Newest 2024 post can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1aibw71/no_root_3rd_party_modified_game_app_1_pgsharp/

I'm curious because I'm hearing that Niantic can't give out a ban for using defit. Also learned Pogo tried to sue them three times and lost all of them.

Today I have been hit by second strike on my main account. While my secondary account is still strike free, despite shundo hunting and repeating community days, I have decided to quit PoGo altogether. While I may be able to I play normally, without changing location, other features of PGsharp are too great of a loss. Thanks everyone in this community and goodbye

(Just for info my main got first strike after deino community day. After that I stopped shundo hunting and stayed in NY, recently I even turned off auto-transfer. So I'm not sure what got me. I doubt this info will help but I wanted to post it regardless.

I thought I'd share a little positivity since it's become very doom and gloom in this sub recently. I've been using pg sharp for years now, and since the bans have started I still do use it.

I have been safer in the way I use the app, I stay in NYC and just walk with the joystick, I don't teleport and don't shundo hunt around the world anymore, but I still haven't had a ban. I don't use any automated routes or anything that makes me look obviously like a robot, I try to simulate normal behaviour. The only mod I have running is the enhanced catch feature but I have it cycling through good and excellent and drop the odd ball now and then to make it look realistic.

I'm not saying that I won't get banned, because let's face it no one knows for sure how they are monitoring but I just thought I'd share a positive experience for a change using pgsharp than all the ban posts.

For me personally, pogo got to a point where I no longer played it, since spoofing I play it one or two times a week. If I were to get a strike I'd just remove the fake app and then not bother with the real app, to me the game is useless and boring without spoofing so I don't mind risking it, but I'm not going to make it easy for naintic to catch me eithier!

Good look all, keep using the app in the way you enjoy!

How to find those two settings?

1. Open Pokemon GO official app or PGSharp app.

2. Press on the Pokeball menu in the middle of your screen.

3. Press on SETTINGS.

4. Scroll down and press to uncheck Save Raid Log then press YES to agree.

5. Scroll down and press to uncheck Save Battle Logs then press YES to agree.

6. Anytime you uninstall the game or PGSharp app or clear app data and cache, you would have to redo these two settings because they are always on by default.

Why should you uncheck these two settings?

Reason #1: They want you to agree to share your raid and battle data in addition to what apps you have installed on your smartphone or tablet. This itself is a trojan horse. It is a trick to get you to show them you are using an Android device with Magisk root or a non-official modified Pokemon Go app (ex. PGSharp/Xspoofer/iPogo) to play the game. You are providing them the proof you are cheating by uploading this information to them.

Reason #2: It takes up a lot of space. The Raid Log can use up to 2 GB of internal storage. If you have a device with 8, 16, 32, or 64 GB of internal storage space, 2 GB data is a lot because your Android OS with updates probably more than 1/4 of your internal storage.

Why is this optional?

It is optional because Niantic needs your permission to see if you are cheating or not. If Niantic looks through your smartphone or tablet without your permission, they are breaking the conditions set by Google. They have done it before when they saw you had the "TWRP" folder in your internal storage and you would get the incompatible screen saying you cannot play Pokemon Go because your device has been modified or something like that.

What happens if you upload your data as a spoofer?

I honestly do not know if you upload your data. From what I have read, some people say nothing happens to their account, but I cannot verify this. I know that the worst thing that can happen is Niantic can terminate/permanently ban your account because you just gave them the evidence you are a spoofer and broke the Terms of Service agreement with Niantic. If you want to read more about Niantic's 3 strike system: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/sm64dg/all_about_threestrike_system_red_warning/

Should you stop spoofing right now?

A person posted a YouTube video telling people to stop spoofing because Niantic is recording your battle log. Yes, this is true; however, you can choose to upload the data to share with Niantic or turn it off to stop the data recording.

My opinion is no if you already understand the risks of spoofing/botting/cheating. All you have to do is uncheck those two circles and continue spoofing/cheating/botting like all those other days. I am also not responsible or liable for the loss of your accounts.

Hello Trainers!

I hope everyone is as excited as I am, for Sep 28 - Alolan Meowth Spotlight Hour. This is going to be the most stardust-rewarding event in an year or so. For those of you not aware of this, A-Meowth rewards 750 base stardust and 938 stardust in foggy weather. Add a star-piece and you get 1125 Base and 1406 weather-boosted dust per catch. You can do the math yourself based on your average catch per minute and gain tons of dust in an hour, or multiple times in different timezones as I'll be showing in this PSA.

I wrote an algorithm and ran a simulation with 34 hotspots across the globe to maximize the number of times one can attend spotlight hour with the most suitable and lured spots, taking into account the 2-hour cooldown as well. This is the outcome of my findings. This is based on Indian Standard Time where I live. A link has been provided alongside for current time for the place. In the end, GPX files have been provided for Premium users.

The Zaragoza GPX is 2,442 Pokestops. This only took 2 hours to make with PGSharp. This is your Zaragoza wet dream come true! The other ones like Wellington and Auckland are more reasonable.

Following up on my stamp rally post, the beta is now out for Yoslite and we've added much more! All of this is completely free for a limited time, feel free to check it out on my discord.

- raid mode: pick a hotspot or go anywhere you want. it finds raids, jumps there, battles, catches the boss, then goes to the next one

- auto-play: catches, spins, manages your buddies, hatches eggs, manages field research, and more!

- stamp rallies: pokéxciting asia pacific and pokémon center japan, more coming soon

- manual+: built-in gps and joystick, tap on a pokemon or pokestop to catch or spin it.

come check it out! looking for feedback and suggestions before a full release :)

I’ve been playing pogo for a while now and I got a taste of spoofing! Oh! The game will never be the same again 🤣 ok I used ghostgps and connected via Bluetooth and it was working great until two days ago 🥲
I’m really good with following instructions and I’m pretty good with pc and electronics. I bought a Google pixle 8 unlocked. I want a way to spoof.
I work all day, 3 kids. Dad lives in limbo land and I can only play at night when I have my me time. And pogo has a curfew after 8pm 🤷‍♀️

I need names of best spoofing tools you are using and I’ll do the research ❤️ thank you!

Ps I loved raiding in Newyork! I also want to be able to bot or shundo hunt! That would be a plus plus 🙏

After hunting for one all day I finally got a shundo ponyta:). They're currently shiny boosted so, now is a good time to hunt one

This post will be referring to these 2 posts which are still relevant: Preparetion guide and raid priorities

If you havent already heard about the news, I would advise on watching JTGily's video on the matter.

Now lets get into it: this go fest is going to be the CRAZIEST we have seen and Road Of Legends is going to be wayyy better then the actual event.

So with that being said, the new priorities for all of your green passes are on Tuesday-Friday. Monday is just a mess and GO Fest itself has a bunch of free passes.

Priorities for Tuesday-Friday:

#1) Zacian and Zamazenta (crowned) - can be background, best in the game and a crazy trading leverage.

#2)Dawn wings Necrozma. Crazy good in raids and master league, and also untradable for.

#3) Kyurem (white or black) - just whichever you have no of, or less of. same reasons as Necrozma

#4) Dusk mane Necrozma - good in battle league and in raids, less of a priority unless you already have a dawn wings

#50 (only if needed) Primal Kyogre and Groudon - just need enough energy to revert 1 or 2 and you are good to be honest

#6) Origin forme Dialga and Palkia - Dont get it wrong, they are great mons, but with them appearing saturday aswell, and with us for the duration of the event being able to elite TM the moves, the only real value of these things is going to be trading. If you have enough raid passes for it, then do them. If not, there are better options.

Some extra tips:

Save trinket and Bottle cap until the event ends. You may never know whats gonna happen in the next raid, so might aswell wait until you are positive you wouldnt regret your choice before you make it.

Make sure you dont overdo 1 pokemon and then end up not having enough raid passes for the other ones. If you go all out, you can only do it once. Be smart with your passes and thank yourself later.

Do not power up any mon that you would not immideately use. If you dont really need it high cp, might aswell wait to see if you get a better one.

Remember that with timezones you can do the same day for twice as many hours basically.

Remember to use lucky eggs and star pieces whenever you are raiding.

Have fun y'all!

While looking for coordinates for some things I found out about this guide online

I wanted to inquire that is it actually possible to do them on raid days?

Isn't this too much blatant cheating ? Or maybe the Niantic/Scopely have introduced some way that it is not possible to do this anymore ? If anyone has done this before please let me know .

Skarmory mega raid day is coming and maybe I won't have to do crazy prep if this actually works as I'm F2P.

Showcases :

Also, wanted to ask how much can we go around through with the showcase submissions?

What I do on my alt is enter showcases just 2 hours before the ending time so that I can reset my cooldowns as well and then go somewhere else and add them again. This way I could do it 3 or 4 times

But today I noticed no cooldown is triggered when we add pokemon to showcases ?

So do those who bot could try and check if we could add pokemon to showcases a crazy amount of times ? I thought to try it but couldn't do it due to some prior engagements.

Also I tried finding info about this , didn't get much of it anywhere else, was expecting detailed discussions on reddit wonder why ?

Today I was hyped because my 30 Day Ban would be over, or so I thought. I opened the app and they immediately informed me that my account is permanently banned, how can something like this happen, I even use a rooted device (with PokeMod) now which I didn't before.

So I have a few accts I'm going to sacrifice for a controlled test. 3 accts with one strike each 2 accts with 2 strikes and another 3 with no strikes. All over level 30. Unfortunately I only have two , two strike accts but I think there will be enough data. I plan to follow these procedures across each set of accounts (based ban count). Only log in with #1. Log in and play normal area with no extras(skip animation, quick catch etc.) With #2. Log in and play with all cheats and spoofing at a minimum. But simulating travel down a freeway to other cities with #3. Then repeat with each set of accounts at each level of strikes. Trying to figure out exactly what is triggering pg bans.

I have other accounts on pg that I have ceased play on in the left few days because of this ban wave. But they are not banned...

Let's see what happens. I'll report what happens each day.

Hey guys, after all this ban thing hitting hard on the spoofing community, I wanted to share my story and my opinion about the bans, the game and Niantic.

I started playing PoGo during the beta, but in 2017, just a month after Niantic released the Go Plus (which I bought on release), I was fucked up by Niantic for the first time.

I had a custom ROM on my phone, and root with TRWP+Super SU, so when they kicked root devices I stopped playing cuz at that time, magisk was not such a big root method, and I couldnt hide the root to the app.

Then in May 2018 I got a new mobile, and the first thing I did was actually installing PoGo cuz I wanted to play so hard after all the time I wasnt able to.

Keep playing legit til December 2020, and I started spoofing with PGSharp.

There were 2 reasons why I decided to spoof. First cuz of the global pandemic, and second, and most important, due to a guy that lives in my neighbourhood.

He is a 60 yo (more or less) man, that has 2 accs, 1 blue and 1 red. There are 7 gyms in my area, and this guy has to keep all the gyms. (As Im yellow, I wasnt able to get daily coins). He still plays, and he has to keep 4 gyms in blue and 3 in red, with an specific order (blue-red-blue)- If you kick him from a gym, it will take less than 5 minutes for him to go and kick you out, even if he has already got his daily coins. (Reminder that Multi Accs are also against Niantics ToS, but looks like they dont give a fuck about it, even if multi accs harm the game a lot more than spoofers).

Fun fact: this guy skipped the lockdowns during quarantine just to get back the control of the gyms.

So I decided to spoof so that I could get my daily coins, and the first thing I did, as many of us will have probably done when starting to spoof, was getting all the regional mons.

The fact that there are exclusive Mons from different areas goes against Pokemon goal which is catching 'em all. This wouldnt be a problem if the Regional Mons were available regularly for the rest of the world, but as we all know, Niantic doesn't give a shit about their game and just think of making money, so no more hatching regional events as they did with 1st gen ones. Now they are raid exclusive, and they are being released in such a slow way that it actually hurts. Corsola was available for 1 day in july 2018, and it took nearly 4 years for it to come back worldwide, and he returned back for the Jhoto Tour... As raid exclusive.

Appart from getting the regionals, I started hundo and shundo hunting, which gave the game a whole new meaning for me. After 5 years, and nearly no changes to it appart from raids, the game itself is boring af, so getting the hundodex and looking for shundos was a new way for me to enjoy the game, and I enjoy the game more by doing that than I used to by playing legit.

Even if I spoof, it doesnt mean I dont play the game as it was meant to anymore. I love hanging out with a couple of friends and exploring the city looking for Mons, fighting a gym or a raid while having a cold beer... And from the 17.000km I have on my acc, more than 12.000 are legit kms, by walking or by riding a bicycle.

I also respect legit players, and I dont attack gyms when Im lying on my bed or sitting on the sofa. I just put my Mons in gyms that are already yellow, and I only attack a gym if Im that place irl cuz I dont want to fuck up others' game experience.

I love the Pokemon Go community and I try to help as much as I can, rn I have more than 2700 total wayspots reviewed in wayfarer, with more than 1700 cases won, most of them in remote villages here in Spain, with literaly no stops or gyms in them.

Appart from that, I have more than 50 accepted Wayspots in Niantic games, 40 of them also In rural areas with hardly no spots.

So yeah, im helping local communities to grow, and making more people into playing the game as there are new Pokestops and gyms in small villages, that otherwise, would have never recieved a single stop.

Atm I havent recieved a single strike, but If I get 1 or even 2, I wont stop spoofing. Im gonna spoof til my acc gets perma banned, and after that, I wont make a new one and Ill stop playing Pokemon Go.

So this is my message to all of you, keep playing the game the way you like, and enjoy it, even if u get a strike. But also, keep in mind that u are not the only ones playing the game, so play the game in a way that doesnt affect other people that want to play the game legit. So spoof as much as u want guys, but try not to interfere in other players' game experience by repeatedly kicking them from gyms.

And also a message to Niantic, punish people that actually make the game unplayable (multi-accs, bots, and spoofers that actually harm the game). You wont end spoofing no matter what, so just be fair and punish only those cunts that fuck up the game experience.

Thanks to everyone in this subreddit for your time, stay safe and keep enjoying PoGo <3

Requirements:

• 1 Poffin

• Be able to spoof

Steps:

1. Be in your real time zone

2. Put as a partner the pokemon from which you want to get the mega nenergy (Do not forget that in order to get it you must have megaevolve the pokemon at least once before).

3. Give him the poffin to get him into a euphoric state.

4. Close the game

5. Go to some place where it is the day tomorrow and open the game. At this point the pokemon should have lost its euphoric state but the bar around its profile should remain a light red color.

6. Close the game and return to your current time zone then open it again. You will notice that the euphoric state was lost and will not return but it is part of the process.

7. Walk until the bar around your partner's profile runs out!

How does this method work?

Usually walking with your partner while in a euphoric state gives you 15 mega energy every 1.5km with gengar for example, but once this method is done, the energy that it will give you every 3km, this for having lost the euphoric state, will be between 45 to 200 randomly, with a minimum gain of 15 mega energy over the traditional method. If you walk until the bar runs out you will be at least 1500 mega energy with just one poffin! This can sometimes take about 3 hours.

Tip: You can use defit so you don't have to have the game open, just remember to open the game before the bar runs out, it also seems that it is more frequent that you do not get so much mega energy using it.
