. Since using this catcher, I catch at least 1 shiny/day with it. Sometimes more. Previously, I was lucky to get 1-2 per week, often less. It has also caught numerous 4* mons. The most recent community day was froakie, I walked away with 39 shiny mons, about 1/3 of which were caught with this auto catcher. This is about average for me since using this catcher.

I use this with a single iPhone even though it supports two devices. The pairing was simple and it’s been working great. I set it to silent mode and keep it in my bag when on the go. It has caught a few rare shinies that I would have otherwise missed. My biggest challenge is keeping up my supply of red poke balls and also not running out of Pokémon space. This is like every other auto catcher in that it disconnects from the game after an hour, but a single click in game reconnects it. It aggressively catches and spins even when driving, in menus, in other apps, etc. The biggest issue which is probably common to these is that if you run out of red balls, but there is a Pokémon nearby, it won’t spin any stops and seems to get stuck. I have to manually spin a few stops until it gets enough red balls to catch the nearby Pokémon, and then it starts auto spinning and catching again. I haven’t yet had any issues with the battery door, but some batteries are slightly bigger than others and I could see the door latch getting too much tension and wearing out.

This is the Best auto catcher on the market if you're looking for Pokestop Spins as a "passenger". I bought this for the passive poke stop spins and Pokémon catches I wouldn't normally get while driving and running errands. This thing will spin stops even when Im driving >50MPH. Other catchers I've had, I would have to be going no higher than 10MPH for any spins so this is truly the best auto catcher for passive play. It's also capable of connecting to 2 accounts/phones. This is useful if you have an Alt or a friend you normally play with. It's perfect for me since I have an alt for completing those party researches or trade field tasks. The catch rate feels considerably lower than other auto catchers, but that's not necessarily a con since realistically you're using this to catch Pokémon you normally wouldn't have caught anyway. I've gotten plenty of shinies and 4 stars that I wasn't expecting so that's more of a bonus in my eyes since I bought this specifically for poke stop spins to collect gifts for friendship grind. As great as everything has been for me with the functionality of the device itself, I can't give it 5 stars. The glaring con is that after less than 4 months of using it, it has now refused to turn back on. The price tag is hefty(I paid $65), and for what it costs, I'd expect it to be more durable and longer lasting. I can't justify purchasing another one for how pricey it is if I'm only gonna get 4 months of usage. So if you're thinking of buying this, if you have disposable income and you're a player who wants great passive play, this is a great option. If you're more on a budget, this might not be something to consider since the price is so hefty and durability issues could leave you out of luck within a few months of purchasing.

solid device, I opted out for a rechargable one instead of the battery operated one. both are fine. I already carry a battery pack and did not want to also carry double AA batteries too. to each their own.

Bought yesterday, connected it immediately and it did connect to two devices and work initially, 20 minutes later it stops doing anything, I have storage and pokeballs and am in an area only about 5 Pokémon spawn at a time because I wanted to test catch speed. It straight will not do ANYTHING now even though it will connect. I have read and reread the manual, no help at all. I’ve turned it off and on and reconnected multiple times to no help, every now and then it’ll throw another pokeball but once every five minutes it disgustingly terrible, also would like to mention that this will only happen on a single device at a time. Also is advertised to stay connected and work with a device even if the devices is off or on another app, this is literally the ENTIRE PREMISE of this device’s functionality and it disconnects instantly to either being turned onto a different app or the device turning off. Actively kicking myself in the ass for now going with the official pogo+ IGNORE THE OTHER REVIEWS AND DO NOT BUY THIS CHEAP PLASTIC TRASH

I've tried the Trainer Club Gotcha and the original Gotcha as well as the pokeball plus. For single connections they are all manageable and if you understand the limits imposed by Niantic in the app (forced 1 hour disconnects from the PoGo app itself, forced prioritization of pokemon over spinning stops when both are enabled, lag from the app side when starting actions) then you can accept it for what it can do. Auto catch is best for when you are too preoccupied with raiding, walking, and other tasks in real life. Its the lowest catch rate (straight throw red pokeballs only which is a limit imposed by Niantic). Accept that you are using red balls you would trash anyway to catch pokemon you wouldn't have tried to catch anyway and ignore the pokemon that run away. And if you turn off pokemon and just spin stops automatically, I still consider it a win. All these things will spin stops while you are stuck waiting in a raid lobby. I consider it invaluable. And all the devices mentioned above will do it. Where this one stands out is the auto connection. Being able to leave this device in your pocket and reconnecting after Niantic forces it to disconnect is amazing after you realize how exhausting it is to pull other devices out, press the button on the device, press the button in the app, press the bluetooth notification to pair (Android 12 this really became a problem) and then sometimes the gotchas and pokeball plus go to sleep before making a connection and it fails to connect so you have to do it over spamming the button to keep the other devices from sleeping during the pairing process. If I'm running through my pockets with 2 phones in my hand, it becomes a juggling act. And niantic forces you to do this every hour so it's a distraction. Manageable for one person with one phone, but if you run 2 phones like me, you are going to have a rough time with other devices. Setup was a breeze. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the 4ish page quick start manual. Customize sound and notifications coming from the device. I ran into an issue with 1 minute disconnects on both my devices. One minute from connection to disconnects on both my phones. After troubleshooting, it turns out the culprit was an Android App called "Go Companion App" which integrates notifications of the Gotcha device and Go Plus device into the OS. Go Companion is a great app for the gotcha devices. I put in a custom android notification for Go Companion and set it up where when my gotcha disconnects, my phone would do a Pikachu sound to tell me I need to reconnect my Gotcha. Unfortunately, the only way I got the Duomon to stay connected past a minute was to disable the Go Companion service. The Duomon has been rock solid ever since. Since Duomon has its own notifications built into the device speaker, I think the Go Companion app becomes non-essential but is a godsend for Gotcha devices. One other thing I may need to update in this review is that I've yet to stress test running this in the field. The trainer club gotcha has the ability to connect to 2 phones but sees an absolutely massive dropoff in efficiency as it wouldn't seem to operate as fast for each phone as compared to if only one phone was connected. It would interact with the first phone to send an API request to the Gotcha and the other would sit there with a target, waiting for a response from the Gotcha. I quickly stopped trying to use Trainer Club Gotcha with 2 phones for this reason. However preliminary testing with the Duomon is that it is interacting immediately with both phones when API sends requests to the Duomon and thats all I can ask from the Duomon. This device literally does all it can with the restrictions imposed by Niantic software development. And here on day 1, I'm pretty happy with it.

UPDATE: After 5 months of using, sick of trying to get it to connect. When it connects, it's amazing. I have two accounts connecting. 1 has issues sometimes, the other device has horrible connection issues. Identical devices trying to connect. I would love this product if it was dependable. It spins pokestops no matter the speed. And farther away. But you have to get it to connect first!! I've been trying to find a different one to try that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But they all have horrible reviews. Guess I'll stick with what I have. Just doesn't work 1/2 the time lately. And the one I got my sister, she had issues with it using battery quickly. And I got her one in January. A month after I got mine and I have just changed batteries for second time. She has changed hers out constantly and turns off when not in use like myself. So she stopped using hers. Couldn't keep it on long enough to have other issues. So I don't think I would recommend this product any longer after 5 months of use!

I got this auto catcher to play Pokemon go with my wife. Amazing connectivity for 2 phones at the same time, good range and portable. We use it in the car and when we walk and thanks to it we enjoy Pokemon go much better. It is compact, fits in my pocket and comes with a silicone case to protect it. It's a life changer, worth the price! We have used it for a couple of years with zero issues and recommended it to oir friends.

Fácil de usar y su adaptabilidad de uso en los equipos, sigo probando

I have been considering purchasing one of these for awhile now. I have a GoPlus, several of the Gotcha’s, all models and a Ball and this is the best by far. It is so easy to connect, catches very fast and works at higher speeds. It is a little larger than other catchers but it still fits in my pocket or bag and because I don’t need to touch it at all after switching on it is ok to be in bag. Highly recommend this catcher. Wish I had bought one earlier.

This one is way better than the others. It's quite reliable. Has better Bluetooth range. Supports 2 phones, and is easy to operate. It is the best auto catcher I've used by far and I've tried a bunch. If you've never tried one, keep in mind a few things that all auto catchers have in common: - They disconnect after 1 hour. This is by design from the game maker, not related to this product. - They only work at speeds up to about 40kmph so this is better for walking or driving very slowly. - They only use regular balls so stock up. - They only try one time to catch and if they don't get it, it flees. - Catch rate is only about 40-50%. So why get one? Great for walking in the cold or for when you don't want to be on your phone all the time. It spins stops and catches without you doing anything. This thing just works in the background. It's pretty fantastic. On community days and special events you'll still want to manually catch though. This one uses AAA batteries but in my experience they last around a month or more. I only haveine on 3-4 hours a day FYI.

Works great! I love that it has 2 player capabilities so my husband can also use it when we are out running errands

Muy buen producto! Lo recomiendo ampliamente!
