Pro tip: buy rechargeable AAA batteries. In fact, I would suggest buying all kinds of rechargeable batteries for anything in general. I have ~8-10 of AAA and AA batteries each, I use them for flashlights and other household items all the time. If you use rechargeable batteries, the standby mode becomes soooooo OP, but yeah I agree there should be a charging port in the event we would like to recharge the batteries without switching rechargeable batteries every ~20 days.
good review, all i'd have to disagree with is the battery comments, it's nice to be able to swap it out to have power instantly whenever you need, and the lithium battery that would be in it if it was rechargeable would eventually wear out, and if you really want to you can get rechargeable AAA's
They could have the best of both worlds. Do it like an Xbox controller. It takes batteries, but you can also charge a battery pack inside it. I’m just glad they took my video to heart and added the on/off switch
Yes, they changed future versions of the product to include an on/off switch. Trust me when I say that the unit I have did not include one and it was considered a feature
I have the dual catchmon and battery is so much better. I have so many things to charge already its so much better to just go grab some batteries real quick and have full charged device.
Dude you’re killing me... 😂 They sent me a white unit and it does not have an on/off switch. It being Always-On is a feature that they advertise. Now I do see there is a black one out there that has an on off switch, but they don’t advertise that on their website and it’s not the unit I was given for review.
@@BenderTubeOG looks like there is a white version with a switch on it as well (based on pictures at www.lazada.com.ph/products/megacom-pocket-dual-catchmon-for-pokemon-go-tcha-i317418473-s653982646.html ). It doesn't seem to be based on US vs non-US, since there's a US customer who got one with a switch on the back in December 2019: www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx3BOHQT8DGY0HQ/ref=ask_dp_lsw_al_hza?asin=B07PHJJD3Z The daily gotcha connection issues sound intimidating, so I'm getting a black dual catchmon and crossing my fingers for the switch option.
@@tammywallace7951 I have been using a black dual catchmon with the switch on the back every day since I bought it. I have not really had any problems with it, and it has made my quarentine life much more enjoyable (I have stops it can spin from my home, so I have the best case scenario). I love that it gives me an excuse to go excercise, because every time I go for a long run or a bike I am rewarded with hundreds of pokemon it caught while I was out. The only money I've spend on pokemon go was gofest 2020 and this, it has been 100% worth the money for me.
Do you have 2 devices and accounts to play at the same time? Does yours have the now added on/off switch? If yes to both of those then it’s not a bad option, but only because those batteries aren’t being wasted
You need to be using two different phones. If you are using two phones and can’t connect both at the same time then you aren’t utilizing the 2nd Bluetooth connection from the catchmon
for me, after owning two gothcas because first one randomly decided that "nah im not gonna work at all or see that useless magnetic strip charger" only for it to work fine first with the new charger from the replacement and then later both working fine on the old "broken" charger too. reason why i'm going with dial catchamon 2022 instead, even thou i do not have two accounts is that awful 2-6h battery life on the thing with vibrator turned off. it would randomly work fine for 6+h and then on other times only barely survive those current 3h cd events. so i much rather get a 24 pack of aaa batteries, then get 8 months of standby/playtime from that, instead of fiddling around with that horrible magnetic charger thing. if it was similar Qi wireless charger like most phones or many earbud cases are, then it coud just reliably charge through that. but no! now i have to fiddle around with it for few minutes, and then only if i don't even look at it will it stay charging. it literally feels like if loud sneeze from my upstairs neighbor could knock it off from that loose thing altogether.
I play on a phone with an app from the play store and another from the Galaxy store. Will I be able to use this device with two accounts on the same Samsung phone?
Were you able to find this out? I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I play on 2 accounts at the same time with split screen so this would be great if I could use it on both accounts at the same time. Right now I only use it on my main account while I manually catch on my second account.
I wasn’t able to try this but if you have the device why not try? It should have 2 separate Bluetooth beacons so your phone would be able to connect to both I assume.
I mean you have to have pogo running to use a gotcha or plus device. If you’re asking if you can catch Pokémon yourself, you would either have to beat the gotcha to it or disable the setting. PvP, raids, and gym battles can still be done with the device connected
If I split screen on the same phone, will it still work? (Playing 2 different accounts on 1 phone; I can do this on my S10 Plus). I wanna buy this as a gift for a friend
I don’t have a galaxy phone to test that out unfortunately. Sounds like it might work if you do split screen with the play store and galaxy store versions. Again though, I can’t test it out so it’s just a guess
I’m not exactly sure what you mean. $80 is the price of the product. Not all Pokémon go plus devices are $80. They range from $30-$60. This one can connect to two phones at the same time so they decided they will charge twice as much.
Great video bro and this is why i love big boned people, me included :) Because we always lazy and want to get some things done with shortcuts so a device like this a nice but im still happy with my evolve.
Yeah but that wasn’t the point. I think I even suggested at one point that they should just add a port so I could charge those batteries inside the device. Also keep in mind that my model does not have an off switch so it’s just running.

Apparently the catchmon is very slow compared to gotcha. That is the biggest drawback for me in getting one.
Yeah randomizing the time it takes to start a capture probably wasn't a great idea
No On/Off switch? I'm looking on the back of mine, and next to the battery compartment is the On/Off switch.
Yes, they changed future versions of the product to include an on/off switch. Trust me when I say that the unit I have did not include one and it was considered a feature
@@BenderTubeOG I believe you... I was thinking I was crazy for a second when you said it.
Thank you.... I've been waiting for this vid... good stuff bud
You’re welcome

To each his own I guess
There is an on off button on my dual catchmon
Dude you’re killing me... 😂

@@nsaulnier8692 So how do you like the Black Catchmon or do you prefer the Gotcha Ranger?
@@tammywallace7951 I have been using a black dual catchmon with the switch on the back every day since I bought it.

Man they really should have sent over the one with the on/off switch! 🤣
Okay so if I’m debating this and the ranger, what would you suggest? :)
That’s up to you really. I’d personally go with the ranger
I just bought this. But now that i watched this video and thinking twice... Did I make a mistake?
Do you have 2 devices and accounts to play at the same time? Does yours have the now added on/off switch? If yes to both of those then it’s not a bad option, but only because those batteries aren’t being wasted
Opps, did you break it?
Surprisingly no. That cover saved it from my destruction
Could they not update firmware via bluetooth if they wanted?
Yes they could, but they don’t have an app either. I was trying to kill 2 birds with one port
I can connect to two accounts, but not at the same time. How do I fix this?
You need to be using two different phones. If you are using two phones and can’t connect both at the same time then you aren’t utilizing the 2nd Bluetooth connection from the catchmon
if its connected to 2 phones does the second phone have to be present for it to still catch pokemon for that acc
Yes both phones need to be in Bluetooth range
Use rechargeable batteries
Dude it’s 2020. It should have a rechargeable battery built in. The competition has it and I feel like this is one of the ways the product can improve
There is a on and off button tho...
There is on newer versions. Not the one they sent me.
Thanks for making the video! Will it work with 1 IOS Apple and one Android phone? Thanks.
Yes!
for me, after owning two gothcas because first one randomly decided that "nah im not gonna work at all or see that useless magnetic strip charger" only for it to work fine first with the new charger from the replacement and then later both working fine on the old "broken" charger too.
reason why i'm going with dial catchamon 2022 instead, even thou i do not have two accounts is that awful 2-6h battery life on the thing with vibrator turned off.
it would randomly work fine for 6+h and then on other times only barely survive those current 3h cd events.
so i much rather get a 24 pack of aaa batteries, then get 8 months of standby/playtime from that, instead of fiddling around with that horrible magnetic charger thing.
if it was similar Qi wireless charger like most phones or many earbud cases are, then it coud just reliably charge through that.
but no! now i have to fiddle around with it for few minutes, and then only if i don't even look at it will it stay charging.
it literally feels like if loud sneeze from my upstairs neighbor could knock it off from that loose thing altogether.
@bendertube: Does the device still work if the game is off? Thx for the great video!
Game has to be open in the background
There's an on off switch on the back.
Not on the review unit they sent me. They didn’t make one with that feature when I made this review. So maybe they listened to me 👀
Would you get this or a gotcha ranger or evolve?
Ranger
Does it disconnect every hour like the rest of the auto catchers?
Yea it does
That’s coded into the Pokémon go app itself.
Is it working on the Dual app? I am playing pokemongo on the Mi9 dual app and using pokeplus but connect in just 1 app. (2 Acc in 1 Device)
I don’t have that phone so I’m unable to tell you
I play on a phone with an app from the play store and another from the Galaxy store. Will I be able to use this device with two accounts on the same Samsung phone?
Awfully sorry, but I don’t have a galaxy device to test that out.
Were you able to find this out? I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I play on 2 accounts at the same time with split screen so this would be great if I could use it on both accounts at the same time. Right now I only use it on my main account while I manually catch on my second account.

Which is the best gotcha the one in the video regular go plus or the eggs megacom
Gotcha ranger
Thank you very much
Is it able to be bought on Amazon?
amzn.to/3fdyOKp
No problem.
Can u even play Pokémon go whilst gotcha evolve is on?
Huh?
@@BenderTubeOG can u play on pogo is on I meant
Or do u need to just do gotcha
I mean you have to have pogo running to use a gotcha or plus device. If you’re asking if you can catch Pokémon yourself, you would either have to beat the gotcha to it or disable the setting. PvP, raids, and gym battles can still be done with the device connected
It works while driving?
Nothing really works while driving anymore unless you’re crawling. That’s built into the game code. Not something devices can change
I would buy it if it had a led that showed batterylife and chargeable..
Pokémon go helps with low battery now. The disposable batteries are still a problem though
BenderTube agreed 🙏
Glad we’re on the same page
Just got one from girlfriend for Christmas
It has a on off switch now
Nice. Happy catching
Can you use this for split screen/2 accounts on one phone?
I do not have a device that allows me to test that.
If I split screen on the same phone, will it still work? (Playing 2 different accounts on 1 phone; I can do this on my S10 Plus). I wanna buy this as a gift for a friend
I don’t have a galaxy phone to test that out unfortunately. Sounds like it might work if you do split screen with the play store and galaxy store versions. Again though, I can’t test it out so it’s just a guess
Ah, okay, thanks for the response
How fast is the auto spin and catch; is it same, faster, slower?
Keng Aroo it is random. They felt it would trigger the game if it was the same every time so sometime it’s long and sometimes it’s quick.
@@kengaroo6528 Does it work ? got a s10 plus and doing the same lol
Hii, how did you do to contact them to ask for one dual catchmon for review?
Social media
@@BenderTubeOG thank you, 😁
Mine connects to 4 phones
its too bad they have price fixed these things and they are all $80
I’m not exactly sure what you mean. $80 is the price of the product. Not all Pokémon go plus devices are $80. They range from $30-$60. This one can connect to two phones at the same time so they decided they will charge twice as much.
Do you have to reconnect it every hour like other devices?
Yes. That’s coded into the game. Not a choice by the device designers
@@BenderTubeOG Oh OK I thought they could run some kind of reconnection script or something 🤷♂️
The problem is you would have to modify the Pokémon go app since it requires you to press the on-screen button to connect.
Great video bro and this is why i love big boned people, me included :) Because we always lazy and want to get some things done with shortcuts so a device like this a nice but im still happy with my evolve.
You still have to walk the same distance though
@@BenderTubeOG true that but i like to have a screen to easy switch manual and auto but as long as it works, all device should be fine.
I agree. Not having to try to see that screen in the sun is a blessing sometimes
I hate android never work Bluetooth never work
Everyone has their preference
Rechargeable AAA batteries
That was something I suggested in the video as well
Rechargeable AAA batteries do exist..
Yeah but that wasn’t the point. I think I even suggested at one point that they should just add a port so I could charge those batteries inside the device. Also keep in mind that my model does not have an off switch so it’s just running.
Cool! I have 5 accounts lol
Must be a vidsummit video.
Definitely was...
Thanks
You’re welcome
recharchable AAA
Understood, but not really my point. Swapping out batteries is a bit silly in this day and age
