One of the biggest complaints in Pokémon Go is most of the time its servers are not working. In addition, sometimes the game won't load or it crashes while hunting for Pokémon. Thankfully, there are many ways to check Pokémon Go server status.

As a start, it is recommended to follow the official Twitter account of the game. If there's a major server breakdown, Pokémon Go's Twitter account will certainly report about it. Trainers can also follow other accounts that are connected to the game, such as NianticLabs, Pokemon and Pokémon Go News. We also add that PoGoServer is pretty good to follow.

Aside from the various Twitter handles mentioned above, trainers can also check numeruous websites that give updates about Pokémon Go's status. It is advisable to check the status of servers before going out for a Pokéhunt.
