Okay so this has just happened to me for the 2nd time since the Shadow Radar came out.
I paid the 200PD admission fee and clicked on a silhouette, I then got an error message that said "Error you are currently not on a hunt"
The green box comes up that typically shows the pokemon you emcountered but its completly blank and you have to refresh to get off the screen. Once you refresh it takes you back to the pay for admission screen, the 200PD is gone and you dont get to see what pokemom it was so if you havent found any Pokemon and this happens you will be down 200PD and will have none found.

You can then pay 200PD again to start a new hunt.

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I wanted to report it.


Also there is no way I could have clicked twice as im on mobile and i only tapped once, as mentioned this has only happened to me twice since the Shadow Radar came out.

Edit: Also want to note that this has happened on both of my WiFi connections.
1st time happened on the better connection, just now happened on the not so good but useable connection. So I dont believe its an issue from my WiFi.

@CatLady I sure can it happened again this morning.

The error message
The blank green box


As you can see this happened again on mobile. Though as mentioned I have had it happen on PC too. (In fact the 1st time I encountered this was on PC)

I don't know if it helps you since my situation was different, but one time I received a green blank box after I clicked a shadow of a different Pokémon. I had to click 'cancel your hunt' and the new hunt worked fine.

@SparkyFlame I've had that before but just refreshing your page should do it and keep your hunt.
However this bug does it at the start of the hunt so theres no Cancel hunt button and it just takes my PD and makes me start a new hunt.

Something I saw Riako ask in another thread, for a different bug with the Shadow Radar.

Do you think you could record your screen when you try to start a hunt? Preferably with mouse visible.

I just had the same thing happen (error message), so I can give more details, but I'm not 100% sure this is what happens/happened to Braixie.

I started a hunt and got Gyarados. As I already have one, I purposely broke the chain with an Exeggcute, but I didn't get the 'oops, broken chain' message. The prompt acted as if I got the same pokémon as I was hunting.

After clicking 'flee', the hunt continued on, but the next shadow I clicked gave the 'you're not currently on a hunt' prompt and a plain green background.

[I realized too late what was going on, so I forgot to take screenshots. I'll be sure to do so once it happens again]

The same thing has been happening to me.

I don’t have screenshots because I just angrily refreshed it every time, but basically the same thing as CatLady said.

Sometimes it will also happen after I’ve broke a chain, left the page, came back, and started a new hunt.

It doesn't have to be public. Usually you can select 'only visible to those with link', and then you won't need to fiddle with permissions and such (:

CatLady i will see if i can do that when i get the PC, I cant change the privacy setting while on phone, Id also rather send the link directly to any staff member who needs to see the video as some users names show up in the video and I was unable to edit the names out.
