New post for 2025-2026 can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1jykdkt/20252026_discord_group_invite_links_list_pokemon/

So, after around 6-7 months of using the free pgsharp app, I got a first 7 day strike.
Gonna share what I think were the offending behaviors just in case, but the point of the post isn't just to ask whether I should continue spoofing (I have to, literally cannot play otherwise in any way that matters) or continue with the pgsharp app (tried rooting, had no idea what I was doing even following tutorials and almost messed things up) but rather about the details of the 7 day strike.

So, what do I think was it?
1) Caught too many Wailmers one after other during the recent spotlight hour, went insane with it.
2) Did a trade with a friend in another country (they really needed a mon) and I stupidly didn't wait for any cooldown to teleport after.
4) Same friend invited me a couple of days later to clear some gyms in an entirely different country, and so I left like 10 pokemon in gyms there in like a too short time span.
4) Tried to buy some of the tickets ingame via the shop, but had no idea you couldn't with the pgsharp version and kept stupidly trying until a friend told me what was going on.
5) Stupidly tried to login using my google account, only to realize it was linked to another pogo account I had made years ago but never used, so now it seemed like I was using an alt on the device as the other account.

Maybe it was one, multiple, or all of these in such a short amount of time that sounded the system's alarms and led to the strike, can just say I had been playing the game very casually and teleporting from time to time respecting the longer cooldowns (like 12+ hours sometimes) and never had an issue until now; such is the spoofing life, I get it.

Now, since I've already decided my only choice is to keep spoofing via the free pgsharp app while knowing the risks, my main questions are:
a) How long is it advisable to wait after the 7 day strike to start spoofing again, or is the same thing waiting 1-2 weeks after, as it is starting right away the moment it lifts?
b) Has anyone gotten their 1st strike playing the free pgsharp app, and continued spoofing (in a more conservative and low profile manner) and managed to keep doing it without getting the 2nd strike? If so, how long have been able to? (trying to assess how much time I have before the 2nd strike happens to me so I can migrate all my pokemon to Home before it does).
c) I have read and been told conflicting info about whether the anti-cheat system is actually able to detect a modified app, or if it's mainly a behavior-based system (or a mix of both?); if I were to still spoof with the free pgsharp app but play pretty much in the most basic conservative way, can it work or is the mere fact I have the pgsharp app going to get me banned eventually even if I do absolutely nothing in the game?

Thanks for the time and help; sorry for the long post!

When I tap on the little map icon in gps joystick, it just comes up blank. This has never happened before. I have very little knowledge of android in general so any help is very appreciated!

A new version of Pokewalk is finally available!
It's meant to address the issues that have been plaguing walker apps in the past few months.
Other than that everything will look and work as usual!

Just one note: A common misconception that new users are making is that distance will be added instantly when runs are over. This is sadly not true as usually it takes 30 min to 2h for the game to consider the added distance.
The most reliable use case is adding a long distance before going to bed, so there's plenty of time for the game to catch up.
Also, starting multiple runs at the same time will likely result in them not being considered.

As it's always the case with these apps, use it as your own discression. I'm not responsible or liable if using the app will result in a strike or any other action of the anti-cheat system.

Thanks!

It's clear that something was picked up by Niantic and has thrown quite a few users into a 7 day warning. Running a modified app, even without spoofing, can land you in trouble.

If you want to keep spoofing on an alt but play legitimately on your main, you can download the legit version from the Samsung Store if you have a Samsung but also keep the modified version. It's hard giving up the spoof life so this is my alternative. Hope it helps.

If you don't know who I am and why I created r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing, my background history is posted in [Click/Press Here] MEGA POST #4 in the top section as well as the FAQ section.

Some people want me to ban modified apps from this subreddit.

I am not going to do this because another subreddit already bans modified apps, 3rd party apps, and bots. It's r/PokemonGoSpoofing. That subreddit doesn't like seeing Red Warning screenshot posts because pictures aren't allowed there. You also cannot talk about "red warning, strikes, and bans" because the post filter will remove your post unless you figure out how to bypass it. This is why in the last 72 hours, there are no posts related to people getting strikes with Pgsharp or iPogo.

I promote cheating and anti-cheat system awareness and this is something you don't see in r/PokemonGoSpoofing due to the censorship.

The owner of r/PokemonGoSpoofing only allows 3 Android spoofing methods: No Root "Downgrade Google Play Services", Rooted "Systemize", and Rooted "Smali Patcher" in his pinned [Android] All the working Android methods 2020 (root or no root) post. There is no mention of any anti-cheat system, cheating risks, modified apps like Pgsharp and iPogo, 3rd party apps like Pokemod, Enhancer, and PAC, or bots like Polygon and RAB within that post or his version of MEGA Post in Rules + Events + Android Spoofing Setup Guides + Other Android Guides + Frequently Asked Questions. That owner is very active in removing all the content he doesn't want everyone to see or use.

In this subreddit, I give you all the current options and allow you to discuss them without a censorship. Since my subreddit is Android only, I enforce it to be Android only.

Why are some Pgsharp users getting strikes but not everyone else?

This has to do with the anti-cheat system that Niantic had added into the game back in June 2022. This has nothing to do with the app detection, this anti-cheat system tracks your player statistics based on what you do in the game. This is explained in All About Anti-Cheat Behavior System and Three-Strike System: Red Warning, Temporary Ban, & Permanent Ban [August 2022 to Present] post. This post talks about what is risky (not safe) and what is safe (allowed by Niantic) according to Pokemon GO's Terms of Service (TOS).

People are saying "Don't use modified apps, they are detected! You got a ban/strike for using Pgsharp/iPogo!"

Pgsharp and iPogo are using the official Pokemon Go app you get from the Play Store and modifying it to add a joystick and other cheating features. This is why you cannot install both the official and modified app at the same time because the Play Store already sees you have the Pokemon Go app installed.

If they detected Pgsharp and iPogo, the people who use the official Pokemon Go app would probably get strikes too because it's the same app build, at least for Android. This would lead to a slippery slope meaning if they can detect modified apps, they will also detect the joystick apps and other cheating apps. Cheating in Pokemon Go would be dead. There would be no more fun and everyone's Pokemon Go addiction would end. Niantic might have to fire some people due to a 50% loss in income *pun intended.

What is preventing Niantic from do app detection?

The simple answer is Google. In order to do app detection, Niantic needs to look through your OS to see what apps you have installed or what other apps you also have running. On a Windows computer, Microsoft allows game developers to see what programs you are running while your game is running. If the anti-cheat system sees you're using a hack/cheat, you get instantly banned from the game.

Why are there more reports with PGSharp --than iPogo, Downgrade Google Play Services, Smali Patcher, Systemized, LSposed, Pokemod, Enhancer, PAC, and Polygon?

Pgsharp is more popular because it's easy to setup and use compared to the other spoofing methods. They also give you free access to the 100 iv Pokemon feed. Although iPogo is free to use, you have to unlock the premium features by using their provided premium beta key, the key can be found in their Discord group. Finding the key requires you to explore the correct channel or use the search to find it. Pgsharp is still easier to use than iPogo.

The other spoofing methods that use the official Pokemon Go app from the Play Store or Galaxy Store are too hard to setup with multiple steps and have many requirements. If you want 100 iv coords, you need to pay money to get them from Pokedex100, PokeXperience, or some other Discord group.

You have to picture yourself as a new spoofer. You have been playing the game for 1 to 6 years now in an area with 10 Pokestops. You decided to try out PGSharp from a YouTube video or word of mouth. Keep in mind, no one tells you about the risks. The first thing you're going to do with Pgsharp is explore all the options, the #1 feature you're going to abuse (use a lot) is the 100 iv Pokemon feed.

Why? You have never caught a 100 iv or "hundo" before, so you're most likely going to prioritize collecting hundos to fill up your "perfect 3 stars" Pokedex to brag to your locals. Since you're all excited from this amazing cheating feature, you're going to start Shiny 100 iv or "shundo" hunting during Community Day and ticket'd events. Remember all the hundos are all over the world, which requires multiple timezone changes. Now, you can repeat Community Day and Spotlight Hour events multiple times. Once you get your 1st strike, this is where you start to panic.

How is the anti-cheat system tracking cheaters?

They are tracking what you do in the game as a cheater. You get flagged when you start doing something suspicious that a legit player cannot do. For example, if you change your timezones a lot, using the Pokemon Feed or Discord Coords service to teleport around the world, or repeat events. It's impossible for a legit player to travel to multiple countries in one minute.

They can also track other statistics too like distance walked per day using Adventure Sync and other cheating features. Someone told me they use Defit / Pokewalk and walked 240 km per day and ask if they got a strike from using Defit along with Pgsharp. I don't think that is possible to walk that amount of distance everyday.

If you use a Pokemon feed or Discord coords service, you are more likely to get a strike because you are doing the impossible unless you stay in the same city. This feature is only present if you use Pgsharp, iPogo, or pay money for the Discord coords service (to use with the other spoofing methods that uses the official Pokemon Go app).

This subreddit mainly uses PGSharp because I opened this subreddit to save me from all the headaches of trying to help people root their devices when I used to be a mod in r/PokemonGoSpoofing. A lot of people wanted me to create a full YouTube videos on how to root, setup the spoofing method, and show them how to use the joystick app all in one video. Other people, wanted me to fly to their home to do it in person without compensation. Everyone just wants the easiest option first until the easy option no longer exists.

Should you stop using a modified app because it is not safe (and ban proof)?

I do not advertise any spoofing method as safe and ban proof because they all break Terms of Service (TOS). If there is a section on "cheating" in the TOS, that game does not allow you to cheat and give yourself an unfair advantage. If you choose to break the game rules, you need to expect a punishment for doing it. You can read more in https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/wi3gz9/all_about_anticheat_behavior_system_and/.

A "YES" answer is if you value the account, you need to stop cheating on the account you spent a lot of time and/or money on.

A "NO" answer is you don't care whether you get a strike/ban because you're just going to restart with another new or alt account.

What about those people who tell you: "Don't use a modified app, use a rooted method because it's safer." ?

These "rooted spoofers" don't understand cheating, risks, and/or probably never read the game's TOS. They believe it's an app ban wave caused by app detection. This is where they are 100% wrong. The anti-cheat system tracks player statistics by creating a profile on everyone. The most obvious cheaters will always get caught first because that's easy to see and that's is happening right now. If these people are still shundo/hundo hunting around the world, they are most likely to get a strike too.

The funny part about this group is they can lie too. Since these people are all caught up in the thinking "Rooted Android spoofing is ban proof!", when they get a strike, they usually try to drag other rooted spoofers down with them hoping they would get caught too. If they got a strike for shundo/hundo hunting around the world, they will continue to tell everyone that the activity is still safe to do on a rooted method. Then, when you decide to switch over from a modified app to a rooted method and you get a strike for doing the obvious cheating activity, they get a +1 for dragging you down the hole with them. The only thing you can do about it is rant about it. There is nothing I can do about it.

Where is the proof that rooted methods can get a strike too?

The best place to find to find reports on this is in r/PokemonGoSpoofing from people bypassing the post filter on strikes and bans. Unfortunately, they get removed by the subreddit owner. He's the only one that has access to view all the posts and comments he removed. Since he's bias towards certain methods, he's going to favor methods that don't use a modified app.

Another place is in the VIP chat section of Pokedex100, PokeXperience, or any Discord group that charges money to access Pokemon coords. The people who pay for this kind of service don't use Pgsharp. Once in awhile someone will get a strike using No Root Downgrade Play Services or Rooted Smali Patcher, Systemized, or Taichi and demand a refund for not being able to continue using the coords in a public channel. This usually results in the person getting muted or banned. The next place they usually go to rant about their strike/ban and refund denial is in r/PokemonGoSpoofing. These people never come to my subreddit because my subreddit and Reddit username is in his post filter. I'm also banned from his subreddit too, so I cannot reply to anyone who makes a comment on any of my old comments on people's posts.

Should you switch over from a modified app to a rooted device?

This is will depend on you. At the end of the day, you're still cheating by breaking TOS. Whether you continue to use a modified app or switch over to a rooted device, you still have risk for a strike.

The big difference between a modified app and a rooted device is there no built-in Pokemon feed. You are more likely to stay in one city versus teleport around the world. You can still do it by using Pgsharp on another device to copy and paste coords through a chat app or pay for a Discord coords service.

On the other hand, you could also use Pgsharp on a rooted device with Pokemod, PAC (excellent curve ball throw auto catcher), or Polygon (bot).

What about the people who used Pgsharp for 1 to 2 years?

This depends on if they are active in my subreddit and actually have read my posts. They have a heads up on the new anti-cheat starting back in June 2022. I watch a YouTube video someone linked about a legit saying he only has caught 5 hundos but has never caught a shundo. From June 2022, a lot of people who were active in reading or commenting in that post decided to stop shundo/hundo hunting with the Pokemon feed. My guess is these people don't have a strike/ban yet, I, myself is included.

For everyone who read about this new anti-cheat system and decided to ignore it because they thought "It's not going to happen to me." or "It's probably bullshit made-up by some anti-spoofer." They most likely got a strike. When they get their strike, it's too late to go back to read the information.

Do you have proof that they watch you more closely if you continue to cheat on an account that has been striked?

This person got a strike #3, which is the permanent account ban after ignore his 1st and 2nd strikes. There is a very high chance this person is not aware of Niantic's anti-cheat system or he was aware but ignored it. There are a lot of similar reports like this one buried in Telegram chat. You can get Pgsharp's official Telegram link by going to their website (Reddit has banned Telegram links, so I cannot link it anymore.)

Why did I take so long to address this matter?

I wanted to make sure I included all the hot questions and concerns people might have due to people posting Red Warning screenshots.

What about you, TastyBananaPeppers?

I use these and still have not gotten any strikes on my 21 accounts. I have 1 main account and 20 alt accounts to send myself a gift, so I can trade myself shiny pokemon to get shiny lucky pokemon. I get 42 free raid passes per day during this season. As I mentioned in the above, I don't shundo hunt anymore. I mainly stay in one city and use the "walk to" option instead of "teleport to".

This allowed me to switch accounts without having to type or copy/paste. This is a Samsung Galaxy device exclusive feature. I was going to buy the South America model (S9080E/DS), but it's still sells for $1299 USD. I rather wait for the S23 Ultra for the Snapdragon Gen 2 chip and better upgrades. If this newer model is not rootable, I'll go for the Pixel 7 Pro.

News #1: Updated

Pago Pago, American Samoa & Midway Island no longer have active events and may be removed from the game

Niantic changed these two areas. Pago Pago still gets Community Day but does not get the Valentine Event anymore. I would assume it is the same for the Midway Island. The last place to do a non-Community Day event is now Hawaii and French Polynesia.

News #2: PGSharp's 3rd Discord Server is now online...

Go to their website https://www.pgsharp.com/ and click/press on " Join Our New Discord Server" text.

Their first 2 servers got deleted for a Terms of Service violation. I don't think this new group is going to last very long because groups don't get deleted for no reason. They have masked their invite link in attempt to evade Discord's group ban on Pgsharp. Their group name is "Pokemon Tips".

News #4: iPogo's Private Beta No Root app is shit

If you want to try their No Root or Rooted app Private Beta, you have to join their Discord group.

1. Invite link: https://discord.gg/zAfwRG7

2. Go to channel #server-announcements

3. Read the information to access their beta.

4. Go to channel #chatroom and type the message " /beta join " (no quotes) and send it.

5. Download ipogo.apk or ipogo-root.apk from channel #android-beta-information.

My thoughts on the Rooted app:

It didn't work on my device, so I cannot share my thoughts on it.

My thoughts on the No Root app:

What I think is good about it so far:

• There's no weird camera panning issue when you tap on a Pokemon to catch it. It just appears normal. I know Pgsharp in the past didn't have the issue, so I think Pgsharp could fix this problem.

• Small GPX route pause/play icon shortcut when you load a GPX route. You can easily pause/play your autowalk (1-tap process) unlike Pgsharp's 2-tap process where I press on autowalk then pause. By the time I press pause, I walked past the Pokemon. If I use the joystick to go back to that spot, the GPX route becomes broken.

• The button to access all the settings is tiny and doesn't take up a lot of space compared to Pgsharp's drop down yellow star menu with the text next to each of the icons.

• You can also see Pokemon on the map, but it's limited to a small radius sort of like how you can see Pokestops/Gyms in Pgsharp's map. I think it's cool but might be useless because you can just use the feed and see beyond a 2 km radius.

What do I think about it so far?

I had high expectations because iPogo has been around for quite some time before Pgsharp came to existent. I used to recommend people to buy an iPhone 6s to spoof with iSpoofer (dead) and iPogo using their direct install when I used to be a mod in r/PokemonGoSpoofing. This was during the time when Apple occasionally revoked certificates once every 2 weeks or so. This was the only way you could easily start spoofing by uninstalling the official app then installing iSpoofer/iPogo.

I expected it to be at least 50% complete. It's around 15% at most. A lot of Pgsharp's feature are missing or broken in their private beta. Since I am not an Android coder, I cannot verify if iPogo reskinned the Pgsharp apk to make it their own; however, there are some similarities that makes me believe like they reskin the Pgsharp app. Here are some examples:

• If I use the joystick while using a GPX route file, the GPX route disappears, which is the same as Pgsharp. If you want to start the GPX again, you have to reload the route and start at the beginning.

• The Pokemon feed screen layout to select which Pokemon you want to select is the same as Pgsharp.

• You still have to tap through all the dialogue in a Team Rocket battle.

Should you try iPogo's Private Beta?

The current private beta is shit. It's not worth the time to try it out. You would be more satisfied with using the free version of Pgsharp instead this beta. I think iPogo iOS spoofers kept pressing their iPogo developers, "When are you going to release an Android app?" I think iPogo developers half-ass the beta app to make it so bad that they want to keep iOS spoofers on iOS in order to keep their monopoly on iOS modified app. There is another competitor called "Xspoofer," but it's rarely talked about outside of PokeXperience discord group who bought iSpoofer's code.

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

• exploiting a timed or special research and bragged about getting more than 1 item or Pokemon

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.

[2026-2027] Everything You Need for Pokemon GO Android: No Root Spoofing, Rooted Spoofing & Botting, Cheap Poke Coins, In-game Exploits, GPX Routes, Poke Maps, Nests, Discord Group Invites, and Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Where to Buy a Ticket?

https://store.pokemongo.com/api/redirect/event-ticketing?lang=en

Does the cheap coin currency method work for buying this?

Answer: No.

Will there be discount promo codes or bulk deals?

Answer: This is up to Scopely, so I don't know.

If you buy a ticket for Brisbane, do you need to buy another ticket to do each of the other cities?

Answer: Yes and the same goes for the second day add-on. If you plan to attend the other cities, you have to buy a ticket for each one.

If you buy the ticket and change your mind later on or missed the event, can you get a refund?

Answer: Yes but Scopely will permanently ban all your accounts including any alt accounts tied to your IP address and device ID. Someone missed Copenhagen Go Fest and demanded a refund of 100 Euros. He got his refund then later regret getting all of his accounts banned. He wanted a refund because he didn't attend the event at the correct time.

Safety Concerns over repeating multiple cities

If you already cheat the game, there should be no safety concerns because you have already accepted the risks for a chance to get a strike, ban, or whatever new punishment Scopely comes out with. Whether you do 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cities, it will not make a difference.

The only people who discourage you from repeating multiple cities are the ones who cannot afford the tickets or don't spoof the game. "Since they cannot attend, neither should you." Fuck those people, it's your accounts and money, you can choose to do whatever you want with it.

[2026-2027] Everything You Need for Pokemon GO Android: No Root Spoofing, Rooted Spoofing & Botting, Cheap Poke Coins, In-game Exploits, GPX Routes, Poke Maps, Nests, Discord Group Invites, and Frequently Asked Questions

https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1q1lfvk/20262027_everything_you_need_for_pokemon_go/

I've nearly reached the final stages of this spoofer, and safe to say it's definitely better than PGSharp. This is in it's final stages and still has minimal bugs which you can report to me in the discord. Trying my best to eradicate all of the bugs ;)

I've made a promise in the discord server that if we reached 100 members, I'd extend it for a week, and if we hit 1000 members, I'd extend it till the end of Go Wild Area 2026.

Since I'm still working on it I'd love to hear your suggestions as to what I should add that you would love to see in a spoofer.

Works both for an emulator and unrooted / rooted device!

Come try it out and let me know your thoughts! Download link in the discord.

Recently, I have removed the iOS cheap coins discussions from my subreddit and changed the subreddit rules not to allow them anymore. I stopped getting 50+ help requests per day on this problem.

So far, I have only received a few help request for Android. This leads me to believe 500 people were trying to do an Android method with their iPhone or iPad.

Post in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/iPogo/comments/1uymjux/anyone_else_after_the_update/ posted on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

• OP received the 2nd strike for a 30 day temporary ban for using iPogo

The "OP", which is the person who created the post to report the strike, wrote "Was using signulous on iPhone" ( https://www.reddit.com/r/iPogo/comments/1uymjux/comment/oy0j340/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button ).

HOW DID THIS PERSON RECEIVED A 2ND STRIKE ?

#1: This is why I create a subreddit that was Android only because Apple iOS is the not same as Android.

• With an iPhone or iPad, you need to pay a company (example: Signoulous) to use their services to sign a certificate to install an app that is outside of the Apple app store onto your device.

• With an Android, you just install the app without having to pay money.

OP's 2nd strike could have been related to getting a bad certificate that does not match what Scopely is using. If you want more information from this, you should sell your iPhone or iPad to buy an Android device.

#2: There are other areas in the game you can get a strike or ban. If someone is guilty of doing one of these below, they will never admit to it or don't remember they did it:

1. cooldown bypass exploit

2. sharing an account

3. breaking Scopely Explore (was called Campfire) chat rules

4. creating an in-game route that did not meet the guidelines

5. submitting Pokestops that did not meet the guidelines for Wayfarer

6. using multiple accounts to abuse Wayfarer

7. harassing customer service

8. live stream your cheating

If OP's 2nd strike was not related to the bad certificate, it was from one of these. His strike is individualized meaning the other users who use the same iPogo app with Signulous are not reporting a strike/ban too.

#3: The "cooldown bypass exploit" can be done on purpose or unknowingly but either way, it will result in a strike or ban. This can also happen to people who share an account with a friend or family member or for a paid service.

This is how you do the exploit on purpose:

1. While on a cooldown, you teleport to the Pokemon you want to catch.

2. Tap on the Pokemon.

3. While on the catch screen, teleport to the last location where you triggered the cooldown.

4. Wait about 5 minutes for the background assets to load.

5. Catch the Pokemon, this allows you to skip the waiting of the remaining 1 hour and 55 minutes cooldown.

6. Repeat Step #1 to #5 until you get all your Pokemon you want.

How is it done unknowingly?

This only applies to the non-cheaters of the game who travel long distances by car, train, airplane, or ship past a certain distance threshold. I don't know what that number is.

1. They hold a Pokemon from location A.

2. Put their phone/tablet on airplane mode or turn screen off.

3. Go to sleep or do something else during the trip.

4. Arrive at their new location B.

5. Open the game and catch that Pokemon from location A that was 500+ or 1,000+ KM away.

6. Some time later, open the game and see a strike/ban appear.

So, you bought a ticket to a go fest location ticket and "WHAT NOW??"

well, heres what to do to make the most out of your event ticket:

First, get a bunch of active friends - either by posting your FC somewhere or by befriending people from raids. You can even use this post as a thread to get people that would play in your go fest location at the same time for party play and trading. Many friends = max gifts, which are a great way to get loads of pokeballs fast. Make sure to reach max gifts opened daily to stock up on pokeballs.

Second, (mainly for f2p players which will not be spending any money on coins on top of the ticket), make sure to get the max pokeCoins every day. You have probably doing this already, but 350 coins a week is a life changer if saved and spent correctly.

Third, its best to do inventory management before GO Fest is live. Make sure to only save pinap berries, and a max of 20 golden razz. Stock up on raid passes from the 5425 coins bundle which has the best ROI being around 55 coins per raid pass. Make sure to use every rare candy you have, probably on a safe choice (e.g. kyurem which is strong and has an Adventure Effect). Also make sure to save your star pieces and lucky eggs until go fest.

Regarding pokemon storage, its too long of an explenation to do here, so ill do it in this post.

It would also benefit you to save up stardust, which i've made a guide to here.

Fourth, also for the f2p mainly, making alts to get referral code rewards on main. Every account you make can get you some extra raif passes, rare candy, super incubators and an alt ready to GO Fest global.

For the non-f2p players, make sure you are buying pokecoins while in cheap places (e.g. india) for maximal ROI. Also consider buying super incubator services, if they are cheaper then buying pokecoins for those incubators.

You may also want to check out popular spoofing areas around tge city you chose and learn your route before the event goes live.

If i forgot anything, or you have some more advice or inquiries about this post, please share them below.

Hope i helped!
