When reaching level five on Pokémon GO you are given the choice between joining three teams; Mystic, Valor and Instinct. An important decision for every trainer and one you can only make once; you should choose wisely as one day your team leader may just get up and leave. That's what's happened to members of team Instinct, whose leader Spark has been absent from the game since an update came into place on 20th July.
Reports came in wondering about Spark's whereabouts when players noticed team Valor's leader Candela seemingly taking over. The internet as ever has ran with the idea that Spark has actually disappeared for good, with various images depicting the leader on the front of a milk carton and so on. This is especially humorous after months of players mocking the leader for being the most inexperienced of the three, with plenty opting for Mystic's Blanche or Valor's Candela.
Niantic has now confirmed that there is no need for concern, and Spark will return to Pokémon Go in the next update.
Were you worried for Spark's safety? Did you even notice he'd disappeared? Let us know.

I noticed when I saw it on another site a few days ago. I can't play the game currently.
He probably fell off a cliff.
@Kalmaro yeah, probably was too busy looking at his phone while walking.
@ShadJV Or he got his Jolteon to charge his phone... While he was still holding it.
He's probably lost on Mt. Moon and he's being eaten by zubats as we speak.
Another probability is Rock Tunnel. Maybe he advanced to much in the cave without using Flash and now he can't get out.
Last but not least, he could be in Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower trying to advance by using tackle on ghosts.
that rhyhorn trainer's got some kinda name
A Milk box ??
@Kalmaro Or he got a glimpse under a Mimikyu's disguise. Gen 7 confirmed for GO?
@bob1994 If anything he probably thought it was a sock puppet and jabbed his hand in it.
L O L at the player name in the top photo, "nikkahplease!"
Oh come on, at least make them win a gym or raid battle to 'rescue' him.
@Anti-Matter Yeah Americans used to put pictures of missing children on milk cartons.
If you've seen my other Pokémon GO-related ramblings, you can predict that I couldn't care any less even if it was my team leader, Mystic Leader Whatshername.
Spark was probably booked for playing Pokemon Go while speeding.
(Before I get called out, there are two bad jokes here....)
Honestly, Go has been boring me so much lately that I welcome ANY kind of variety. Be it just a pic change for IV evaluation.
I noticed this! That'll be the day MY Pokémon get appraised by the opposite team...
@roy130390 he forgot his escape rope. Every time I need one I don't have it. But I always have dat bike tho.
Spark found dead in Miami
@Racthet916 I Know, instantly burst out laughing at work, whoops
He probably broke the Go Fest in Chicago
He should have maintained more awareness of his surroundings....
It would've been better if they put it on a Bleach carton instead.
@Anti-Matter
The pictures/info of missing children were put on milk cartons to bring it to the general public.
