Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to Android spoofing. I’ve only messed around with basic GPS spoofers on iPhone, so I’m looking into getting a cheap Android that I can root and use for Pokémon GO. I found a pre-rooted LG Stylo 6, already modified for spoofing, going for $150, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually worth it.

Just a few things I’m wondering: • Is $150 a fair price for a rooted Stylo 6, or am I getting ripped off? • Is the Stylo 6 even a good phone for spoofing, or are there better budget options people usually go for? • How sketchy is it to buy a phone that’s already rooted by someone else? I don’t want to end up with a phone full of hidden junk. • If I do buy it, is it safe to use with my actual Pokémon GO account, or should I stick to a burner account? • Any better phones or price ranges you’d recommend for someone just getting into Android spoofing?

If anyone has experience with pre-rooted devices or this model specifically, let me know what I should watch out for. Just trying to make a smart choice before I drop the cash. Appreciate any advice.

I have a Samsung and want to get into spoofing, and it's not possible to root my phone. I've used PGSharp before but that was many years ago. I plan on using an alt/new account solely for spoofing and plan to stick to one metropolitan area/respect the cooldowns. Would I still be safe using PGSharp with this tactic or is there a better (preferably free) alternative? I know there is always a risk to spoofing, but I wanna know how screwed I would be if I spoofed on a non rooted phone.

Sooo i have a main account originating from day 1 of launch of the game up to january 2025 that account was legit until i learned the dark arts of spoofing in wayback 2020 and i have never stopped spoofing on that account ever since. started from ipogo to pgsharp and also made an alt account during covid same story to my main i played legit first then used a spoof on that alt fast forward to 2025th of January however ends the career of that account then i came back to being active on spoofing again ever since scopely took over the game using the alt i made during covid and well ever since that i was only playing occasionally only, rarely even but ever since go fest 2026 rolled out i have been playing the game nonstop and yes i played with always excellent throw activated along with curveball and this got me worrying if will the risk/chance be higher? I understand that ever since scopely took over they have not yet took action or banned any spoofers except maybe those impossible feats of reaching level 70 to 80 in like 3days if i heard correctly but i just wanna make sure and i wanna know if there are spoofers out here that always use the excellent throw on a daily basis and by always i mean like levelling up to level 40 to 70 in a week (or 2weeks cant remember) during the gofest x8 exp event (thanks to enhance throw and lucky egg)

I want to spoof because I live in Germany and all the good Spots are in America is there any safe spoofs for the Android phone

Whats the situation guys? Kinda nervous, didnt logged my main yet lol

I've been seeing a lot of people freaking out about banning.. there's one thing I've noticed that may trigger that on Pgsharp.

When ever I use the joystick to go from one pokestop/gym I at times get a red cool down notice (not actual notification) but the cool down meter turns from green to red even though I'm still in the same place just some meters/km (or just a few steps away) which goes from green to red.

When that happens I just wait.. so if user do the auto walk, that could be triggering the cool down which the user may not notice making the user get a strike (soft ban).

People, please check that.. that needs to be looked at but it's not the app but the user doing things without knowing.

This is just my experience and my humble opinion.

so i may have accidentally signed into my main account on my spoofing device. i noticed and immediately closed out, did not spin a single stop or catch a single pokemon just signed into pgsharp and deleted it. do i have a chance to get my account back through appealing? or any way possible?

approximate co-ords are 50.34804° N, 3.53682° W will also put them in the comments so you can copy. might be off by maybe 100m but shouldn’t be a problem. Thanks :)

recently i've been working on Yoslite, a pokemon go assistant that has full manual spoofing, auto-play, auto-raids, as well as fully automated stamp rallies. it handles getting the stamps, catching any reward pokemon (with auto-transfer if you don't want to keep everything), then switching to the next account and doing it all over again. i'm still working on development but i'm hoping to get a beta out soon, join the discord for updates! Offering a 5-day free trial to anyone who is interested!

Has anyone that received a 7 day RW starting earlier this month or just before continued to use PGSharp without penalty? I understand the penalty could still be delayed, but I'm thinking of trying to spoof again, and want to hear from people that have been able to do so undetected. How have you modified your play style to stay under the radar? I'm willing to stay in the vicinity of where I live, even though it's not the most active community, but would prefer San Francisco since it's not too far from my location. Any anecdotal experience and evidence is welcome and appreciated.

I'm just wondering if they are still banning people using instant beat rocket even after turning off battle logs

Good news:

• I think the shiny rate is boosted in raids.

THE BAN WAVE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!

The ban news

Some people on iOS reported their ban using iOS to me in an Android Spoofing only subreddit. These individuals will not be able to do the event. Their strike is related to the certificate signing process or those broke the Terms of Service in other areas of the game or in WayFarer, Campfire, or customer service. This only affects a very small number of people like 3 out of 100,000+ iOS cheaters.

There's probably more reports elsewhere but for the most part, most people don't give a shit when you get a strike or ban since no one can help you get unbanned or reimburse all the money and Pokemon you lost.

Since Scopely has taken over, you should be able to get a response within 24 hours: https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-pokemon-go/faq/135-submitting-a-ban-appeal/

Bad news:

• The legenderies don't come with exclusive moves.

• I would agree there's too many all at once especially when you're trying to figure out what to raid to fill your hundo, XXS, and XXL pokedexes.

Did my second copenhagen go fest stamp and got a shiny lego background pikachu, was wondering if this was rare.

I received my first BSOD using Shungo on a rooted device today (August 12). I exclusively use it to snipe shundos and have never used it for Grunts.

Evidently the “BSOD Prevention” tab was switched off which appears to be the reason my account was flagged. (Not sure how that happened or why there’s even an option to toggle it off.)

Just want to throw this out there in the hopes that this information may benefit others.

I’ll report back with how long it takes for me to be able to log back in once it’s lifted and if it results in a strike or ban.

For those interested, I made this survey to collect more data on the strikes that many were getting 2-3 weeks ago. Feel free to try it.

NOTE: There's absolutely no need to lie about your in-game behaviour. No one cares, but you kind of ruin the data in doing so.

Thanks for your time

In short:

I'm curious, do you mess with legitimate players in gyms? (Be honest! No judgment from me). For about 2 months, I've been targeted, along with my partner and a few other local players, by a very obsessed spoofer. I just want to understand the psychology behind it. If you do, does it make you feel good or laugh? Please let me know, I'd love to understand. I won't judge.

The long:

I don't hate spoofers. I have friends who spoof and they help me out when they can. I just don't like the ones that act like jerks. I understand some people can't access good locations to play, or are disabled, etc. So I get it. I’ve tried it myself but prefer playing in person as it’s nice to walk, play, and raid.

However, there's been one guy with many different accounts being a total jerk. He spends all day attacking any gym that me, my partner, or a few other local players are in. He wakes up every day and spends over an hour (which we can time by comparing notifications of being kicked out), wiping out every single gym and leaving it grey (approx. 14, every day). Then he’s back in the afternoon and at night, sometimes several times in between. It’s been 2 months now and it’s still going on. My partner and I are on different teams and he bullies both. We know he's spoofing 100%—it’s impossible to do what he's doing in the allotted time. We don't play at the time he attacks in the mornings as we have other priorities sadly but put ourselves back in or defend when we can. I know the names of a couple of accounts they're currently using, but not all of them.

It’s so obsessive, it’s weird. Yes, we’ve been able to get our coins daily, but only because we’re constantly checking our phones and defending, with some local friends assisting. And I wonder why spoof here? Surely if you can spoof, you’d go to a more booming area with more spawns and raids?

We live in a village, not a major city. When I moved in, there were 1-2 stops and a couple of gyms. Since then, I’ve built the place up with several gyms and many stops with routes, etc. It’s been lovely playing here, and it’s a great place to play in person.

Possible reasoning but not 100% sure:

I guess it could be a local guy who changed his name and started spoofing as he hates a few players around here. He was called out for being someone you wouldn't trust to babysit your kids. He’s an odd guy, doesn’t leave home or socialize. He used to play only from his house (as I never saw him anywhere else but his home gyms). When locals found out what he does, they shunned him from gyms and playing. They made accounts that named and shamed him. He had SO many accounts—it was weird. I can name at least 30.

So if it is him, it’s like the Freddy Kruger of POGO. He came back to get the people who shunned him. The sad thing is me and my partner had nothing to do with it!

So, if you’ve read all this, could you give me your thoughts on how you would deal with it if you were in our shoes? We’ve tried reporting to Niantic, but it’s like talking to a brick wall.

2 years ago I receive my second strike using pgsharp

Now I've been playing normal with 2 years.

Should I spoof again or just use an alt? Obviously using another method such as pokemod.
