Hi Win. You've provided virtually no information to allow anyone to help you with this.

By "network", do you mean WiFi network? Are people using an unsecured WiFi network of yours? Or are you running a network in a café or similar public space and want to block this specific application? Or something else?

It's useless, pokemon GO is taking over the world. Blocking pokemon ports will soon be punishable by law.

Just kidding..

For real though, we need to know more about your network before we can properly answer your question.

Turn off your smartphone...
Pull the Sim card...
"My network"...tell us all about it.

As others have said, your question is poorly written.

This could be any of "people are playing and not including you, so you're mad", or "you're an IT person at a company and employees are doing this, so management has asked you to put a stop to it"

As mentioned, your question provides absolutely ZERO in the way of useful details that would let anyone help you. Short answer? Pokemon Go uses TCP port 443. Block the site "nianticlabs.com" in whatever web filter you're using, and that's it.
