Error 26 in Pokémon GO is currently preventing many trainers from playing. Poor timing, as the Valentine’s Day event is currently running.
Since the morning of February 14, 2018, error messages have increasingly occurred in Pokémon GO. Trainers often notice error 26. Other players complain about login issues and bugs in the game.
Error 26, network error, login issue
Currently, Pokémon GO is not running optimally for trainers. Error messages frequently pop up, preventing trainers from catching Pokémon, for example.
These problems have been occurring repeatedly for a few hours. Sometimes, it makes playing impossible; other trainers experience the problem less frequently and are hardly affected.
- It is frustrating that Pokémon cannot be caught at times; they cannot even be clicked on the map.
- Additionally, raids are interrupted during battles, frustrating trainers.
- Others complain that monsters cannot be transferred.
- Moreover, the login servers seem to be affected as well. Players report that they cannot log in.
On Reddit, user deurbell writes that he was kicked from a Rayquaza raid due to a network error with his raid group.
Poor timing for error
This is particularly bitter on this day because the Valentine’s Day event is active in the game. This brings higher spawns of Luvdisc and the triple Stardust rewards when catching Luvdisc or Chansey.
Problems resolved?
So far, there has been no feedback from Niantic regarding these issues. Some trainers report that they no longer experience errors, others continue to have problems playing. We will update this article when we have more information about the problems and if Niantic responds.
