Frequently Asked Questions

Short answer a wipe. The Dev plans to start fresh on a new server setup for 1.7 and all obtained pokemon from there he plans to let you keep and roll over into any new game/Update.

The plan is after you beat the gym leaders on 1.7 you will be able to get your previous 1.5 version shiny pokemon you caught but not legendarys.

Currently most Poké balls work. Excluding levels those are not implemented.  Catch rate of balls is as follows.

Pokeball - 1x

Greatball - 1.5x

Ultra ball- 2x

Fastball - 3x if the pokemon you are trying to catch has a base speed over 100 it is 1x if not.

Netball - 3x works on bug and water type pokemon or it acts as 1x catch rate

In version 1.5 of pokemon VR this was a wide known glitch. The only way to fix is to rest the Gane. Try not to grab items while in-between load screen to prevent the big from occurring as much.

In version 1.7 this bug should be less prevelant but it still did occur on occasion. 

Yes and Yes. 

The spawn rate for Shinny's are 1 in 4096. 

Then Legendry's are 1 in 1000

Rates could change.

Simply kill Pokémon or battle trainers.

defeating gym leaders gives large amounts of money about 20k after defeating all 8.

and all trainers including gym leaders reset on Fridays.

Most items are currently not working. 

Some examples of working items are Poke balls and tm's, I have heard some items work through your in game menu only. not in battles like, Potions supposedly work this way However I have not confirmed all working items this way.

The watch on your right wrist indicates the time you are in from 4:00-10:00 is Morning, 10:00-20:00 is Day, and 20:00-4:00 is Night.

However every time you load a battle or change maps the load screen slightly lags your watch done by a fraction of a second but all those battle and map changes add up. over time your watch will show the incorrect time you will be running slow so. So i recommend resetting your game every couple hours of play to make sure your time match's correctly.
