Mega Rayquaza Raid Day in Japan was supposed to be a highlight for Pokémon GO players worldwide, but instead it resulted in an unexpected server outage. At 2:00 PM JST, just as the event officially began, Pokémon GO’s servers crashed, leaving many players unable to access the game. The DownDetector platform saw a massive increase in error messages within minutes, indicating a global disruption.
The problems occurred right when the Mega Rayquaza Raids became active. This caused considerable frustration as many players attempted to join the raids remotely in order to snag a Rayquaza early. Reports of endless loading screens, error messages such as “Failed to get data from server,” and incorrect interactions with arenas came from Japan, Australia, and parts of Europe and North America.
At the time of reporting, there was no official statement from Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO. It remains unclear whether the event will be extended, postponed or compensated as with previous cancellations. Players should keep an eye on in-game news and official Pokémon GO social media channels for possible updates or adjustments.
Such technical issues raise questions about the scalability and reliability of Pokémon GO’s server infrastructure. There have been similar incidents in the past that caused dissatisfaction in the community. The challenge is to provide an infrastructure that can handle the rush of such major events without causing outages.
