Does Niantic respond to email?

Yesterday I sent an email to Niantic regarding possible hacking (inexplicable disappearance of my top cp Pokemon) at [email protected]. I deleted and reinstalled the app but nothing happened. Is there any chance to respond any time soon? Better yet, is there any chance to fix the problem?

Yes, they do - although this type of email may require more time to respond. If you favorite your mon, the chances of you transferring it are a lot slimmer.

I got a response within 12 hours - although my issue was that I accidentally purchased some pokeballs. They were able to revert the changes and get me my coins back.

Dang, wish I had known this! One time I had literally just finished deleting about 150-200 Pokeballs to free up bag space (was after a big level up). Put my phone in my pocket as I was walking so the egg distance would keep tracking. When I pulled my phone out (no joke) 5 minutes later my finger grabbed the wrong side of the screen and I caught the end of the message confirming I had bought 200 Pokeballs with 800 out of my last 900 coins.

I just had to laugh about it though b/c what were the odds? I had just deleted almost the exact # of balls. I felt like the game was just like "Nope, wrong move. Take em back"

The chances are either you give your "friend" your own phone and transfer your pokemon intentionally.

Or someone know your password and hijack your account and transfer your pokemon.

The chances of faulty pokemon app is highly unlikely, take my advice with a pinch of salt.

Yes they do respond but as mentioned it depends on the query.

It took them 3 weeks to respond to my query about their server issues at the beginning of the game which affected some of my in app purchases, and even then I got a non-sense, fob you off response.

I eventually had to go to Apple to get a refund for the coins I had purchased, which Apple did without hesitation.
