What is your speed variable? Is your pokebank full? Do you have pokeballs?

[Yayt]

3.8 m/s, should be below the speed limit (comes down to 13.7 km/h). Also since the pokemon is never caught it keeps encountering the same one and gets stuck in a loop, it does still move to new places.

[iamthasasquatch]

sounds like the pokebank is full

[Yayt]

The application says it isn't, also I checked in the real app and even though it has more then the application thinks it has, it still isn't full. Edit: I think it also has something to do with the other issue that the application is not transfering pokemon right all the time.

[jinyu1993]

I m getting the same error as well, could be due to insufficient pokeball of that type?

[Yayt]

That's the problem! It kept trying to use ultra balls even though I don't have them!

That's the problem! It kept trying to use ultra balls even though I don't have them!

Impossible

Also unrelated issue. Stay on topic, please. Talk in eg. #309, or one of the other dozens of issues about that. People seriously need to search before opening new issues...

I've been having this issue as well. I've been messing around with it I believe the pokemon may have disappeared since it updated the map last, and it keeps trying to capture it. It seems to happen randomly to me I have 50/50/50 balls and 125/250 pokebank so I don't believe it's either of those.

[Yayt]

Well it happens only with ultra balls, and only after it has gotten an ultra ball from a pokestop and used it to catch a pokemon, then when there are no ultra balls left it starts doing this.

[dyoung81]

Just happened to me with greatballs not ultra, and I've had it happen with pokeballs early today Also it had just caught a pokemon prior to this with a greatball, not a pokestop

Ok, seems like I can some what re-produce the problem.

Apparently if you hold the scrollbar in the cmd window it holds(stops?) the threads and you get lot of funky errors.

Just happened, it got an ultraball, caught a caterpie, then still tried to use the ultra ball.

Ah, thanks

Stepped through the code. Major ItemBag bug in the Java API. Reported it.
