Frequently asked questions

Community Popular Places are additional, community-suggested teleport destinations with coordinates. After review and approval, they can be selected in the detailed route view for an existing route timezone. They do not add new route timezones or event sessions.

Use the public suggestion form to submit a place name, timezone and coordinates, with an optional comment. Suggestions are reviewed before publication. Submission does not guarantee approval, and duplicate or unsuitable entries may be rejected.

Yes. If several approved places are available in the same route timezone, you can choose another location in the detailed view. The selected coordinates and copied teleport schedule reflect your choice, while the event session time stays the same.

Select an existing event or manually enter the event date, local start time and event duration.

The Teleport Plan calculates when the event takes place at different locations around the world and creates your personal chronological teleport schedule.

Your own time zone is used to show when each location can be reached according to your local time.

For worldwide Pokémon GO events, the entered event time is treated as local time at each target location.

For example, if an event starts on September 25 at 6:00 PM, the planner uses September 25 at 6:00 PM local time for every target location.

Because the locations are in different time zones, these local event times correspond to different times in your own time zone. This makes it possible for the same event to occur consecutively at different locations.

Cooldown is the waiting period between certain location-dependent in-game actions after changing your in-game location over a significant distance.

The required waiting time depends, among other things, on the distance between the locations involved.

Certain location-dependent actions may fail while a cooldown is still active.

For shorter distances, the actual required cooldown may be less than 120 minutes.

However, this Teleport Plan is primarily designed for worldwide event sessions. The suggested locations are therefore often very far apart and located in different time zones.

For route calculation, the planner therefore uses a fixed conservative cooldown of 120 minutes.

Typical location-dependent actions that can trigger a cooldown include:

• Catching a wild Pokémon
• Dropping a ball on the encounter screen
• Feeding a wild Pokémon a Berry
• Spinning a PokéStop
• Placing a Pokémon in a Gym
• Feeding certain Gym defenders
• Participating in Gym battles
• Performing catch or spin actions using supported automatic devices

Actions that normally do not trigger a location-dependent cooldown include:

• Teleporting without performing a location-dependent action afterward
• Simply encountering or viewing a wild Pokémon
• Hatching Eggs
• Opening or sending Gifts
• Evolving or powering up Pokémon
• Trading or transferring Pokémon
• Taking snapshots
• Changing your Buddy
• Using healing items, TMs or evolution items
• Using Incense, Lucky Eggs or Star Pieces
• Deleting items from storage
• Participating in PvP or Team Leader battles

The Teleport Plan does not know the exact time of your last relevant action during an event session.

It therefore conservatively assumes that the last relevant action may occur near the end of the event session.

The event list is not a complete Pokémon GO event calendar, and the Teleport Plan is not a raid planner.

Saved events are optional templates prepared by the administrator. They are mainly intended for events that can be played multiple times on the same day across different time zones, such as Community Days or Spotlight Hours.

If an event is not saved, you can simply enter its name, date, local start time and duration manually. Route planning works the same way.

Preferred route targets help the Teleport Plan choose a city or time zone when several available destinations offer the same event start time. They do not define where you personally start.

If several suitable route targets have the same event start time, preferred targets are considered first. Other destinations remain available; preferences do not force a particular route.

Within a selected time zone, the default hotspot is shown first. You can then select another available hotspot for that time zone. The search field only filters existing route targets by destination, country or time zone; it is not a general city search.

“Your time” shows when a session takes place in your selected personal timezone. By default, this timezone is detected automatically by your browser and can be changed in the settings.

The local event time is the clock time at the destination itself. For example, it may be 3:00 PM for you while the event starts locally at 6:00 PM at the destination.

The route target determines the location or timezone whose event session is used for your Teleport Plan.

Within a route target, specific teleport targets may be available. These provide a particular place and coordinates that you can copy directly. The event time remains tied to the route target’s timezone.

✓ DONE means that the session has already passed. 🟢 UP NEXT marks the next planned session. 🔴 EVENT RUNNING indicates a session that is currently active, and ○ LATER marks later sessions.

The status indicators and countdown update automatically based on your selected timezone and the calculated session times.

No user account is required to use the public planner. Your planner settings and preferred route targets are stored locally in your browser so they remain available on the same device and browser.

For the anonymous usage statistic, only a successful Teleport Plan creation is counted. No personal planner content, user accounts, or individual visitor identifiers are stored.

This determines the size of the time window used for your Teleport Plan. The 12 or 24 hours are not the duration of the event.

The time window is based on the start times of the selected event sessions. With a 24-hour window, sessions can extend from the first start to another start on the following day.

No. The Teleport Plan is a scheduling tool. It does not know your actual in-game location or the time of your last in-game action.

The calculated times therefore serve as planning guidance based on your selected settings.
