Made new pokemon go account using same google account accidentally and cant get back to old one

Made new pokemon go account using same google account accidentally and cant get back to old one - Serious gray haired aged man in white shirt sitting at table and browsing laptop while checking notes in modern office

I made a new Pokemon GO account but I used the same google account, so now every time I try to play it makes me use the new account instead of the lvl 17 one. I tried signing out and logging into the google account, but it makes me go into the new account instead of the old one. So now I have no way of accessing the old one. I tried submitting a request to Niantic to delete the new account so hopefully it would bring me to the old account when I sign in that google account, but they haven't answered yet and I don't know if that would work. Is there any other way to fix this?



Best Answer

I know you don't want to hear this, but your old account is likely gone.

Occasionally, a bug will affect player accounts causing them to be reset back to zero or deleted altogether. From this point onwards, the only way to keep playing is to re-create the account.

As you're certain that you're using the same Google account, the only reasonable conclusion is that your data is gone into the digital ether.
