Pokemon GO: All Known Glitches and How to Fix Them

Distance Not Changing

What is it?: This bug probably happens more frequently than you’re aware of it. Sometimes the game will not register that you’ve been moving forward in a certain directions and won’t update the footprint markings for the Pokemon, thus making it appear as if the Pokemon is always the same distance away regardless of where you go.

Solution: This one is a fairly easy fix, if you are chasing down a Pokemon and nothing seems to have changed, restart the application. It will then show you any updated information on said Pokemon, allowing you to see if you’re getting closer. Also, when you’re walking always check your Pokemon GO list in the bottom right to see if it’s altering at all. If it isn’t, the game may have bugged and need to be restarted.
