Go-Tcha Evolve for Pokemon Go - Dare Red

Great product

Good building and sturdy material. Long lasting battery. It has been a huge help to level up my account and to catch thousands of Pokemon, have full inventory of items and catch dozens of shiny Pokemon. It is somewhat tricky and hard for an adult to remove the strap for charging, so any children may find it too difficult. The only other bad thing is the short reach of its Bluetooth so if you get the device more than 4 or 5 steps away from the phone it will disconnect. Some times reconnecting is impossible so you have to turn off the Pokemon Go Plus option within the game, restart the phone in order to reconnect the device.

Pros: catches Pokémon and spins stops effectively. Cons: loses connection often Works really well if worn as a watch while the game is open on your phone in your hand. Catch rate seems to be the same as all the other versions (50% or so). If you put the phone in your pocket or tab out of the game, the Bluetooth connection is easily lost. Best use is while you are actively playing the game in an area where there are a lot of Pokémon to catch and stops to spin.

Just bad design ruined an otherwise would-have- been-great product. I waited to review this gotcha because when I first got it last June 2020, I had a gut feeling this charging port would be the cause of its demise. If anyone hasn’t purchased this, the gotcha evolve needs to be taken apart at the strap which connects to the display (See pictures). Taking it apart needs some muscle and eventually it became the weak point. At the time of writing this review is my last charge for it because as soon as I tried to put the strap back on, the port broke and now has exposed wire/metal. This saddens me because while it lasted, it caught Pokemons and spun stops flawlessly on iOS. Two months of life is not worth it.

This watch is good for doing things like setting up an incense and then raiding or battling, so that you can catch things while not actively watching for them. It is abysmal at catching PokeStops reliably in any way. My PokeBall Plus does a more consistent job with that. Otherwise, it's good for auto-catching bulk commons and for when you're doing other things. That's about all. One complaint I do have is that as I plug it in to charge, whether I do it directly into a wall unit, or use an extension cord, it's rubbing off the paint on the INSIDE of the screen. So you're basically seeing chipping on the inside of the edges and the light is showing through. It's very cheap-looking and disappointing. There's no way I can see for stopping it, either. I got this watch on "sale" at a still very steep price. Paying this much for this item should guarantee better quality and that it functions better at what it's made for. I want to love it as I have it as a keychain in a holster and it's so much easier to carry around (and less worry about thrice-expensive, limited things breaking like my PokeBall Plus). I just can't with how it currently runs. I miss probably about 8 Stops out of every 10 (many times I don't get ANY of them), and PokeStops are fairly rare in my area, so getting every one I possibly can is necessary.
