How to Fix ‘Battle Not Found’ Error

There are many different activities in Pokemon Go. You can hunt various rare Pokémon, train them, and, of course, fight other Trainers. The game has several PvP modes. Players can fight remotely and face-to-face to get the full Pokémon Trainer experience.

First, you need to make sure that you can participate in PvP battles. To do this, your character must be at least level 10. Also, for remote battles, you must be best or ultra friends. Otherwise, you will be able to fight with your friends only by being close to them.

Next, check the date and time settings on your device. By default, the time and date are updated automatically using the network. However, if for some reason this feature has been disabled, Pokemon Go may not work correctly.

The third way is rather banal. You must clear the cache on your device. And although this is the most common step for fixing various bugs, it works.

And the last way is to change the connection. If a ‘Battle Not Found’ Error appears in the game when you are connected to WiFi, try connecting via Mobile Data. If you usually play via Mobile Data, then connect to WiFi.

Pokemon Go is an incredibly fun game, but it still needs a lot of work. And while the developers have not fixed this unpleasant Error, you can use our tips. And while you are here, take a look at our guide on how to battle another trainer with your Buddy.
