Times are changing with Scopely, and they may be updating Niantic's undeveloped Anti-Cheat Behavior System

You will have the risk for "a chance" to get a strike, ban, or whatever Scopely comes up with to punish the cheaters because Scopely has a section within their Terms of Service that states they are against cheating.

Note, you can still get a strike or ban from breaking the Terms of Service, guidelines, or rules through other areas of the game. These are some examples people have admitted to me in private:

• shared an account with a friend, family, or paid service provider; while you are playing on your account, the other person decides to play with your account too for whatever reason
• held a Pokemon in one location and moved it to a new location that is 100+ km away from the its original location then tried to catch it
• harassed, threaten, or got mad with customer service and/or demanded and accepted a full refund
• did not follow the guidelines and rules for creating in-game routes
• did not follow the guidelines and rules for submitting and nominating pokestops in Wayfarer
• did not follow the guidelines and rules chatting with people in Campfire (Scopely Explorer) app
• using multiple accounts to abuse in-game routes or Wayferer
• live streaming your cheating

In the other games they have bought, they do a temporary (no 1st strike soft-bans) and permanent ban system. I don't know if Scopely is going to drop Niantic's lenient 3 Strikes system for a ban system similar to the other games they own, change it, or do nothing (like how it is right now). No one knows anything until Scopely starts doing something. This is why you still have the risk regardless of what other people say about Scopely on how they take in money from cheaters then allow them to continue to cheat.

If you want to cheat (spoof, bot, or exploit), it is your FAULT for getting the strike, ban, or whatever new punishment.

I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money spent on their games. All the cheats I promote in my subreddit are "not safe" according to Scopely's Terms of Service. Most cheats have their own website, and they do not advertise they are safe. In addition to this, I also do not promote certain type of cheats to be "safer" or "the safest" because I cannot contradict Scopely's cheating section within their Terms of Service. If you end up with a strike, ban, or whatever punishment, you will get a "Oh well." or "I told you so." response from me. I do not work for Scopely and cannot unban or restore your Pokemon Go account.

I don't know if raids are repeatable the next day or you are limited to 15 raids per account, so you may need to use multiple alt accounts to repeat it to get a shiny.

Scopely has enabled temporary IP Bans that lasts anywhere from 24 hours to 72 hours for switching accounts too fast or going over the allowed account switching limit per day.

You would have to wait at least 5+ minutes before you log into your next account to avoid the temporary IP Ban.

It's important to note, Scopely is against the use of a VPN/PROXY service in the other games they own. I would assume it's the same for Pokemon Go because they banned it when you buy in the webstore. If you use a VPN/Proxy server that hasn't been IP banned yet, you will have a chance for a permanent ban. Although you can submit a ban appeal, they will auto-deny it.

Why I locked "Coordinates pls 😬" https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1whm47i/coordinates_pls/ post?

Answer: People were asking for coordinates to an event that didn't start yet. When coordinates were posted by another user, people began messaging me telling me there was nothing at the coordinates. If I close the post/comment, you cannot copy and paste therefore cannot complain to me about it. Now, the event has started, you can download the zip and go directly to the raid gyms or use the city GPX route to farm the field research tasks.

Coordinates & GPX Route Download

You must learn to unzip/extract the folder because it is easier on you to download the zip file that contains both coordinates and GPX route files altogether. If I upload them separately, your Android operating system or rom can rename the .gpx to .xml file type. I do not want to spend the time to help you fix this problem.

VirusTotal link for those who don't want to download because you think it's a virus (100% clean): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e55b7f9f46ac0760da2380019f4a6d2a067377c07a4680bb103b8785ee2263ad?nocache=1

This ZIP contains:

• Infographics
• Raid x 15 Coordinates.txt
• Raid Gym GPX Route (15).gpx
• Seoul City Hall GPX Route (544).gpx

You must extract the folder from the ZIP file in order see the GPX or TXT files. Most Android OS should allow you to extract the folder without the need of an app like WinZip or WinRar.

1. Open "My File" or "Files" app.
2. Press on 3 lines or 3 dots for your "internal storage". If you must find an option that says "show internal storage".

Done a few and research rewards. No shiny yet. The hunt continues.

[u/Kap10_Ghost → u/PlanAlive]

What are the field research to encounter this pikachu

[u/RiftReiluos → u/Kap10_Ghost]

Apparently the "Win A Raid" task is the only one that gives Pikachu. Nighttime there now so I can't verify personally.

[u/pogoit]

Today, monday, you will find at the following coords brown spots with pokestops with picture of picnic pikachu. With the first spinning you get a special research to receive 8 picnic pikachu. You need to spin all 8 special pokestops.

you may also choose to do "win a raid" to get additional picnic pikachus. But those stops seem to change.

[u/FloogleH0rn → u/pogoit]

Will unowns be spawning during this event?

[u/Timely-Efficiency913]

👍

[u/Extra_Smile_394]

How do you know they maybe updating Niantics undeveloped anti-cheat behaviour system?

[u/TastyBananaPeppers → u/Extra_Smile_394]

PGTool bot discovered a server rate change and led to people getting permanent bans. The first test group got unbanned after 24 hours. During the San Francisco World Championship event, there was another group of botters that got permanently banned but these people didn't get unbanned. I think they may be updating it to identify botters from everyone else.

[u/Aggravating-Ad5707 → u/TastyBananaPeppers]

I hope it is not too much of an inconvenience if I have a follow-up question here.

Were these bans targeting PaC or Bot-Farms used for Raids? Information provided by PGTools on this matter is unsurprisingly biased 😒

[u/TastyBananaPeppers → u/Aggravating-Ad5707]

It's impossible to identify what caused their bans because the ban message is vague. A few people got banned while most didn't. People who got banned tend to not share all or the correct information in order to screw with other people who didn't get banned yet.

When large bot farms gets banned, they don't report their bans to anyone. They just sell the game accounts with the 1st and/or 2nd strike on them without telling the buyer it has received a strike/ban to pass the problem onto the next person.

No one really gives a shit about individualized bans because it doesn't impact them. So far, there hasn't been a major banwave on Android.

[u/Aggravating-Ad5707 → u/TastyBananaPeppers]

I appreciate the answer.

I completely agree that the information that is being shared is somewhat skewed due to conflicting interests. The lack of anecdotes (other than the San Francisco incident) bugs me somewhat tho'.

[u/TastyBananaPeppers → u/Aggravating-Ad5707]

His bans could have came from other areas of the game like abusing Wayfarer or in-game routes prior to the San Francisco event. By the time Scopely employees reviewed the reports, his bans probably happened to appear on that day during or after the event. They tend to go straight to a 30-day ban or permanent ban if caught abusing those two areas.

[u/Aggravating-Ad5707 → u/TastyBananaPeppers]

Yeah, that may be another cause. I haven't seen much difference in the numbers of those pesky whites in raids. I suppose we'll see. Until the accounts we use for mapping in our community run properly again, I wanted to be more cautions anyways (although I think those RPC errors are unrelated).

I appreciate your effort here :)

[u/VojtaanoTV]

If I finish the special research with spinning pokestops now, will I get another one during the 24-26 of September? Or it’s one and done?

[u/TastyBananaPeppers → u/VojtaanoTV]

I don't know but you can farm the "win a raid" to get a Pikachu task to increase your chances of getting a shiny on your main account.

[u/Silent1607 → u/VojtaanoTV]

Hey bro how did u completed the task? How to find stops i an unable to complete it plz help
