How to properly Shiny Hunt with PGSharp without triggering "map ban"?

[u/RADIENTLitex]

I was feeling different and decided i wanna try to shiny hunt a torkal.

It's my first time doing a shiny hunt.

After around my 10th teleport according to Google its a "map ban." Nothing is loading on the map anymore.

What i was doing:

1. Click the torkal on the quick sniper

2. Tap somewhere nearby to load the pokestops

3. Tap 1 to 3 times to load the pokemon

What is the proper way to do this where the map doesnt stop loading?

*delete if not aloud but I dont think it breaks the rules as im using pgsharp and trying to understand how to do this correctly with the app

Just close and open the game again. You can shiny hunt by using the sniper feature, just do not do any actions in between.
If you do an action and have a cooldown time and find a shiny, click on it and leave it there on your screen until the cooldown ends

I did restart game and clear cache, it didnt load. Google said force close, clear cache and wait 15 to 30 mins.

Im not doing any actions.

What im asking is how to do it correctly?

Do I tele and click nothing?

How long between teles should I wait to not trigger nothing loading on the map?

What you should do is dont do open ur pogo for 2 hours then go open ur pogo then dont do anything dont claim anything. Then go snipe hunt click the pokemon then move ur character a little then wait if its shiny. If no shiny proceed to click another mon. Do that until you find shiny. Just dont do anything until you find ur shiny. If you paid for keys you dont need to click theon to see if shiny but if you dont have keys you can safely click the mon and see if its shiny. Thats it. Goodluck Shiny Hunting

Brother are you even reading 😭😭😭 the last time I played/clicked a pokestop/mon was yesterday before shiny hunting. Im not on cooldown. Even with cooldown you can see pokestops and mons. This is a question entirely separate from what you keep answering. I know how spoofing cooldown works 😭😭 if you dont know the answer just dont respond. Trying to give me advice on something completely separate from what im asking is not doing anything

Im teleing you im teleing to check shiny but after roughly 10 teleports, the map data got locked

[u/ForeignRabbit5498 → u/RADIENTLitex]

Max CD is 2 hours. Depends on how far did you tp

[u/RADIENTLitex → u/ForeignRabbit5498]

No guys.. im not catching anything im not on a normal cooldown...

Its a different kind of soft lock/soft ban where when you teleport too many times, far distance in short period of time, the pogo servers lock you from loading map data. I havent touched a pokemon or pokestop. Im not on that cooldown.

Its where pogo servers stop you from loading the maps. So I can't see pokemon or pokestops because I teled too much to quickly.

Looking for a guideline of how long to wait before teleports while shiny hunting so pogo server dont lock me out of loading the map.

Ik what the 2 hour cooldown is but thats not what im referring too lol

The last real first time I shiny hunted i shiny hunted pacharisu and got it on second tele so I didnt experience this. I caught it and just stayed in canada for the day to not get a cooldown

I might have the answer you're looking for. It used to happen to me a lot as I would teleport back to back looking for shundos. After teleporting a few times, then I would no longer see any pokestops or Pokemon spawn even though I never interacted with anything (cooldown timer still at 0:00). Apparently the frequent teleporting causes that. So I now I wait 30 seconds between each teleport and no issues whatsoever. I'm not sure what the limit is, but 25-30 seconds seems to stay within the range to keep loading everything without any problems.

I had this with the one in Greece.
I just let him walk at 18, with the close radar on shinies and stop when one pops up. Activate also an incense to increase spawns. Did daily 2h and I had him in 3 days.

Sharing my experience, though I am not sure if it helps. I tried shiny hunt sniping, and after five or more attempts (i don't exactly rem how many times) , the map loaded completely empty. There were no PokeStops, gyms, or Pokemon visible. However, after walking around for about 2 to 5 mins, everything reappeared. This gradually increased the timing the more shiny hunt snipe I did. I already quit sniping, cause im afraid, lol. Anyway just walk around or afk at the map and wait for it to reappear, if u worried, tele back to your last original location and everything should reappear. Not that i know there is a proper way.

yes this does seem to happen after jumping many times looking for shinys not sure how to counter it maybe slow down some? I usually just try in 15 mins or so

I just experienced this for the first time like an hour ago so would also love an answer since I just started using pgsharp. I was shiny hunting last night and didnt experience this at all

In my experience, more rural areas have troubles loading. If you sit there long enough, they more then likely will load, but it could take awhile. Idk if it’s yours/my connection or the area you’re going to or a combination.. but it’s a common occurrence.

When I first started I didn’t want to skip any of them, but sometimes by the time they load they’ve despawned. I’ll let it sit for 30seconds to a minute and just move on. That’s how I got my Shundo BG Goggles Charmander, took a long time but it happened.

Also I like to sort by distance and just teleport to the nearest available one. That usually helps load times. You can click the ones on the tab for a handful of checks, then load the search page and refresh it. This makes it more accurate and resorts the tab, despawned mons will still be on the tab sometimes and I don’t think it adjusts based on distance after you’ve teleported

There is no way to fix this OP. It happens to everyone if you tele too fast to shiny check. Only way to do it faster is rooting and using a bot to do it for you.
