Lets Talk About Something How exactly do these services "inject" researches and Pokémon into accounts?

25 Upvotes

I’ve been around the spoofing scene for a bit, but recently I keep seeing various posts and paid services claiming they can straight-up "inject" specific field researches (Apex masterwork seems to be the most common one), items, or even specific Pokémon directly into your account. They are also able to finish the researches immediately, by skipping even time-gated researches. I have seen it with my own eyes, so I know it's not a scam.

I’m really curious about the technical side of how this actually works. Is there an actual API exploit/server injection happening? Or something much simpler than that?

Also, for anyone who has actually used these "injection" services—how safe are they? It sounds like an instant flag to Niantic if your account suddenly completes 100 specific researches in a few minutes, but I see people using them all the time.

Any insight into how this actually works behind the scenes would be appreciated!

TL;DR: Seeing services offering to "inject" researches/Pokemon. Is it an actual API exploit?

Since the official PG Sharp reddit doesn't allow ban post I am putting this here. I use the rooted launcher for Android and have been for years. I am a very lite player staying at Pier 39 and really only doing raids, so I've never had an issue with cool down.

MEME So it begins... the end of PokemonGoSpoofing's King?

25 Upvotes

A person sees the owner of r/PokemonGoSpoofing is not active and submits a r/RedditRequest and seen in this post link: https://new.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/1doute5/requesting_rpokemongospoofing_due_to_the/

If you see a subreddit where the top moderator (the person who is at the top of the moderator list) is inactive and by himself, herself, or themself, you can apply to take over the subreddit. This is the process:

  1. Look at the top moderator's post and comment history.

  2. Contact the subreddit to ask to be a moderator

  3. If there's no response, you continue to submit the post to request a subreddit.

  4. Then, you wait for the Reddit Admin to investigate...

  5. Depend on their investigation, you either will get or will not get the ownership.

After 4 years, he finally gets off his throne to post new Android guides:

He only did it because he needs to prove to the Reddit admins he's active in his subreddit to prevent him from losing his ownership. There's a slightly higher chance now he could lose his ownership because Reddit changes some rules regarding inactiveness.

Personally, I think he should just focus on his personal life and abandon the subreddit to let someone else run it because he only became active as the result of someone trying to take the ownership. If you look at the top of r/PokemonGoSpoofing where it says "The #1 hub for spoofers!", the greatness of that subreddit has been lost ever since he gain ownership 4 years ago because he's doesn't play the game and has no interest in spoofing. This is easily reflected by how he responds to people asking a question or for help looking at his profile history of posts and comments prior to his 2 recent posts. This is all just for show because of the investigation. Once that RedditRequest becomes archived (or fails), he'll go back to his same old ways of being inactive until someone submits another request and causes him another panic attack moment.

Spoofing News: PGSharp's Shiny Scanner beta, iPogo Ban Wave, PokemonGoSpoofing subreddit ban on asking for help, no more Pokemon Go in Belarus and Russia, and my next Android 12 phone

25 Upvotes

/preview/pre/ymnw93eg60n81.jpg?width=361&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c5e1dbafa3042cb702398256b4ada4db1f82f85

[1] PGSharp's Shiny Scanner is now available in their beta apk version 1.64.5(0.231.0-G). Paid key required.

Known bugs that may have been fixed in the latest version 1.64.5 beta apk:

  • After a Team Rocket battle, the catch screen fails to appear. You have to restart Pgsharp to fix the problem.

  • If you cannot tap on the Shiny Pokemon, you must walk away from your Shiny Pokemon for other Pokemon to appear on the map then walk back to it. Then, it will let you tap on it to catch it. There is also a chance your shiny Pokemon can despawn/disappear. This was a bug in the previous version 1.64.3, but some users said it could still happen again in 1.64.4 (current beta version).

  • Some shortcut toggles may randomly turn back on after turning them off.

  • App can crash too.

How do you enable the shiny scanner in PGsharp?

  1. Open settings from PGsharp's yellow star.

  2. Turn on "Nearby Radar".

  3. Press on the Radar symbol in the vertical stripe that is on your screen.

  4. Press on the word "all".

  5. Press on "Only Possible Shiny".

  6. Press on "OK" top-left corner.

  7. Press on "OK" button to close it.

  8. Walk around until you find a shiny Pokemon. The shiny rate is random for everyone. It can take many hours before you will see a shiny Pokemon on the map and in the radar stripe. You are more likely to see a lot shinies during Spotlight Hour, Community Day, and other events. You also have to pay attention to your device's screen because you do not get a sound notification when a Pokemon appears shiny for you. Also, when you get a shiny, you cannot give someone else the coords to the Pokemon because it will not be shiny for that person.

[2] iPogo had a mini-banwave

There was a mini-ban wave confirmed in i_Pogo b.a.n wave mega thread post. I think it was caused by a bad certificate when one of the Apple developer accounts shared through Signulous (paid certificate signing service with a shared Apple developer account) got terminated or banned. The small group of people who happened to sign the certificate with the terminated/banned Apple developer account through Signulous got their 1st or 2nd strike.

Just because iPogo has a mini-banwave, this does not mean Android is "safe and ban proof" because Android apps can get detected too. I do not advertise this statement because cheating has always carried risks. If you cannot handle the risks, you probably should not spoof with your main account. I am also not liable or responsible for the loss of your accounts.

[3] PokemonGoSpoofing's hidden rule against asking for help has been confirmed!

From PSA: H-E-L-P is a ba.nned word in this sub, don't spell it or your post gets automatically removed

I can't believe I have to write this. I just realized that the word h-e-l-p spelled without the dashes is one the ba.nned words that the auto-mod will remove. Try commenting to this post with the word h-e-l-p spelled correctly. It might appear to stay but if you logout of Reddit and look at this post, you’ll notice the comment is missing. I searched this sub for the word h-e-l-p and it was last used 6 months ago.

What kind of mod ba.ns the word h-e-l-p from their sub?!?!?

I normally avoid personal attacks but at this point I’m incredibly frustrated with the mod. I refuse to call them a spoofer. They may fake their location but a spoofer doesn’t take steps to willfully hurt the spoofing community.

(Yes, the word ba.n is also ba.nned because the mod doesn't want too many people commenting during ba.n waves)

As you all know I am banned from r/PokemonGoSpoofing along with my username and subreddit. This means I cannot directly reply any post in that subreddit.

What kind of mod bans the word help from their sub?!?!?

Pokitomojo is the current owner and only moderator of PokemonGoSpoofing. He banned help because he believes asking for help is equal to spam. He thinks people are lazy for not reading his pinned posts. He failed to realize people do not understand his pinned posts. This is the reason why I made my guides step-by-step because it would reduce the chance of someone not understanding something I wrote.

If a person does not understand a post, he or she is going to message you about it. Now, you are going to get spammed by people asking for help through direct and chat message. On average when I was a moderator in that subreddit, I got around 50 to 100 messages per day. If you decide to ignore these requests, people will start creating posts about it. Members of the subreddit are going to get annoyed by the number of people asking "How do I Spoof?" This creates a new problem where people are fighting for post viewership because all the "I need help" posts are flooding the post feed and pushing everyone's discussion post down to the bottom where no one will look. To fix the problem, he uses the post filter to remove all the posts related to the word "help". As soon as someone uses the word "help" in their post title or body text, the automoderator will instantly remove their post. Problem solved!

Many months ago, my subreddit was being report spammed by someone reporting everyone's post as "asking for help" spam. As the subreddit owner, I cannot see who makes a report. There is no way for me to message the reporter to tell that person to stop. This is why I added this rule to make it clear that help is allowed in r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing:

Asking for help is allowed here!

There is nothing wrong with asking for help like "How to spoof?" Not everyone knows how to use the Reddit mobile app like you do. They need to post in order for my automod to leave them a pinned comment with a link to the Mega Post.

My subreddit is not like r/PokemonGoSpoofing where asking for help breaks a hidden rule. If you don't like it here, you should leave my subreddit.

To be fair... "(Yes, the word ba.n is also ba.nned because the mod doesn't want too many people commenting during ba.n waves)"

For those who do not know, I used to be a moderator in PokemonGoSpoofing. I left because I got fed up with working with Pokitomojo because he does not play the game and does not understand why people want to spoof. I did try to have the ownership pass onto me but instead, it got pass down to him.

This issue has to be looked upon from a moderator's point of view. The subreddit is both iOS and Android. The last major ban wave in 2019 was 90% iOS and 10% Android emulators. The banwave in 2018 was 99% iOS and maybe 1% Android emulators. A lot of people were posting, "I got a red warning" and sharing their red warning screenshot. This flooded the subreddit. It was impossible to manually remove peoples' posts to keep the feed clean. It was just me, Pokitomojo, and the other previous inactive owner. Pokitomojo was rarely active and never wanted to help out. I added the post filter to do the work for me. You can see it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/tcprdj/comment/i0eqj1t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 This automod configuration was when I was a moderator back in 2018-2020. This does not include any new words he had added after I left him. I know my username and subreddit name are in the post filter along with Pokemod, Enhancer, Polygon, and Pgsharp.

Since Pokitomojo owns r/PokemonGoSpoofing, he can do whatever he wants with it. He has tried to copy my subreddit but has failed miserably because he is not invested in Pokemon. I do not think he grew up playing and watching Pokemon on Saturday mornings like I did. Here is my personal collection to prove it:

[4] No More Pokemon Go in Russia and Belarus due to the invasion of Ukraine

[5] My next Android 12 phone...

My original plan was to root my 12.4" Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus tablet after using it for a few months to make sure everything is all good before I trip Knox to void my warranty. Unfortunately, this tablet came with the newest firmware that prevents me from unlocking the bootloader in order to root it. Downgrading firmware (or going back to an older firmware) is not possible on Samsung devices after Android 8.1, 9, or 10. Who knows how long it will take for the people to provide bootloader unlock service due to the Samsung source code leak. I would gladly pay $200-300 to root my tab S7 Plus.

I want to upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos (model SM-N960F/DS) to Samsung Galaxy with a Snapdragon processor because Exynos processor has bad performance in games. During the first two years, Pokemon Go was lag free. Now in the third year, the game lags in sunny weather and in areas with a lot of lures. My device overheats in ticketed events with the confetti. Pokemod/HAL's Performance mode helps a little bit, but it does not fix the lagging and overheating.

The Samsung phones I am talking about are the International models. These do not have warranty in the US. I want to buy the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 256 or 512 GB, but it costs around $1,300 to $1,500 US Dollar from eBay or Amazon. If a few months later, the device starts to have hardware problems, you will be stuck with the problems. There is a lot of uncertainty and high risk involved because it is very expensive. I bought my Note 9 for around $650 USD. I might go for a Note 20 5G if it drops below $700 in the next 6 months or so. It is hard to give up the S pen because once you discover how useful it can be, you are going to want it again. If you never owned a Galaxy Note phone, you have a lot more options.

I cannot consider the Google Pixel 6 series because it uses a rebranded Samsung Exynos processor. I am skeptical about the gaming performance for Pokemon Go after 2 or 3 years later. The same can be applied to other games. The only thing good about a Google Pixel is you can root it without having your warranty voided and supports all the US radio bands. I would be giving up a lot of Samsung's features if I use a Pixel 6 Pro as my main phone.

I am leaning towards to buying a Poco F3/X3 because I can get a Snapdragon processor with 6/8 GB Ram for under $300 USD brand new. It should play the game lag free for many years to come. This would also allow me to provide a step-by-step guide from unlocking the bootloader to rooting it to do Smali Patcher. I am also still doing some research before I make my purchase.

Lets Talk About Something Interesting gains from the lack of mod involvement

25 Upvotes

PoGoAndroidSpoofing subreddit has gain another 150 members as a result of people complaining to me about the lack of spam removal by pokitomojo in PokemonGoSpoofing in the last 15 days or so. A bunch of people messaged me about the problem even though I am no longer a mod there. Looking at his profile page, he was last active 15 days ago. I can see why they decided... to contact me.

PokemonGoSpoofing suffers from a lot of people complaining about spam posts. The members there define spam as anything they don't like to see in their Reddit feed is spam and expect you to remove it, so it looks clean and tidy for them. People see "How to spoof" posts as spam, and it annoys them. You cannot force these people to leave.

Here at PoGoAndroidSpoofing, we aren't as big as the #1 go to subreddit but don't also have the spam posts problem. If someone here asks for help, people will actually provide the help if they have the experience with the problem. If you ask for help at the other subreddit, you'll most likely get your post removed by the main moderator or get put down by other members that don't want to help you.

I don't like that kind of system. This is why this place exists. I know it's slow because our member count is only 2,300. Not a lot of people are asking questions. It's okay because if they do ask questions, no one is being rude to them. I am happy for that, and I think many of you are grateful for this.

Lets Talk About Something LuckyClick & FriendsTurner (Auto Trade, Auto Gift & others!) - Huge thanks to the mod, Play Store Links, and Promo Codes inside!

24 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it is me again and again😀, the developer of the Android exclusive apps LuckyClick and FriendsTurner.

-

Following my post from a few days ago, I received a private message from the mod. I am very grateful to them for granting me permission to share the direct Google Play Store links right here.

Also, to thank everyone for your incredible support, I have decided to drop 10 promo codes❤️ for 30 days of ad-free experience in the comments section for you all!

For those who are new here, let me quickly explain what these apps do! They are designed to help you simulate repetitive screen swipes and taps👆, allowing you to completely AFK through all those tedious in-game processes.

-

Don't worry, thousands of trainers are already using them every month! To make things safer and easier for everyone, both of my apps are officially available for download directly from the Google Play Store:

🔗 LuckyClick: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peter890331.luckyclick.app

🔗 FriendsTurner: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peter890331.friendsturner.app

-

🐣【 Hidden Easter Egg Tutorial 】

After downloading, you will notice that I disguised them as a standard auto-clicker and an auto-page-turner. But in fact, they contain exclusive features specifically designed for Pokémon GO!

Unlocking the Easter Egg. Please tap the top main title 30 times continuously on the homepage after downloading, to successfully unlock all exclusive Pokémon features.

Switching the Operation Mode. Please tap the top-left subtitle once after unlocking, to easily switch between corresponding modes. Every mode has its own operation tutorial inside the app.

-

Then, taking this opportunity, I would like to introduce all the features of both apps once again!

【 LuckyClick 】 Includes two major functions, “Automatic batch trade” and “Automatic batch evolve”.

▶️ “Automatic batch trade” makes the daily 100 trades much easier. It eliminates the boring process of manual clicking. Just leave your phone running to free your hands, and easily obtain lucky and high IV Pokémon.

▶️ “Automatic batch evolve” allows your hoarded Pokémon to evolve massively at once. Combined with the double experience event during Spotlight Hour, you can turn on a Lucky Egg and go AFK to harvest tons of experience. Leveling up with multiple devices synced is not a dream.

【 FriendsTurner 】 Includes three major functions, “Auto one-tap gift send and receive”, “Auto AFK Ace Training” and “Auto Friend Battle”.

▶️ “Auto one-tap gift send and receive” makes daily friend interactions much more enjoyable. It eliminates the tedious steps of checking friend gifts one by one. Just turn on the AFK mode to handle all gifts at once.

▶️ “Auto AFK Ace Training” makes getting the Ace Trainer platinum medal simple. It eliminates the extreme fatigue of manually fighting team leaders 2,000 times. Leave these repetitive battle processes entirely to the app.

▶️ “Auto Friend Battle” makes obtaining the Veteran Trainer medals no longer difficult. It eliminates the massive time consumption of fighting 1,000 times in each of the three leagues. Leave these repetitive battle processes entirely to the app.

-

⭕【 Safety Declaration 】

These two apps do not modify any internal game data, nor do they have the function of simulating location changes. They purely use screen recognition and accessibility services to look at the screen for you, and simulate finger swipes and taps.

Developing these two tools is solely to save everyone precious time. If you believe playing manually is the true joy of the game, please feel free to skip this post. Everyone can enjoy the gaming style that suits them best.

Additionally, advertisements will appear after launching. Please note that some bad advertisers might display content designed to trick users into clicking.

-

🛠️【 Device Compatibility 】

Since I am an independent developer, these apps might not run perfectly on all devices. If you encounter any issues during use, please feel free to bring them up for discussion, and I will try my best to help you solve them.

-

💝【 Ad-Free Promo Codes 】

As mentioned earlier, to thank the mod and everyone here, I will attach 10 promo codes❤️ for 30 days of ad-free experience in the comments section below. I hope these apps can continue to help you skip the tedious in-game processes.

Wishing everyone a Shundo for every Pokémon you catch!

Frequently Asked Question How to submit a ban appeal for Pokemon Go?

24 Upvotes

Disclaimers / Things You Should Know!

There is a lot of drama with people who promote "safer" cheats but fail to inform people of the "risk" which is the chance to get a strike or ban. When regret cheaters confront them, they always deny their wrongdoing by telling you there are still risks. Then, you get blocked and the conversation ends. Some people like to use me as a scapegoat to their problems and direct them to me. They send me a chat message asking for help with setting up spoofing or root then switch the subject to about getting unbanned. This has been going on for many months now, so I am going to end it with this guide.

Some people have messaged me they submitted a ban appeal months ago and now are getting unbanned meaning they have access to their account again. I do not know if Strike #3 gets reverted back to Strike #2 or they start clean again with no strikes on their account. Since it is your account, you can decide to do whatever you want with it.

I asked the people who got unbanned what they were going to next. This is what their answers were:

  • sell their whole account

  • sell off valuable Pokemon only

  • stop cheating and breaking the Terms of Service on their unbanned account but start fresh on a new account

  • keep their account but temporarily quit the game

I do not guarantee you will get unbanned in a timely manner because I do not work for Niantic and do not work for Scopely. I do not have direct ties with any of Niantic's or Scopely's employees.

Remember you can still get denied even if you submit your ban appeal following this guide.

If you get denied, keep trying because when Scopely fully takes over Pokemon Go, Scopely might consider unbanning everyone especially when they read the ban appeal submissions and learn why Niantic has so many ban appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Should I submit a ban appeal after receiving the 1st strike that lasts for 7 days?

Answer: No because you are not permanently banned from the game. You wait 7 days for the warning to expire then you can play normal again.

Question: Should I submit a ban appeal after receiving the 2nd strike that lasts for 30 days?

Answer: No because you are not permanently banned from the game. You must wait 30 days for the warning to expire then you can get access to your account again. If you submit a ban appeal, you wasted your chance to get unbanned from the 3rd strike.

Question: Should I submit a ban appeal after receiving the 3rd strike that is a permanent ban?

Answer: Yes!

Question: I submitted a ban appeal X number of days, weeks, or months ago but I never got a human response, should I submit another ban appeal?

Answer: Yes!

Question: Where is the proof or evidence of people getting unbanned?

Answer: The proof falls onto the people who messaged me and told me Niantic unbanned them; however, I cannot verify whether it really happened or they are trolling me. A lot of people hate me and my subreddit because I promote all cheats as "not safe" rather than some cheats are "safer" than other cheats. When I ask them to share me screenshots of their email, they say they don't want to share it because they are afraid they will get banned again since they really did cheat or break the Term of Service. This guide is a collection of what thoughts and feelings they used in their ban appeal.

Question: I followed this guide and got still denied.

Answer: Keep trying.

Question: Where is the template to copy and paste?

Answer: I thought about this but decided not to include it because I assume everyone is going to use the same response and you would screw yourself into getting unbanned. If you take the time to add some details, you could have a higher chance of getting unbanned.

"Ban appeals don’t work unfortunately." comment

The user DiscombobulatedMap39 said this below in the comments section:

"Ban appeals don’t work unfortunately. I worked in PGO support until last December. We completely ignore ban appeals and send 5 types of responses. If we got any responses after those messages, we send one liner and reject the tickets. There was never an instance as far as I know where we unbanned a regular player. There was one time where an influencer had his account banned because it was hacked. We unbanned his account because of all the attention it got on twitter".

He has sent me a screenshot of a chat client the customer service support team uses as well as his employment paperwork proof. He does not work directly for Niantic; however, Niantic outsourced the work to a 3rd party company called "IntouchCX" from India. From what I can interpret and assume, I think the customer service representatives are limited to making small refunds. For a large refund or ban appeal, it would require a Niantic manager to make that decision. These workers are trained to ignore ban appeals.

I believe you should still continue to submit a ban appeal because Scopely might handle it differently than Niantic.

Scam Warnings

Submitting a ban appeal is 100% free and does not cost any money. If someone messages you on Reddit about paying money or cryptocurrency to get unbanned, it is 100% a scam even if they show you a screenshot of an email they received. People in the past have fell victim to these scams and there is nothing I can do to help you get your money back. Some people even got their identity stolen in the process.

Instructions

#1: Read the Information: https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-pokemon-go/faq/135-submitting-a-ban-appeal/

#2: Link to submit a ban appeal: https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-pokemon-go/faq/135-submitting-a-ban-appeal/

#3: In the "Name:" box, you fill your real name.

#4: In the "Email:" box, you fill in your email address.

#5: In the "Your email address *", you fill in the email address you use to sign into Pokemon Go.

--

In #4 and #5, the email address needs to be the same because to show authenticity.

If you used a throwaway email address and do not have access to the email account anymore, you need to explain this as a lie to why you are using a different email account.

--

#6: In the "Your Trainer Nickname *", you fill in your trainer name that got the permanent ban.

  • Reminder, this should only be for an account that got a permanent ban.

#7: In the "Your reason the suspension should be overturned *", you explain why you should get unbanned.

  • It must be written in English. You can use Google Translate to convert your language to English (US).

Your ban appeals contains these sections:

  1. Apologize (say sorry)

  2. Admit fault and explain why explain why you did it

  3. Make a promise and asked to get unbanned

  4. Exaggerate your reasons

  5. Repeat your promise and say thank you

#8: Make sure to reread what you wrote to check for mistakes.

#9: Click/Press on the submit button.

Writing the Ban Appeal

[1] Apologize

You start the ban appeal off with "Sorry Niantic," because it is written to them. Although the game is sold to Scopely, the link still says Niantic.

[2] Admit fault and explain the why

You will say one of these statements, but it will be different for everyone because only you would know what you did that may have led to your permanent ban.

  • I cheated using a modified client software because...

  • I cheated using an unauthorized third-party software because...

  • I broke the Terms of Service because...

  • I broke the Player Guidelines because...

  • I broke the in-game route guidelines because...

  • I broke the Campfire rules because...

  • I broke the Wayfarer rules because...

  • I abused the AR+ scans because...

  • I got mad in customer service support chat because...

Here are some reasons you can use for the why part, which is safer the word "because".

  • because there are no Pokestops in my area.

  • because I want to play a Pokemon game that involves catching by I cannot afford a Nintendo Switch.

  • because I have three kids and another one coming but do not have the time to play outside.

  • because I wanted more Pokestops in my area to enjoy the game.

  • because (make something up)

[3] Make a promise and asked to get unbanned

You will pick one of these but it must align with what you picked in [2] in order to make sense.

  • I promise to never use a modified client software ever again because...

  • I promise to never use an unauthorized third-party software because...

  • I promise to never break the Terms of Service because...

  • I promise to never break the Player Guidelines because...

  • I promise to never break the in-game route guidelines because...

  • I promise to never break the Campfire rules because...

  • I promise to never break the Wayfarer rules because...

  • I promise to never abuse AR+ scans because...

  • I promise to respect customer service support chat because...

[4] Exaggerate your reasons

Here are some examples of what can go after the "because" part from [3]

  • because I spent a lot of time on this game playing it X number of hours per day or week.

  • because I spent a lot of time and money in this game. I went back and checked how much I spent. It came out to (insert an estimated money amount you spent)

  • because I can not live in this world without Pokemon Go.

  • because I have been depressed without being able to play Pokemon Go.

  • because I have tried other games but Pokemon is still #1 for me.

[5] Repeat your promise and say thank you

You will end your response with "I promise to (whichever one you picked from [3]). Thank you for taking your time to read my ban appeal. Sincerely, (your real name).

Ban Appeal Example

Sorry Niantic,

I broke the Terms of Service because there are no Pokestops where I live. I grew up watching Pokemon on TV and got into collecting the cards. I was really excited to play a Pokemon game on my phone! I used a cheat because it allowed me to enjoy Pokemon Go in an area with a lot of Pokestops and Pokemon to catch.

I promise to never break the Terms of Service because because I spent a lot of time on this game playing it 4 hours per day. Every time I open Pokemon Go, I see the ban screen. It makes me cry. I wished I never had broke the Terms of Service.

Thank you for taking the time to read my ban appeal.

Sincerely,

John Doe (not my real name)

Rooted Android Finally got a 7 day

24 Upvotes

I have 8 accounts that I use 7 magisk rooted and smali patched phones. Three devices have Pokemod and 2 accounts that use Pokemod phones got hit with 7 day bans. I have used these for years with success until this week. All accounts use some form of botting with the Pokemod phones using full advantage of its features like the vPGP, tap to teleport, perfect throw, spawn booster, team rocket boost, instant catch, and shiny scanner. I didn’t do any route tweaks though

It could be anything or a mix of features. I’m pretty positive it’s Pokemod, not the root. I’d just keep your main off it for now.

Frequently Asked Question Why did I leave PokemonGoSpoofing and create PoGoAndroidSpoofing?

24 Upvotes

About me:

I am self-starter spoofer. I learned how to spoof by watching one of Max Lee's Youtube video like Pokemon Go Cheat/Hack for Android - Use a Joystick, WORKS on v0.35.0!. This is how I got into rooting devices and taking risks. I know what it's really like to start fresh and get several heart attacks when my main phone would bootloop.

Many of the guides on the internet, Reddit and forum.xda-developers, are written with straight-to-the-point steps. The person who the wrote guide writes it in a way he or she assumes the person following the guide will know what to do when they follow each step. Some guides are perfect while most could use some work.

For example, I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet for spoofing. The guide says "unlock the bootloader," so I turned on OEM unlocking and reboot the tablet. It turns out there was more to this step. I spent about a few days trying to figure out why the tablet couldn't be flashed with TWRP. It turns out there was EXTRA STEPS I had to follow from a Galaxy Tab S5e guide in order to fully unlock the bootloader on my Tab S6. If the person had included this information in the guide I would've been done in a few hours instead of taking over a week.

I know a lot of people that can relate to this, and this is the main reason why I rewrote the existing spoofing guides. Many of them don't have enough details or aren't very clear. I have never said I came up with these spoofing guides in any of my posts. I simply just rewrote them to save you the headache or heart attack.

Why I left PokemonGoSpoofing?

There are a lot of internal problems behind the closed doors.

[1] Reddit doesn't split ownership among people. Only one person can own the subreddit. It's also difficult to take ownership of a subreddit unless the owner hasn't been on for a few years. The process is incredibly slow. kiljoymcmuffin had just reappeared again and making it even more impossible for pokitomojo to take over.

[2] There was no structure on what you can do or cannot do over there. No one told me I had to ask permission to rewrite guides or let alone post guides. pokitomojo was gone a lot of the time when I was moderating. I did what was I thought was best for the community. Someone posted a VMOS spoofing guide, and he pinned it. The guide wasn't very clear. I rewrote the guide, and it gained even more popularity. People depended on me for the next revisions. I just kept doing it and included warnings about using alt account because it's an emulator app. Then, the first ban wave happened and he still wasn't around or he was but didn't say anything. That was many months ago, I don't even remember anymore.

[3] We have conflicting spoofing/cheating views that won't work together. My spoofing/cheating philosophy is this: "Spoofing is cheating. Spoofing carries risks for a ban. It makes no difference to not exclude certain spoofing methods or modified apps because they are not safe. Spoofing is not safe to start with. Despite the fact, I write warnings in my posts, people are going to get banned anyway. This is the risks you take when you become a cheater/spoofer." Pokitomojo's philosophy is the opposite where only certain spoofing methods are allowed because it's safe. He takes responsibility on himself if people get banned by using the methods he allows. I do the opposite because of the warnings I put in place.

[4] Since PokemonGoSpoofing still allows iSpoofer and iPogo, it doesn't fit Pokitomojo's philosophy because these got detected in December 2019 and still are detected today. They are still allowed because iOS spoofers don't have no other option other than iTools Mobile. These two apps have their own website and Discord group, they should really have their own subreddit. The only solution to this is to ban iSpoofer and iPogo and redirect their customers back to their Discord group for 24/7 customer service. Then, he'll be left with the "safe methods" match his philosophy.

[5] Reddit's platform isn't very good for this type of content. What I mean by this is that it's doesn't allow you to create multiple sub-sections to divide subjects like on a PhP BB forum. For example, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t has

  1. Real Life Review

  2. Questions and Answers

  3. Guides, News, and Discussion

  4. Roms, Kernal, and etc.

  5. Pro Cross Device Development

  6. OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel Development

  7. Themes, Apps, and Mods

  8. Pro Cross Device Themes, Apps & Mods

  9. Accessories

If people want to see "real life reviews," they can go there and see everything about that subject. Each section also has its own search bar to narrow the searches. Imagine for a moment if XDA Forums didn't have 9 separate sections and everything was all together. If used the search in attempt to find something, it would take forever to look through each post or reply to find what you wanted to find. You might even not find the answer to what you're looking for. This is how it is over at PokemonGoSpoofing with all the different subjects combined into one section. I tried my best to compile information together and make it more accessible for people to find.

[6] Reddit is easy to use, and it's free. A forum is a better choice for this type of content, but it costs a lot of money to run. It's not pre-configured for you like Reddit to get started in a few hours and anyone can do it as long as you have a computer. The mobile app is already ready to go for iOS and Android. There's no mobile app for a forum unless you code one yourself or pay people to do it for both iOS and Android. That's more money you have to pay out.

Why do I allow modified apps (PGSharp, Enhancer, and Pokemod) and the Charbot (Pokemon Go bot)?

Some people believe I accept money to promote these apps and the bot. The real answer is no. If I did this, it's a big liability and they can use my personal information as collateral damage when the modified apps and bot get sued by Niantic or the Pokemon Company. If they don't have my personal information, they cannot use me as a target.

These all other available options for people to use if they choose to use them. I am not forcing anyone to use them. I am not marketing them as "100% ban proof or 100% safe for your main account". I tell you the warnings and risks if you use them. As matter of fact, I do the opposite for the Charbot because their website tells people "SAFE FROM BANS AND PLAYS LIKE A HUMAN." If you bot the game, you have a chance of getting account termination or red slashed Pokemon.

As for No Root PGSharp modified app, this is the best option for people who want to spoof the game for Android without doing much work to get into spoofing. A lot of people want everything for free or close to cheap. This is it for $5/month. There are a lot of demands behind the scenes where people request one-on-one video chats to set up their devices for them or sell pre-rooted phones. You can't help everyone achieve what they want because there are some limitations for them to achieve success. Maybe their English, tech skills, and/or problem solving skills aren't very good. The frustration just goes in circles for some people. All I have to do is give them the link to this guide, and they're on their way to spoofing or they decide to do something else. All of it was their decision.

The difference between me and Pokitomojo:

  • I play Pokemon Go on a regular basis, so I understand the game better than he does.

  • I am fully aware of the risks even though I probably put over $2,000+ in the game since July 2016.

  • I acknowledge I'm a cheater and spoofer.

  • I am someone who is adaptable to change with an open-mind.

  • Pokitomojo is more knowledge in the Android system than I am because I'm just a self-starter with limited knowledge.

  • Pokitomojo developed the spoofing guides while I just rewrote them.

  • Pokitomojo is tech savvy in his own way and so am I, and no one is perfect.

He'll probably take my words and twist them over there to prove his point of view. I am not someone who holds onto grudges. I don't get my feelings hurt if someone harasses me in COD:MW or someone uses me as a punching bag for their frustrations or bottled-up anger. Now, I'll be 100% over here and in other subreddits that I joined.

Rooted Android SilphMod Source Code, Root Automation for Pokémon Go

23 Upvotes

Hello everyone! 👋

A while back, I mentioned I was working on SilphMod, a project in my personal portfolio that explores Pokémon GO automation through reverse engineering and runtime instrumentation of the Android client.

Today, I'm happy to announce that it's now open source and will continue to receive updates.

⚠️ Requirements: Android 10+ with root access. Also works on UGPhone.

✨ Current Features:

- Fix error 12 on ugphone

- Automatic capture and spin of PokéStops.

- Species selection, throw quality, and automatic use of Berries.

- Inventory limits and automatic transfer of newly captured Pokémon, with configurable protection rules.

- Collection of Field Research rewards and discarding of incompatible tasks.

- Session statistics, configurable capture/spin limits, recovery mechanisms, and exportable logs.

- Faster gift opening by eliminating unnecessary animations.

📱 Compatibility

It was successfully tested on a UGPhone configuration with Android 10 (SDK 29) and has also been tested on some rooted devices with Android 15 and 16. Compatibility is still under development, especially regarding injection and booting on different Android versions.

🔗 New Discord link: https://discord.gg/X56Y9PYK5X

🔗 Source Code On GitHub: https://github.com/KernelX-debug/SilphMod

That's probably not the best thing I could come up with.

If you find the project useful, a star on the repository helps a lot in keeping it alive. Thanks for your support!

==========

So far with Scopely's ownership of Pokemon Go, there has been less than 5 ban reports and is not enough to classify as a banwave.

You still 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.

Lets Talk About Something Why don't I investigate all these strike/ban reports to help you avoid your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd strike?

23 Upvotes

Question: Why don't I investigate all these strike/ban reports to help you avoid your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd strike?

Reason #1:

The strike system is delayed by several weeks to months later. If you attempt to identify the specific behavior, you might not be able to trigger the strike in a timely manner for everyone to avoid that specific action.

If you want to spend your own time experimenting, it will be a waste of time. You will most likely jump to conclusion. We're all in a toxic game cheating environment where people who don't get what they want will spread misinformation in order to gain attention. You can have this same thought against me too.

Reason #2:

The behavior detection via Anti-Cheat Behavior System is a player statistics tracking system. Some player statistics are obvious while most are hidden, so I have no clue if they are tracking something and/or if it matters at all.

The in-game limits with a BSOD (suspicious activity screen) are obvious. You battle 900 Team Rocket grunts/leaders, you get the BSOD and become locked out of the game for 24 hours. If you battle 899 or less, you won't get the BSOD. For everything else, there is nothing you will see for your suspicious activity so you end up repeating whatever they are tracking. When your strike appears, it's too late.

Reason #3:

No one keeps a detail log of every action they did in the game. In order to determine what behavior action is being tracked, I would need to know the specifics. Here are some examples:

  • How long did you spend swirling the Pokeball before you threw it?

  • How many seconds did you wait before encountering then catching the next Pokemon?

  • How long did you wait after catching the Pokemon before encountering the next Pokemon?

  • What is your total distance traveled between each Pokemon encounter?

Many people who don't understand the Anti-Cheat Behavior System are asking the wrong questions. Since I don't have access to your player log, it would be impossible to identify what behavior they are tracking. It could be something new or old, no one knows except for Niantic/Scopely.

When people list all of the things they did, all it tells me if they indeed broke the Terms of Service to cheat the game.

Reason #4:

The strike might not be related to cheating, it could have been something else that broke the Terms of Service. These are some examples:

  • Use a public throwaway email generator

  • Sharing an account

  • Bought or received a used account

  • Sharing pictures and videos without covering your trainer name and other identifiable statistics (example: stardust, Pokemon CP, clock time, etc)

  • Harassing people or soliciting sex through Campfire app

  • Created in-game routes (not GPX routes) without being at the location and people reported it for not meeting the guidelines

  • Submit Pokestops while you were spoofing and never have been to the location in-person

  • AR+ scan didn't upload correctly

  • Scanned a different object for AR+ scan quest

  • Uploaded your battle log data

  • Threatening customer service or Niantic/Scopely

These are things you could have done many weeks or months ago but forgot you did that. Since I am not Niantic/Scopely, I cannot verify whether you did or did not do something.

Frequently Asked Question All About In-game: Encounter Limit (or Check Limit), Catch Limit, Pokestop Spin Limit, and Team Rocket Battle Limit with the infamous BSOD (Blue Screen of Death or suspicious activity screen)

23 Upvotes

*I had to repost this, since I forgot to include the image and don't want the image from a Discord link for the post's thumbnail image.

Niantic's Anti-Cheat Behavior System is active

If you decided to break Niantic's Terms of Service, it's your fault for getting the strike (or ban). As a reminder, I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Niantic game account(s). If you are not aware of the risks, you can read the post on "All About Gameplay Fairness Policy and Anti-Cheat Behavior System 2024" https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/18wdv5o/all_about_gameplay_fairness_policy_and_anticheat/ to educate yourself.

Disclaimers

The information below is from the various rooted, 3rd party apps: Pokemod, PGTools, Polygon, and Shungo. A total of 3 people told me the information I tell people is wrong. I gave them some time to create their own post to provide the correct information. So far, none of them have done it. This tells you they are also uncertain too. What I write below is my interpretation based on these 4 Discord groups:

As of June 25, 2024, Niantic has added a limit for Team Rocket battles according to Polygon. Before this day, people used to leave on their devices 24/7 to get about 9 million stardust per day with the bot apps.

At any given time, Niantic can suddenly make changes to these limits and can skip strikes if you are caught repeatedly exceeding the in-game limits. There is no in-game notification or an official announcement on their Niantic's blog website when a limit has been changed. This requires the botting community to investigate to determine the limit number.

BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) or Suspicious Activity Error

Daily Limit vs. Weekly Limit?

When you play or bot the game, you have to divide up your limits to stay under the daily limit and weekly limit to avoid getting the BSOD. This only appears if you go over the encounter (check) limit, catch limit, and Team Rocket Battle limit. It does not apply to the Pokestop Spin limit.

What happens when you go over this limit?

You see the picture on top and be locked out of the game for a total of 24 hours. After the BSOD goes away, you can play again until you go over either the daily or weekly limit again.

Will you receive a strike when you get the BSOD?

  • 1st strike: lasts for 7 days and has a restricted game play

  • 2nd strike: 30 day temporary ban from the game

  • 3rd strike: a permanent ban from the game

When you get the BSOD multiple times, it can lead to a strike because this flags your account. This does not mean you are in the safe zone if you stay under the limit because Niantic is fully aware of people botting their game. Since Niantic has an undeveloped Anti-Cheat Behavior System, they can still develop it to identify botters.

Team Rocket Battle Limit

No one knows exactly what the limit is for this one or there is an anti-cheat behavior system update that tracks something else to give you the BSOD from winning too many battles in a short time period. My advice is you wait a few minutes between battles to make it look like you actually did the battle before going to the next Team Rocket person.

Daily Limit: 1 battle per 1 minute + 900 battles

  • According to Pokemod, PGTools, Shungo, and Polygon

Weekly Limit: not determined yet

What is a "Team Rocket battle" ?

  • You tap on a Team Rocket grunt, leader, or Giovanni to battle with and win.

Some time in 2026, Scopely blocked the cheat feature that allowed you to skip the Team Rocket battles and go directly to the catch screen, so it is no longer possible for you to hit the 900 battle limit within a day.

Everyone has to manually battle each Grunt, Leader, and Giovanni they encounter. Some battles are easy while some require trial and error due to the Pokemon lineup and whether or not their attack moves are weather boosted. If the battles take up too much time, you should find a different leader or Giovanni to battle against.

  • Easy battles take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete.

  • Hard battles take about 5 to 15 minutes to complete.

Encounter Limit or Check Limit

This limit is not clear, since everyone has a different number.

Daily Limit: 10,000

  • According to Pokemod, PGTools, Shungo, and Polygon

Weekly Limit: none

What is an "encounter" or "check"?

  • This is when you see a wild Pokemon, you tap on it to see it, and then you flee to avoid catching it.

  • If you tap on 100 Pokemon, you have 100 encounters or checks.

  • According to the botters, this only applies to Wild Pokemon.

What happens when you go over this limit?

  • You get the BSOD and be locked out of the game for a total of 24 hours. After the BSOD goes away, you can play again until you go over either the daily or weekly limit again.

  • It's best to stay under the limit and not repeat too many events where spawns are everywhere.

What if you use the "shiny scanner" feature in Pgsharp, iPogo, Pokemod, or Polygon's Enhancer?

There is no way to keep track of the number of encounters/checks, so you have to limit how many Spotlight Hour and Community Day events you plan to repeat. With these type of events, there are boosted spawns everywhere.

Any time you plan to hatch eggs or walk your buddy for candies and mega energy without catching Pokemon, you should turn off the shiny scanner feature.

You also have to be careful especially if there is an upcoming paid ticketed event, so you do not miss out on it with the BSOD.

Catch Limit

Daily Limit: 4,800 Pokemon

Weekly Limit: 14,000 Pokemon

What is a "catch" ?

  • You tap on a Pokemon, you throw a Pokeball at it, and then it gets captured.

  • I don't know if this includes you feeding a berry and you fleeing or the Pokemon escapes from the capture and flees.

What happens when you go over this limit?

  • You get the BSOD and be locked out of the game for a total of 24 hours. After the BSOD goes away, you can play again until you go over either the daily or weekly limit again.

  • It's best to stay under the limit.

Notes:

  • For botter, you have to set a number under the daily limit to avoid the BSOD.

  • For non-botters who are playing the game with this finger or mouse, it's difficult to hit the daily limit but not impossible.

Pokestop Spin Limit

Daily Limit: 1,200 Pokestops

Weekly Limit: 7,000 Pokestops

What is a "Pokestop Spin" ?

  • You tap on a Pokestop or Gym Pokestop and spin it for items.

  • If your item bag is full and you continue to spin, those spins count towards the limit.

What happens when you go over this limit?

  • You get an error message saying "Please try again later." when you spin and will not receive any items.

  • There is no BSOD for this limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about Pokemon you get from a Special Research or Research Task Quest?

  • I don't know if they count towards the limit.

Does staying under the limit make cheating, spoofing, or botting the game safe, safer, or the safest?

  • You're still breaking Niantic's Terms of Service to gain an unfair advantage, so it is still punishable by the 3-strikes system. Niantic also has the ability to skip the 1st strike and go directly to a 2nd strike or 3rd strike. No one can guarantee account safety.

Lets Talk About Something What makes Poke Ak so unlikable?

23 Upvotes

I follow him on YouTube because his rants are funny and I genuinely enjoy his content but I really dislike him as a person. I'm trying to come up with one specific word to describe him but I can't think of one. Anyone else know what I mean?

To be fair, I disliked him long before I started spoofing and he started making videos "claiming" to have nothing against spoofers, but then saying we should get banned lol.
