I have tried to find growlithe over and over . About 30 times now . I have made it around the whole map within the 2 minute window and still nothing . Please help 

hello , i have the same problem , i think its a game error

Same here. Tried for almost one hour to find growli but always fail. Any help would be appreciated

same to me

This also happened to me. Like i tried searching through nooks and crannies but cant find growlithe.

you guys need search growlithe and click it. just look more carefully and you will see its tail or ear or head behind tree or somthing. after you find it and click it then the message will show up. yes its bit different from walkthrough from youtube

This part of the quest is being reset each time you give a try which mean that even if one of your try is being bugged (cause of a server crash for example) this won’t impact anything and won’t require staff intervention.

 

Futhermore most of players already successfully finished this part so you need to try harder and by yourself not by following a misleading guide.(some of there were made with a bug abuse that was permitting you to skip that part)

 

Also keep in mind that it’s a matter of pixels you can’t see growlie entirely, and his spawn is randomly selected and can change at each try.
