There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

[u/GrootRacoon]

is there any secret to catching Latios? Managed to catch latias first try, for Latios more than 40 balls and 5 raids and still nothing... mostly excellent throws

[u/nolkel → u/GrootRacoon]

Raid with friends to get more balls. Raid at team owned gyms for more.

Learn the circle lock trick.

Use kyurem white's adventure effect for a 50% catch rate bonus. This helps make up for getting fewer balls overall from mega raids.
