Pokemon Go recently introduced a new variety of raid battles called the Elite Raids which are focused on in-person play.
These raids emerge from Elite Raid Eggs that hatch after 24 hours and players only get 30 minutes to complete them.
Hoopa Unbound is the first Elite Raid boss and whosoever defeats it, gets the chance to capture it.
Pokemon Go Hoopa Elite Raid rewards spawning outside bonus zone
Many Pokemon Go players (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) are reporting an issue where the Hoopa Elite Raid rewards keep spawning outside the bonus zone.
Players are supposed to capture a rare Pokemon in order to claim the Elite Raid rewards. These Pokemon appear only for a limited period of time after defeating Hoopa.
However, many are unable to capture them as they keep relocating outside the spawn bonus zone making it impossible for players to claim rewards.
Affected players have tried restarting the app but it only logs them out of the game.
Rare Pokemon not spawning
Apart from rare Pokemon spawning outside the bonus zone, some are also facing an issue where the spawns don’t appear at all.
Players have tried waiting some time for the rare spawns to appear after defeating Hoopa. However, neither the timer nor the elite spawns show up.
Some Pokemon Go players have even completed the Hoopa Elite Raid multiple times, but none of the spawns or rewards ever appear.
Unfortunately, Niantic has not acknowledged either of the issues so players might have to wait indefinitely for the team to come up with a permanent fix.
We’ll keep tabs on further developments and update the article as and when something noteworthy comes up.
