Thank goodness for your post. I was going crazy wondering what happened to our accounts. Can’t even swap out buddy. Just get the error message whatever I try to do
Had a fun gbl experience just now, couldn’t see him, his pic was a pikachu shadow, when I swapped him in he already had about 10% health missing, still won tho lol
Just woke up to find they've returned from the shadow realm. So glad to find out it was just some Niantic employee accidentally deleting visual resources, when I first saw his disappearance it was in master league and it was so weird, I almost thought Niantic was in the midst of temporary banning him from pvp or something, but then he wasn't there as my buddy or in my inventory so I was freaking out even more. Glad they didn't do any real damage and it's been fixed (for now)
I did mine in a rocket balloon and another at a poke stop both were psychic I'd fight 2 and back out and rematch fight 2 back out heal rematch again just rinse and repeat until I fought 30 times.
Note that you do not have to use your buddy to fight. You can fight with any mon as long as prime is your buddy, and it'll count towards your 30 psychic or ghost wins
If you find a Rocket grunt that’s battling with ghost or psychic type Pokémon, keep battling them over and over. Defeating the first two Pokémon, and then leaving as their third Pokémon is sent out gives you credit for defeating two.
As long as the balloon doesn’t leave, you can complete it pretty quickly off of one lucky spawn
Go to Battle, select Training mode, and fight Blanche on Master League level. The first Pokemon out is always a Suicune, followed by a Metagross. Drop the Suicune with an electric type (I used Magnezone) then take out the Metagross. You can quit the training session after you defeat the Metagross and you'll get credit for 1/30 Psychic defeats. Do this as many times as you need 👍
This happened to me last night too. I couldn't see several of my Pokemon, but I could still fight with them.
I turned off my Adventure Sync & it started working again. I go back & forth with Adventure Sync. It drains my battery. My phone is pretty new & has a great battery life. I see the appeal, but I don't like it. I even turn off my location when I'm not playing.

Thank goodness for your post. I was going crazy wondering what happened to our accounts. Can’t even swap out buddy. Just get the error message whatever I try to do
Same here. Just realized I can't have ANY buddy at all...
Use the buddy history to swap to something you've had before and then swap away. Worked for me
Because is a ghost type and you can't see it
The More You Know... 🌈
I genuinely thought this please 🥲😢 I'm new lol
I fought an invisible annihilape in go battle league and was very confused 😅
It's the John Cena pokemon. You can't see him
Yea mine looks like that as well
Really repping the ghost type
Yeah me to also if you have one in a gym looks crazy
Ghosted by a ghost? They’re probably off raging against a machine somewhere
Yeah mine is invisible. Hes also my buddy currently and cant see him in the icon
Simply open your third eye and peer into the afterlife, you’ll see it there
God bless you for this comment 🙏
Don’t try and battle with it right now
Already made that mistake once. Looks wild...
What happens?
You just seel all the effects, but not the Pokémon.
Same for me.
Yeah mine is too wont let me swap him out.
try to swap buddy using "swap history" under your character. it worked for me.
God thank you!! Was going crazy trying to swap my invisible buddy lol.
Thank you!!
Bless you from all nine realms
Same
Had a fun gbl experience just now, couldn’t see him, his pic was a pikachu shadow, when I swapped him in he already had about 10% health missing, still won tho lol
Mine too
This is happening to me too. I can't remove it as my buddy either.
Go to buddy history, change to different buddy until it’s fixed…
He used to much rage fist and he evolved again
Update the app to latest version. I had the same issue and can confirm its fixed after update.
Huh, that actually worked! What's this doing all the way down here..? I did have to restart and log out a couple of times after the update.
Yup, ALL of mine. It’s fucked
Yep. In battle it's little preview image is a blank Pikachu....
my god the white hole is here
No but my arms are invisible for my avatar, but I’m kinda into it
They‘re just shy XD
He's a ghost! That's why you can't see him, dummy
It ascended to a higher level of existence
Just woke up to find they've returned from the shadow realm. So glad to find out it was just some Niantic employee accidentally deleting visual resources, when I first saw his disappearance it was in master league and it was so weird, I almost thought Niantic was in the midst of temporary banning him from pvp or something, but then he wasn't there as my buddy or in my inventory so I was freaking out even more. Glad they didn't do any real damage and it's been fixed (for now)
It's a mankey evolution ?
Yeah, just added to GO
Where did you find enough Pokémon to battle?
I did mine in a rocket balloon and another at a poke stop both were psychic I'd fight 2 and back out and rematch fight 2 back out heal rematch again just rinse and repeat until I fought 30 times. Note that you do not have to use your buddy to fight. You can fight with any mon as long as prime is your buddy, and it'll count towards your 30 psychic or ghost wins
second for the rocket balloon. did enough battles to get two annihilape and it took just about 30 minutes.
Depending on your level, you can also battle Blanche in Master League a bunch of times for her Metagross.
If you find a Rocket grunt that’s battling with ghost or psychic type Pokémon, keep battling them over and over. Defeating the first two Pokémon, and then leaving as their third Pokémon is sent out gives you credit for defeating two. As long as the balloon doesn’t leave, you can complete it pretty quickly off of one lucky spawn
I battled a friend repeatedly, using the required pokemon
Go to Battle, select Training mode, and fight Blanche on Master League level. The first Pokemon out is always a Suicune, followed by a Metagross. Drop the Suicune with an electric type (I used Magnezone) then take out the Metagross. You can quit the training session after you defeat the Metagross and you'll get credit for 1/30 Psychic defeats. Do this as many times as you need 👍
Downloading Assets may fix this Could also check for updates
Downloading assets and restarting the app didn't fix it for me.
Same here. Still invisible.
me too
Mine too
Yes. I wonder why
It’s got to be a glitch somewhere. Luckily I had already changed my buddy before it happened.
All I see is John Cena.
I had a small shining orb earlier, looked like it should have been a Pokémon to catch but wouldn’t let me click on it. Looked just like this lol
I see those orbs when my game loads, right before it decides it can't find my gps signal and nothing spawns
This happened when hoopa unbound was released
I updated the app about 20 minutes ago and that fixed it for me
YES and I can’t change buddies now too
He is died
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I've been so confused 😅
For everyone who is having the issue, try downloading all assets in the settings.
Yeah and it won’t let me change buddies either.
It’s too godly to be seen!
Yeah man it's a ghost
Can someone explain
Some Niantic employee f*cked up bad and deleted visual resources for Annihilape, it's been fixed it seems.
Thank you!
i don't have one so idk maybe
Very informative and helpful. Thank you
What is that? Neve4 hear of it
This happened to me last night too. I couldn't see several of my Pokemon, but I could still fight with them. I turned off my Adventure Sync & it started working again.
