Eevee appears to be able to evolve into Sylveon
Issue description: A Trainer can attempt to evolve their Eevee into Sylveon, however, the evolution does not take place and the Trainer receives a network error, as Sylveon is not available yet. Additionally, for some Trainers, it appears that this evolution uses 25 Eevee Candies. However, the Candies are automatically replaced in their Item Bag after the evolution fails.
Issue status: Resolved in release (205.1)

Issue description: If a Trainer removes their Pokémon’s nickname and saves the removal, instead of reverting to the Pokémon species name, the nickname will display instead.

Evolving a Buddy sometimes causes the game to crash and get stuck on the post-login warning.
Issue description: Sometimes Trainers evolve their Buddy, and find that their Buddy disappears. This can be resolved if the Trainer is able to add a Buddy from any of their existing Pokémon while the game is still responsive. However, if they are unable to do so, the game will eventually become unresponsive and lock the player into the “Do not trespass” or “Do not drive” warnings indefinitely.

One thought on “Niantic updates list of Pokémon GO known issues currently being investigated by its engineering team as of April 23”

  1. I used the kira eevee and received the network error and now I can not evolve my eevee into sylveon. It is acting as though i have already got the sylveon and can not use the name trick now.
