I bought the Duomon a couple of months after it released and I am very happy on the performance. The connection is solid (you can go far from the device and still be connected (very good if another player is using your Duomon), and it catches and spins fast which is the main selling point to me.

Some cons.
1. It is expensive. I have the Brook and Gotcha evolved before this. It is the most money I spent on an auto-catcher.
2. It uses AAA battery. I bought rechargeable batteries just for this.
3. The device itself seems flimsy. After 2 months of usage, the clip that keeps the cover on the battery just randomly broke. I never dropped it prior to this happening since it's always in my bag whenever I use it. The device is fine and I can still use it. I just put some masking tape on the battery gate so that it stays shut. It's just a bit of a hassle whenever I need to change the battery since I also need to re-apply the tape after opening the battery gate.

Overall, I still recommend the DuoMon.

Just recently bought the duomon a few weeks ago and it’s easily the best device ever. I own most of the other ones and always hated how much they disconnected or just didn’t work very well.

I bought the Brook Auto catcher which lets you connect to 2 phones. But honestly the ability to recognize stops and Pokémon’s is pretty slow. Like sometimes it’s so quick, it catches faster than hand catching. But most of the times it takes so long to recognize that even if there is a pokestop or not.


Biggest glitch is that if you have no regular balls, and there is a bunch of pokestops or Pokémon’s around, it’s going to get confused on what to do and would keep locking on Pokémons for the longest time and then won’t catch them because obviously you don’t have the regular poke ballsz

Still I would say it connects to 2 phones and when it works it’s actually amazing. And amazing keychain holder design with rechargeable body. And a great and diligent lighting system explained on what is happening inside the system.

The main benefit that u get with all auto connect gotchas is having it ALWAYS be spinning and catching as long as u check it every so often.
Meaning u can stack up ultras and pinap berries before big events. Aka u never have to spin a stop manually again.

I dont think i have in the past 2-3yrs since i got my duomon.
i of course have it on spinning stops during events but having it catch makes no sense IMO. U have a higher chance at getting a catch using a ultra even with out a nice or great catch circle; and u get more candies as u can add a pinap quickly on top before u quick catch in AR mode n run.

Point being the auto resource getting before events that u need them for is the REAL golden goose with these devices.

Cool to see an update on this subject! If you’ve been watching the regional tournaments you’ll see even the players on the stage wear a gotcha evo lol you’ll be fine with it 😊

[kibagami]

I wish this came out last month. I bought one and I think I bought the wrong one :( I hate my Pokemon Go Plus. The Bluetooth drops all the time, I press the button nothing happens sometimes. I find myself missing more pokemon than doing it manually. I think I will need a new one. I'm using an Galaxy S21 phone. Great video. Ottawa guy here as well. ;)

[BertoK]

The Brooks Revviver+has been my favorite. One plus you didn't mention was the angular design so that it doesn't get caught on as many things. I do have some issues with it connecting to my phone at time, but that is probably just my phone/game.

[DHJakon]

I'm loyal to the Pocket Egg Catcher. On heavy play the batteries last about 2 months (using Amazon basic AAs). The signal strength is better than the gotchas and the go+. I don't care for speed too much, if I'm on a heavy catch event, I'm gonna hand catch and leave it on spin only. This was one of the first devices that can be reconnected through in game only, and that's what sold me. I've had mine for about 5 years and back then it was single account only. That being said, I wouldn't get it now but wait for the new official catcher and see how it works.

[danthekangaman]

The duomon has been a staple for my drive to work everyday, I can start it up and forget it because even at speeds of over 45 mph, it still spins stops when the game is in the background. I saw someone in the comments mentioned this tip and it’s a very valid point, everything to do with your autocatcher will work better if it’s running in the background (I guess it doesn’t have to update the on screen visuals which speeds it up)

[hh-lghe]

I love how you do videos about auto catchers from time to time

[fraxz]

You talked me into a duomon for my wife and I last year. We play pretty hard sometimes, using it for 4 to 6 hours solid. I'm still using the first set of batteries. With no screen, the ui feels like an old 90s toy when changing settings, which is ok.

[Thomasr]

I take a exacto knife to the rubber tab inside the wrist band to make it easier to come off to recharge. Strap still stays tight in place but slide off easier to recharge, have done this simple mod to dozens of Gotchas and never had a complaint. Inside the wristband there is a square nub that locks the band to the watch. Cutting that out makes the band use the rubber resistance instead of "Locking" into the band.

[ianoleary]

I had the Gotcha evolve for awhile until it just stopped working one day, I also felt like I was gonna snap it every time I tried to take the band off to charge it. I’ve used the ball plus with a clip from Etsy since then and it’s worked really well. The vibration was annoying at first but it actually is kinda nice to know it’s working and I just keep it in my bigger pocket. I did preorder the new one coming out this summer so we’ll see.

[blueystonedhouse]

My favourite is the Brook Pocket Auto Catch LIGHTNING. I love that it has a physical button to press so you can press it through your clothes without looking, and you can't press it accidentally. Also the settings only change on the app, which is a lot better than the likes of the Gotcha (which I had 2 of before). It's so simple and works really well. My only complaint is that the strap sometimes comes undone on its own if I'm carrying my toddler on my arm. The little button gets caught on the end of the strap so it doesn't completely fall off though. I still MUCH prefer it over my Gotchas I had previously.

[florenciohernandezjr.]

I’ve been using the Pocket Egg for months.. I like it.. I keep it on at all times and just connect to it from the Pokémon go screen when I want and only have to change out double A batteries every 2-3 months. From this video only one I’d switch it out for is Duomon

[NtelGaRho]

i was searching for hour for a video for auto catch. legit i watched your last two from 1 years old XD THX GOD Daxi coming in clutch

[aidanrmacgregor]

Some things I've noticed:
The Pokeball Plus does spin pokestops automatically with a massive caveat: there must be a pokemon in it. New pokeball pluses have a Mew in it (It's for Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee games). If the Mew is still in there, poke stops spin automatically. If you've taken your Mew out into Let's Go (or someone lied in their amazon description and the ball is Used, watch out for that) and not returned or replaced with another mon, the ball doesn't autospin in Pogo. Took me a while to figure out why it auto spun for the first day I played with it and not after that -- I started playing Let's Go Pikachu with my Mew and didn't put any other pokemon in the ball after that.

[Freeze_On]

Thank you! Just ordered the Gotcha Evolve! We appreciate you buying all of these and testing them so that we don’t have to do it. Keep up the amazing work

[HulteGHG]

I watched this video in German class so I couldn’t really concentrate fully on the video but I found it helpful thank you dax 👍
