Why do I have to hold down twice to activate this special attack in PokemonGo?
Posted On: July 20, 2023

This has been bothering me recently: when my special attack is ready, why do I have to 'hold down' twice to activate it? Yes, sometimes I only have to do it once but the majority of the time I have to press and hold them once again before it activates.


Here's my attempt to display what I'm talking about. Keep an eye on the special bar. The first time, nothing happens, and I have to quickly press and hold again.


This is frustrating because the 1 second wasted is time I could be spam tapping for attacks. Does anyone know why this happens and how to special attack properly?


Question from user Insane at stackexchange.


Answer:

I think you are tapping too early.


Especially Hypno has a very long attack animation.


You can't queue your special attack. The charging up is only registered if you are not attacking or dodging at the moment of tapping.
