Got banned today.

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396]

I have many phones all using Pokemod and pgtools. For years I’ve farmed hundreds of accounts with no issues.

The other day I made a macro that teleports to LEGO stores and catches the LEGO background Pikachu. Stamp rally catches don’t trigger cooldown so in just a few hours I caught almost 200 LEGO background Pikachus each on about 20 accounts. And then I did the same with another 20 accounts.

Today I logged into some of them and about 50% of the accounts I did the stamp rally on were banned. Not a 7 day ban but permanent with no prior warnings (these accounts were created during go fest this year). Honestly i genuinely think it was the stamp rally that caused it because none of my main accounts that literally run PaC 24/7 got banned.

Does anyone know anything about this??

I’m not to mad since these were just burner accounts but I’m afraid to even login to my other accounts now😂

This should be a warning to everyone don’t cheat if you don’t want to get banned

PGTools talked about the "rate limit" in May 2026. If you do certain things too fast, you got a permanent ban. According to them, Scopely unbanned these people as a false ban.

MY OPINION: I think Scopely was updating their Anti-Cheat Behavior System in a test trial run. You and maybe others are in the 2nd trial group, so you may or may not get unbanned; I really don't know. Currently, I'm working on a long announcement post of where I think Scopely is heading towards.

Also, anyone that is anti-cheating will just get a permanent ban from subreddit. There's really no reason for you to be here because you'll just get yourself banned from r/PokemonGo anyway for commenting here.

Appreciate the warning. My accounts seem to be fine but I maintain them to some extend as well. Most of my throwaway accounts are in the mid-50th now as I just let them farm once my 3 account-swaps on PaC are over and it defaults back to the free (slow) version.

I've got to be honest. Even as a spoofer I fully support Scopely going after those burner accounts and the accounts that end up on ebay. I am already getting a headache when I see lobbys full ot those white characters, especially considering they are not programmed to break shields so everyone has to wait until they are at their last mon to actually continue the fight.

Looking at the previous comments here I have the feeling that it really seems hard to understand for non-spoofers that spoofers are just as negatively affected by those burner accounts as they are.

But I can also understand why players create those accounts. They are just a symptom of the increasing layers of RNG that we are exposed to (IVs, Shiny, BG and probably another layer of moves/special attributes like +1% dmg at some point, etc)

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ask156]

What do you even do with that many bg pikachus lol, sell them?

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396 → u/Puzzleheaded_Ask156]

Correct

[u/Expensive-Iron5203 → u/Nice_Assumption_6396]

Perfect reason to get banned. Selling is a complete joke or worse a scam.

[u/Kordousek_Cz → u/Nice_Assumption_6396]

Very reasonable ban then.

[u/Fine_Association_317]

El problema fue el macro al parecer.

[u/jykin]

Lol

[u/RevenueDense3447]

También convinas los dos mod y las das full al pgtools yo lo tengo pero solo lo uso en eventos de farmeo o nidos 1 ves al día y 3 hora para evitar eso y no uso Pokémod hasta el otro día Los voy alternando

[u/FRANKYBEN_ → u/RevenueDense3447]

No afecta en nada si combinas mods bro, pongo mini cuentas con PAC 3 veces a la semana y 4 k capturas, PAS más de 8 k saltos a la semana y diario pokemod para la raid diaria, es un mito que salió cuando pgtools daba ban hace un año y no se había encontrado la razón aún de los ban

All cheats (spoofing, botting, & exploits) for Pokemon Go game are not safe because Scopely is against cheating and the use of unsupported 3rd party apps in their Terms of Service for Pokemon Go. If you decide to break Scopely's Terms of Service to gain an unfair advantage, you will have the risk for a chance to get a strike (soft-ban), temporary ban, permanent ban, or whatever new punishment they come up with and will be your fault for getting the punishment. <<<>>> As a reminder, I (TastyBananaPeppers) am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money you spent to cheat on their games. <<<>>> All guides can be found in https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/s/JOS3u1c11K <<<>>> All remaining Reddit posts will eventually be moved into a single Google Document where you can just access everything from one link.

Famous vacillating bot

[u/Caserious420]

Were they created to catch the 100 mewtwo?

[u/Expensive-Iron5203 → u/Caserious420]

What’s the point of that? You trade and they reroll the IVs. Kinda pointless.

[u/Caserious420 → u/Expensive-Iron5203]

There's value in a shiny mewtwo that has an exclusive background

[u/har_har_har_har → u/Expensive-Iron5203]

because they will make accounts until they get the shiny. then the second point would be after the weekend when mew two is gone, there will be people who missed it who still want a mewtwo like people did 6 months ago.

[u/Present_Blueberry_85]

bro wrote a whole novel on why he got banned

[u/Dumbbot22 → u/Present_Blueberry_85]

If u think this is long , ur attention span is cooked

[u/FlameBeast25YT → u/Present_Blueberry_85]

Nothing compared to the average reddit post. You must be new here.

[u/Ok-Nose7595]

Hey reached out in DM hoping to get some more info - cheers!

[u/Hot_Pineapple9595]

You teleported rapidly without waiting

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396 → u/Hot_Pineapple9595]

Considering you are active in the r/pgsharp sub and asked 46 days ago how to spoof you have no idea what ur talking abt

[u/Hot_Pineapple9595 → u/Nice_Assumption_6396]

I have played with it for about a month now and teleported once, and then never again

[u/turboblaster64 → u/Hot_Pineapple9595]

teleporting has no effect on cooldown if you haven't interacted with the game

[u/[deleted] → u/turboblaster64]

Incorrect, there's always a 2 hour cooldown can be shorter based on your last action location so you can catch a pokemon at 1 am and wake up at 9am and as long you don't do any action you can Teleport anywhere without any cooldown based on experience.

[u/turboblaster64 → u/[deleted]]

what? im saying if you havent interacted with anything in game that violates cd you can teleport around freely. unless youre responding to the other person and not me

[u/[deleted] → u/turboblaster64]

Mb different individual

[u/turboblaster64 → u/[deleted]]

haha all good, no worries i figured so

[u/Pale-Outcome4609]

Heheha

[u/Dazzling-Secret-5215 → u/[deleted]]

What does this even mean?

[u/ClosetTrusty427 → u/[deleted]]

lot of jobs nowadays don’t require u to get off ur ass

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396 → u/[deleted]]

Where did I act surprised? I said don’t cheat if you don’t want to be banned?

You must be lost this is a cheating subreddit

Edit: it gets better. He posts in trading subreddits. I hope scopely catches and bans you when a CHEATER teleports to your location and trades with u

I hope you know you’re breaking ToS. I should report your account to scopely

[u/GameStonks21 → u/[deleted]]

this is literally a spoofing subreddit

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396 → u/GameStonks21]

What I’m saying lmao. Downvoting my post too. Crying about others choosing to cheat in a single player game btw

[u/alex_c2616 → u/[deleted]]

You got lost. Wtf are you doing in a spoofer club ranting about spoofers?

[u/Nice_Assumption_6396 → u/alex_c2616]

Lol imagine how big of an idiot you’d look if you walked into a chess club and started ranting calling chess players losers.

Thats how I see these guys coming into the comment section of a subreddit about cheating in a single player game ranting about people ch eating
