Pokemon Go Plus disconnects when trying to catch
For about 2-3 weeks now my Plus will disconnect every time I try to catch a Pokémon with it. It will vibrate and flash like normal but when I press the button it will vibrate once then disconnect. This only happens when try to catch a Pokémon, spinning stops works fine, it vibrates and flashes like normal. It's doing it on an LG V20 running Android 7 and on an LG V30 running Android 8.I've already reset the device, cleared Bluetooth cache, restarted the phones, reinstalled the app on the V20, enabled Bluetooth scanning but nothing seems to work. Judging by the recent posts about the Plus it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem so could it be related to the device itself? Perhaps it's going bad?

Have you tried replacing the battery?
The battery is fairly new and all other features work fine but I'll replace tonight. Thanks!
I had the same symptoms with an "off brand" battery after just a few days of use. Bought actual Duracell instead, and it started working like a champ again. So especially if you are using a "20 for $7 from Amazon" battery, I'd suggest trying that.
Also, just double check that it is in fact a cr2032, I accidentally put in a different type of battery (same size & shape, they came in the same pack!) and it caused exactly the same issue of disconnecting on first catch attempt.
