Know what's worth your time in Pokémon GO
Events, verdicts, raid rooms, and smart planning — all in one app built for trainers who value their time.
Pokémon GO has a packed event calendar — Community Days, Raid Hours, Spotlight Hours, GO Fest, and more. NextCatch brings events, verdicts, and raid rooms together so you can plan ahead and find a lobby when it matters.
Built around how trainers actually play
Raids, Rocket, eggs, research, and event calls lead. Widgets, shortcuts, and sync stay secondary.
Raid Rooms
Host or join remote raids with trainer profiles, friend-code handoff, ready checks, and reliability signals.
Rocket Lineups
Check every Team GO Rocket Grunt, Leader, and Giovanni lineup before you burn revives.
Egg Pool Tracker
See exactly what can hatch from 2km, 5km, 7km, 10km, and 12km eggs with shiny indicators and rarity.
Event Calendar
Community Days, Raid Hours, Spotlight Hours, GO Fest, and more in one clean schedule.
Event Verdicts
Must Play, Worth It, Niche, Skip It, or FOMO Buster with the reason behind the call.
Field Research Tasks
Browse active research tasks and reward encounters so you know which stops are worth spinning.

What makes NextCatch different
Events first. Raids when you need them.
I focus on helping you plan around Pokémon GO events and coordinate remote raid rooms without the Pokédex, IV checker, or bloated toolbox.
Guidance, not just data.
Every event has a verdict: Must Play, Worth It, Niche, Skip It, or FOMO Buster. I tell you why an event matters and who should care.
Respects your time.
No countdown pressure. No blocking popups. No engagement tricks. Just clarity when you need it.
Start with core planning. Upgrade when it makes sense.
Event planning and raid rooms are available without NextCatch+. NextCatch+ adds personalization, deeper analysis, and raid queue priority for dedicated trainers.

Frequently asked questions
Is NextCatch free?
Yes. Core event planning — event calendar, verdicts, search, widgets, Live Activities, Siri Shortcuts, calendar sync, and offline mode — is free. Raid coordination uses a free account, and NextCatch+ is an optional upgrade for trainers who want personalization, deeper analysis, and raid queue priority.
What events does NextCatch cover?
Everything: Community Days, Raid Hours, Spotlight Hours, GO Battle League seasons, Research events, ticketed events like GO Fest, and more. If Niantic announces it, NextCatch has it.
How does NextCatch get event data?
I pull from official Pokémon GO announcements and enrich each event with meta-game data. Every event includes a verdict and breakdown based on what actually matters to trainers.
Does NextCatch access my Pokémon GO account?
No. NextCatch never connects to your Pokémon GO account. Event browsing does not require an account. Raid rooms use Sign in with Apple and a trainer profile so hosts and guests can coordinate friend-code handoff. I never sell your information.
