I had to update my gmail on pokemon trainer club but i still get the error. Any suggestions?

Hi @lizmommysquid
Welcome to the forum :hugs:
Do you’ve your google account connected with pokemon go (set up)?

Hello and welcome,

Have you tried to log out and log back into PoGo with your Google account? Look to see if it’s the same account, because, if it isn’t, this could be the issue. You can’t have the same Google account connected to multiple PoGo accounts.

This is because you don’t have a Google log in method connected to your account. You will need to connect your account to Google/Apple/Facebook log in methods and use that to access Wayfarer.

Hello Elizabeth,

Thank you for contacting Pokémon Support.

We see you are reaching out about logging into the Pokémon Go app. Unfortunately at this time, we only support the Pokémon Trainer Club login method for the Pokémon GO app. If you use another log in method, such as Google, Niantic Kids, Facebook, or Apple, please visit the following developer’s support page below:

You need to link another login method in game.

If you go into the in game settings menu, then select the account option, you can see what login methods you can link to your account. Once you link one of those, you should then be able to use that login to access wayfarer.

Wayfarer doesn’t use the PoGo Trainer Club login as one of its login methods; Wayfarer can only be accessed from a PoGo account that is linked to Apple ID, Facebook, and/or Google. If you go to the Wayferer website and click on Sign In, you will see that these are the only 3 login options available.

As Aaron and Hank noted, you do have to link one of the 3 above login methods to your PoGo account. More info on how to link an additional login method to your PoGo account can be found here:

Once you have one of the 3 login methods used by Wayfarer linked, you should then be able to access Wayfarer.

I’ve made some screenshots for you in case you don’t know how to reach the set ups in pogo:

They’re in german but I think you can find it in your language. Connect it to google and it should work.
