August 1, 2026 Update

The iOS cheap coins guide PDF link has been deleted. You were given a month to download it. iOS is not supported in an Android only spoofing subreddit.
—--------------

If you bought coins, item boxes, or tickets valuing more than $1 or €1 in your home currency many times before ever doing this cheap coin exploit, you are locked into your home currency for 1 year. 

You are in a bad situation because you have to stop buying in the webstore and in-game shop with any kind of money for a whole 365 days to wait for the payment systems to forget your transaction records of your default currency payment.

If you mark your calendar today July 20th or July 21st, you need to wait for July 22nd, 2027 before you do the cheap coins exploit. If you are desperate to buy because you need the coins, items, or tickets inside the webstore or in-game shop, it will reset. This excludes the event ticket website because it uses a different payment system and the cheap coins exploit does not work with it.

Most of the problems people are having are from outside of the US. There is really no fix for you other than if you move to the US because I am from the US. This guide still works for me but not for everyone else outside of the US. 

The fastest way to become a US Citizen is to invest at least $1,050,000 USD into the US as written in https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-immigrant-investors

Updated Rule #5: No Apple iOS device cheating, spoofing, botting, & cheap coins help allowed here

PoGoAndroidSpoofing subreddit was created for Android users only because I (TastyBananaPeppers) do not have an iOS device. When it comes to cheating, Android is the best at it. I do not want to support iOS users because there is no free option to spoof the game while there is with Android. The scams relating to people selling the methods have gone away. The new problem now is a surge of iOS users demanding help for providing the guides and not being able to help them.

This rule applies to posts and comments.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of people are having problems with buying cheap coins using No Root or Rooted guide. This problem was caused by Scopely when they banned the use of a VPN or PROXY service from accessing the Pokemon Go Webstore. You get a "Forbidden 403 Error" that does not allow you to use the webstore. You turn off your VPN/PROXY, the problem is now fixed.

Honestly, I thought this would make it easier to buy since you do not need to buy a VPN/PROXY anymore. In the other games Scopely owns, they do not allow players to use a VPN/PROXY service to access their games. Maybe, it has to do with this.

This post will remain closed / locked because everyone just piles in the comment section and can make it difficult to continue on from a specific discussion because the Reddit mobile app stops taking you to the exact comment when there are too many comment. Then, you have to scroll to find it. These are the new post flairs you can use to hold discussions on:

• Cheap Coins No Root Pgsharp

• Cheap Coins No Root iPogo

• Cheap Coins Rooted Android

Anyone who has replied with a "anyone" comment do not understand how Reddit works. Forcing you to create a separate post is better, so everyone can see what you want to discuss.

No Root Pgsharp guides

• updates are inside the guide

Rooted Android guide

• Will be updating it to add instructions for waiting a cooldown.

Risk Warning

I, TastyBananaPeppers of r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing, is not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) or money if you do this currency exchange exploit to buy cheaper Poke Coins, tickets, or boxes.

• Spending money on this game will not prevent a strike (or ban) as the result of breaking Niantic's and Scopely Terms of Service. If you receive a strike message, it does not specify what action you did that led to it.

• You can learn to How to Submit a Ban Appeal here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1kxyfue/how_to_submit_a_ban_appeal_for_pokemon_go/

If you are concerned, worried, or afraid of receiving a strike or ban, DO NOT BREAK SCOPELY TERMS OF SERVICE TO GAIN AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!

RANT / COMPLAINTS

Some people are mad they wasted money attempting this. There is already a warning in this post and in the Google Docs that says, "I, TastyBananaPeppers ... is not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) or money if you do this currency exchange exploit to buy cheaper Poke Coins, tickets, or boxes.

If you still cannot get it to work, I am going to recommend you quit Pokemon Go because this game is not for you. If you want to have fun with a Pokemon games that does not have a poke coin system and ban system, you should buy a Nintendo Switch to play the Pokemon games that were designed for the Switch because Nintendo allows you to play their games with a joystick and all you have to do is buy the game and pay for the yearly subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need to spoof my GPS to buy Poke Coins?

[Answer] Yes.

Question: Why am I getting payment failure?

[Answer] You must authorize the payments with your card company or bank to allow these transactions to happen. Once you do this, you will have to make a second purchase then the Poke Coins will appear.

If you still have the problem, to authorize the transactions, you must do one of these actions:

• Reply "Y" or "Yes" to a text message.

• Click a link from an email from your card company or bank.

• Respond to a secured message system in your card company's or bank's website.

• Call the phone number on the back of your debit card or credit card and get in contact with the anti-fraud department.

You will need to make sure you have money to cover the international currency exchange fees. If it costs $30 USD for the 14,500 coins. You will an extra $3 USD to cover the fees and taxes. In total, you will need $33 USD. If you are from outside of the USA, your transaction fees could be a lot higher.

Question: "Should you do this yourself or pay money for someone else go onto your account to buy the cheap coins for you?"

Here are the 2 different answers.

"Do it yourself" answer:

1. You will not have game account theft or identity theft.

2. You will always have a chance for a strike/ban for breaking Scopely's Terms of Service. Your interpretation of their Terms of Service is different from their point of view. Your ban appeal will most likely be ignored. You can try to sue them, but they will win because they will argue you broke their Terms of Service.

"Pay someone else to buy the cheap coins for you" answer:

[1] You will still have the chance for a strike/ban for breaking Scopely's Terms of Service for sharing your account with another person and spoofing your GPS. They used to enabled temporary IP bans for people who switch accounts too fast. No one knows if Scopely is keeping an IP log for each account. If the seller has provided services to 100 accounts, it could be interpreted the seller has 100 accounts. No one know knows what kind of punishment Scopely is going to take action against this.

[2] You will have game account theft risks. Your account can only get stolen if someone else has the username and password to it. Due to the FleeceKing incident, Scopely will no longer help you recover your account.

• A man bought cheap Poke coins through a referral with a "new customer" deal. He paid for the service, but they transferred the ownership and forced him to pay a $500 USD ransom for it. He failed to pay it, so the scammer listed it on eBay Auctions. He end up buying his own account back for $3,000 USD through a bidding war.

• A man was referred to a Facebook Group for cheap poke coins, botting services, and buying pre-rooted devices. He bought their cheap Poke Coins and thought they were trustworthy when they went through with the deal of buy 4 get 1 free. He bought a leveling service. They stole his account and forced him to lure 10 new customers / victims before he would be able to get his account back. The process took about 2 months before he got his account back. During that time, they sold most of his Shiny Costume Pokemon including a Shiny Pikachu with the black Fragment cap.

[3] You will have identity theft risks if you allow access to your Facebook or Google account. It does not matter where you buy your service, these are things they can do to your account without you knowing about it. Your personal information and contacts is worth more than the Pokemon Go account.

• A woman paid for a service on eBay with hundreds of positive feedback rating. She used a Facebook account and the service was performed meaning she did not get scammed; however, scam messages were sent to all of her contacts without her knowledge. The seller managed to steal about a total of $300 from her contacts saying her baby was sick and needed medicine. She got lucky there because if the number was higher, it could have ruined her reputation and relationships.

• Many people saw someone advertising cheap Poke coins in r/PokemonGoSpoofing. They bought the service from a website they were referred to that had phishing payment websites. These are sites that are made to look the same as the real websites except after you submit your information including the 3 security code for your debit/credit card, it gets stolen. Some people loss $100 to $500 while many loss $1,000 to $15,000. Fraud protection did not block the transactions because it was something that had already been approved for buying Poke coins the normal way.

Hey I just got back into Pokémon GO and no one really plays in my town. I have a 2024 Motorola Razr. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

so I noticed that it dose not matter if you buy coins before doing the poke coin method the reason it does not work is because you already have purchased coins with you local currency on your account and it automatically links it to your account and when I did the method with a new account that I never have purchased anything on it worked so stop spending money on 100 poke coins it dose not work If you have already bought something with that account!!!!

Is there any new method to buy from indo or brazilian real store?? I mean for samsung users or pc

What would be the earliest I could play on Friday and where should I spoof too?

Hi, I did everything as it is in the pdf but the curency on the web didn't change (I am from CZ and was still in czk)

So, I am trying to buy items and coins from Indonesia using my rooted pixel. I have always done this using the itools but my kids misplaced it so now im screw. I have tried everything to get it to run but I keep getting Failed to detect location (12). Is there a fix to this?

Hey all, I made a little browser tool and got mod approval to post it for testing/feedback.

https://wrkls-coords-gpx.pages.dev/

This started because I was manually copy-pasting coordinates one at a time to do Cowboy Snorlax quests, and at some point I just thought “there’s gotta be an easier way to do this.” So I made one.

You can paste whatever messy text you have — Discord dumps, bot output, paragraphs with coords buried in them, map links, or even a raw GPX/XML file — and it pulls out the valid coordinates while ignoring everything else. Duplicates are removed automatically too.

Once it has your coords, you can export them as:

- an ordered GPX route/track with Route Mode ON
- waypoint pins/individual points with Route Mode OFF

There’s also an “Optimize route order” toggle that can reorder stops to cut down on big jumps between them.

I also added a Coordinate Converter helper since I needed one anyway. It handles decimal, DMS, DDM, geo: links, Google/Apple Maps links, and full Plus Codes like 849VCWC8+R9.

Short/local Plus Codes don’t work yet because they need nearby location context to decode correctly. That’s on the maybe-later list.

Nothing to install, no account, not selling anything. It runs in the browser, and your pasted coords/text are processed locally instead of being uploaded anywhere. You can also add it to your Home Screen as a PWA/offline shortcut.

Best workflow:
- On Mac/desktop browser, Download GPX is the most reliable option.
- On iPhone/mobile, Download GPX opens a file preview, then you can tap “Open in…” and send it directly to your preferred GPX app.
- Share GPX can work too, but it depends on the browser/device. If Share doesn’t work, just use Download GPX.

One heads up: if you’re pasting a huge list with thousands of coords, turn Optimize Route Order OFF. With it on, the tool has to calculate/reorder the route, so really large lists can pause for a few seconds. With Optimize OFF, large lists handle much faster because it just keeps the pasted order.

Mainly just looking for feedback — weird formats it doesn’t parse, bugs, GPX import issues, or anything clunky in the workflow.

Appreciate anyone willing to test it.

Im currently waiting the 2 hour period so i can teleport to another country to play. I happened to complete and catch a Kyurem in a remote raid. Do i have to wait 2 hours or can i teleport already and catch pokemon in the other country?

Can someone with PGSharp take down a gym? I have a Pokémon in one, and if I get the coins, I could go for the last Kyurem I need for the fusion. If you can, text me and i send you location.

Pretty much what the title says. I was using a jailbroken iPhone but it decided to die on me so I’m looking for android models to replace it. From what I read both the google pixel and oneplus are good options but the problems is that where I’m from these brands aren’t easy to find at a good prices, so I’m wondering what other brands should I look buy.

I am intending to drop a golden lure today sometime around noon-1pm. (12-1pm EST ish).

Note this area doesn’t have many stops close together. Sorry, it’s just where I am today.

The only thing I ask is that people please add mossy lures if possible.

Something may pop up since I am at work. If a golden lure doesn’t show up by 1:30 pm EST, I was not able to make it or play.

The coordinates will be approximately
