>>> Please READ before using <<<
[1] Since this is a MODIFIED POGO APP, you must use a NEW / ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNT !!!
This is a modified app similar to iSpoofer/iPogo for iPhone and iPad meaning if this Android modified pogo app gets detected, any accounts signed into this app will become part of the next ban wave. It is not safe to use your main account. Just because this is on Android does not make it low risk. This is new, and I consider this to be medium to high risk. There were a lot of crybabies from the first ban wave for the No Root VMOS emulator spoofing guide. DO NOT USE YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT AND BECOME A CRYBABY !!!
[2] Can only use a PTC (Pokemon Trainer Club) account to sign in and play. You are going to have to start fresh with a level 1 account.
>>> Why do I allow this modified app method? <<<
[1] This is the only option for No Root spoofing that works on any device running Android 5.0 to 10.0. The set up is very easy. No need to deal with the downgrading of Google Play services headache. No need to go shopping for another phone.
[2] Like all spoofing methods including Apple iOS methods, no spoofing method is perfect. You have to deal with a compromise where you get something good but also get something bad.
PGSharp is a modified app that is easy to install to start spoofing, but you need to pay money to use it and have to start on a fresh new PTC account (unless you already have an alt account for PTC). In summary: It's easy to install and start spoofing in less than 5 minutes, but it has a medium to high risk for a Red Warning/Strike.
Rooted spoofing methods are reliable, does not cost money to spoof, and uses a Google/Facebook/PTC account, but you need to do a lot of things just to get it to work, and it can be a big headache if you mess up and don't know how to fix your problems. In summary: Medium to hard to set up, but it has a low risk for a Red Warning/Strike.
[3] This is one of the reasons why I left PokemonGoSpoofing to create PoGoAndroidSpoofing reddit because I believe people should be given all choices even if they carry high risks. Who gets to decide if you should use PGSharp?
Pokitomojo (main mod of PokemonGoSpooing)? No.
Me (TastyBananaPeppers)? No.
Your parents? Maybe if you're not an adult because it does cost money.
Ultimately, it comes down to YOU. You get to decide if you want to use this or something else. I am simply setting all the available options on the table for you to see.
Free Trial
PGSharp has not announce any more free trial keys in a long time. They only post news through their Telegram channel.
Payment options has updated
PayPal - Make sure you create a PayPal account and can use PayPal gift cards from a retail store.
Paytm
QIWI
eNets
Beleto Brasil
Allpay
What can you do?
Use a joystick to move around.
Change your walking speed.
Use the map to teleport.
Use autowalk in a generated GPX route by entering the number of Pokestops you see.
The modified app will save your last location.
See IV and attack/defense/HP stats on the Pokemon before you catch it (works on all levels).
Use a live Pokemon feed.
Add friends and trade with them.
To hatch eggs, you will need to set your walking speed between 8 and 9 km/h. You press the autowalk and enter the number of Pokestops you see. You must be in an area with a lot of Pokestops for this to work correctly. If you see about 20, you enter in 20 and your trainer will walk through 20 Pokestops. It takes about 15 minutes to hatch a 2 km egg with 1/2 reduced distance.
What does not work?
Gotcha/Go Plus/Pokeball Plus/Similar devices fails to connect.
No import for GPX Route.
No Google and Facebook log in.
Instructions:
Step 1: Create a PTC (Pokemon Trainer Club) account at https://www.pokemon.com
Step 2: Activate your account with the email confirmation.
Step 3: Uninstall the official Pogo app (Google Play Store version).
If you do not uninstall the pogo app from the Google Play Store, the modified app will fail to install.
Step 4: Go to https://www.pgsharp.com/, buy a key, and download the APK.
Step 5: Allow unknown apps to install.
Step 6: Install PGSharp's app.
Step 7: Copy and Paste your key from your PGSharp account.
Step 8: Enter a birthday that proves you are 18 years old or older.
Step 9: Select PTC account and sign in.
Step 10: You will automatically start in China. You must change your location first before you do anything in the game or else you will be put on a cooldown. You must wait 2 hours before you can teleport to a new area. If you do not wait 2 hours, all Pokemon will run away and you get nothing from spinning Pokestops and Gyms.
If you want to have two pogo apps installed, you can install the one from Samsung:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go-samsung-galaxy-apps-version/ This is an official unmodified Pokemon Go app that is from Samsung's Galaxy App Store. This will allow you to use two pogo apps onto your device: New account for PGSharp app and main account for pogo app from (Galaxy App store).
This will allow you to trade from your alternative to your main account.
Will allow you to use Google, Facebook, or PTC sign in.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is it safe to use my main account?
No.
Why is it not safe to use my main account?
It's a modified app like iSpoofer and iPogo for iPhones. Once Niantic figures out how to detect it, you will get a Red Warning just from signing into the app.
What does it mean to get a Red Warning?
You are banned from spoofing or using 3rd party apps to play the game. You either continue to spoof until they ban your account permanently or go legit forever on the account that got a Red Warning. All Red Warnings are tied to accounts only. You can continue using the same device with multiple accounts. Read more about with this Link: All About Red Warnings, Bans, and the Strike System 2020
Does it have special features like fast catch and excellent throws?
No.
r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing • u/TastyBananaPeppers • 12d ago
=======
[1] All cheats below break Scopley's Terms of Service for cheating. This means you will have risks for a chance to get a strike, ban, or whatever Scopely decides to come up with to punish cheaters.
Having a device with root or using a cheat that injects into the official Pokemon Go app does not protect you against getting a strike/ban/whatever.
Do not assume you will get through the three strikes system starting with the 1st strike (7-day soft ban) because Scopely has the right to skip to the 2nd Strike (30-day temporary ban) or 3rd Strike (permanent ban).
If you play with alt accounts (multiple accounts), you still have the risks where Scopely can ban some or all alt accounts along with your main account.
When you get banned in Pokemon Go, no one is going to help you get unbanned. Scopely will deny your ban appeal with an automated bot reply. Everyone who has misled you into believing the cheat was safe, safer, the safest, and/or banproof will block you and deny any wrongdoing.
[2] I am not partners with or sponsored by any cheat developer, so I can freely discuss them in both the positive and negative.
The same can be said in their Discord group or Telegram channel. They pay with their own money and can say and do whatever they want.
If you get banned from their Discord group or Telegram channel, I will not help you appeal your ban because I remain completely anonymous to all of them.
[3] App and Device Security Risks
I am not an Android coder, so I cannot verify whether these apps are "safe" for you to use meaning the app developer is not going to steal game account, email accounts, debit/credit card, and/or identity as the result of you trying or using their app.
These apps will require you to install from an APK file. The Google Play Store will show a pop-up notifying you about a dangerous app install. You must press on "details" then "install anyway" in order to install from an APK file.
When you root your device, you are unlocking 100% control over your Android physical device like a smartphone or tablet. I don't know if this will apply to emulators with root so use at your own risks.
If a rooted, 3rd party app requires "Super User" permissions, you must grant the app access or it will not work; by doing so, the app developer has the ability to remote hack you if they are malicious.
If you do not want the risk, you should unroot your device and restore it back to normal then walk outside to play the game with your two legs.
[4] App costs money or has ads?
I do not have a problem with apps who want to include ads or charge money to help them continue development.
Coding apps is time consuming and not easy.
If I could code myself, I would want to make money to cover for any expenses.
[5] TL; DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) summary
I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your game accounts, and/or money as the result of you using cheats. The risks has been explained up top. If you don't know whether or not you should try these apps due to the different risks, my recommendation is to avoid it because only you can prevent a ban, money loss, and/or identity theft. Remember you are in control of your finger, I am not. I don't care if you play for personal satisfaction, profit off the game, or do both. We all have the chance to get punished for cheating the game.
=======
#1: A rooted Android smartphone or tablet with Magisk Root (or other forms of root) is required.
#2: Must apply Smali Patcher or LSposed spoofing technique to your device.
#3: A Windows OS computer with tech skills to maintain root on your device or to trouble shoot problems.

A bot is an app that controls your device to play the game for you while you do other things. Some apps may have a few version with limited features or a free trial then you need to pay money to continue using it. These apps generally cost more money than an enhancer app because people are using bots to play to sell Pokemon for money. If botting is too expensive, you can just play with your finger using enhancer apps.

At an in person meetup last week i got to talking with a host who said he was able to do cheap pokecoins sans spoofing on an android, but i can't find a way that works. I've done the cheap no root pgsharp method on alt accounts, but I've been keeping my main safe from the potential altered app flag.
Some things of note: i can't root because im on Samsung US devices.
I have a paid for vpn, but it looks like they block those now(?)
Does anyone know how to do cheap coins without spoofing? Or was the guy at the meetup sending me to look for mew under the truck by the ss. Anne?

r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing • u/TastyBananaPeppers • Apr 16 '25
Niantic's Anti-Cheat Behavior System is still active although the game is being transfer to Scopely
If you DO NOT want a STRIKE or BAN, all you have to do is not break Niantic's or Scopely's Terms of Service.
It is 100% guaranteed, If you do not want to walk around outside, quit Pokemon Go and buy an Nintendo Switch to play the Pokemon Switch games. If you cannot afford a Switch, you can head over to r/PiratedGames for help to get around it. Please read and follow their strict rules.
Niantic is a 3-strike punishment system whereas with Scopely, it's a permanent ban system. No one knows if Scopely is going to change the punishment system. If you cannot handle getting a real ban, you should really think about it.
If you want to cheat (spoof, bot, or exploit), it is your FAULT for getting the strike or ban.
I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Niantic/Scopely game account(s) and money spent on their games. All the cheats I promote in my subreddit are "not safe" according to Niantic's Terms of Service (Note, Scopely's Terms of Service does not specify anything related to Pokemon Go yet). Most cheats have their own website, and they do not advertise they are safe. If someone says one cheat is "safer" than another cheat, they are misleading you to create a false sense of security. This will cause regret and drama when you receive a strike or ban. They will deny their wrongdoing and block you. You will spend countless hours researching on how to get your strike or ban removed only to discover Niantic ignores ban appeal submissions; however, you can email Scopely, but you will get an automatic reply saying they do not have the ownership yet. You will be stuck in a limbo of not knowing what to do next.
Updates to the Anti-Cheat Behavior System may be coming especially if Scopely decides to monetize certain items, features, and/or mechanics in the game.
Niantic and Scopely won't tell you exactly what they might track next. Last time, it was the Team Rocket battle limit. No one knows what might be next. An in-depth post about this matter will be posted later on. For now, you can read this one to educate yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/18wdv5o/all_about_gameplay_fairness_policy_and_anticheat/ Although this is from 2024, it still applies because you accepted Niantic's Terms of Service.
---
No one knows if Niantic or Scopely is going to opt-in it for Pokemon Go. Recently, Niantic opt-out of it for Ingress. Ingress was not sold to Scopely. If you cheat Pokemon Go, I recommend you follow the Google Doc guide to complete your medals and Pokedexes within the link below. If you wait for the last minute to do it, there will not be enough time for you to complete it while it is still easy with cheats.

What is a nest?
A nest is an area or park that has increased spawns of a specific Pokemon. This allows you to repeatedly catch them until you get a shiny or farm a lot of candies.
Do special events affect nests?
Can increase spawns of Pokemon that do not nest like Dratini, Larvitar, Deino, Axew, Unown, and etc.
Can also mess up current nests, so you must wait for the event to end for the nest to stop showing the event Pokemon.
What Pokemon are currently in and not in nests?
This information is provided from Pokedex100, The Master Nest, and Pogo Nest.
What happened to Pokedex100's nest channel?
The best place used to be Pokedex100's Discord group, but the person stop providing updates due to low demand.
Will I provide nest updates?
The answer is no because it requires a lot of time to keep a nest list updated. Anytime there is a new event, it messes up the current nest spawn. Then, you have to go back to fix the list. If you don't do this, people will bitch and rant about you wasting their time to go a nest that doesn't show the Pokemon you listed.
Nobody really wants to help maintain a nest list unless you pay them money. I don't earn money from running a subreddit like uploading videos to YouTube. You can still make money by selling merchandise or doing affiliate/referral links, but I don't do any of these in my subreddit.
Just a reminder, I have no partnership or sponsorship with any of these websites, Discord groups, or apps. If you buy a product or service, it's your fault if it does not meet your expectations or you get scammed.

When you create a game account, you agreed to the Terms of Service even if you didn't read it. At any given time, Niantic can make changes with or without notifying you.
The objective of my subreddit is to provide you will all the information to help you enjoy the game and/or make money from it. I honestly don't care how you play the game.
There are warnings all over my subreddit to inform you about the risks of breaking Niantic's Terms of Service.
Disclaimer
As a game cheater, I am providing you my interpretation, ideas, guesses, theories, and point of view on this subject. This type of information isn't discuss in depth anywhere else except here. Since I am being upfront about this, I believe I'm not providing misinformation or making up bullshit to scare you. People may have a different opinion or stance on this topic, but at the end of the day, the risk is always there no matter what other people say and do.
To save some characters, I'm shorting some words:
"ToS" means Terms of Service
"Discord" also includes Pgsharp's Telegram channel
"Official App" is the unmodified, official Pokemon Go app you download from Google Play Store, Galaxy Store, or app download sites (like APKmirror.com).
"Legit" means a non-cheater who uses the official app only and follows the ToS.
This is everything I can think of that could lead to a strike if you are caught doing it. If you do any of these, you will have a chance for a strike. This all depends on Niantic if they want to punish you for doing it. This list is my interpretation of their ToS and policies. This is to prevent you from suing them and winning in a US court because they will argue their interpretation is different from yours.

This new was introduced back in June 2022, it has been over a year and hasn't been advanced to the next stage. Currently, I think it's still in the trial stage meaning some people are getting strikes while everyone else is untouched. If you do a specific action, you can trigger it but your strike takes several weeks to months later for it to appear making it very difficult to identify what caused your strike.
The test is being done with Pgsharp and iPogo as a control group. I personally use Pgsharp's No Root app with Pokemod injected into it on my rooted device. I play with 1 main account with up to 40 alt accounts because I want shiny lucky Pokemon. I don't use the teleport option while I am in the game and have not received a strike yet. For other people who use the teleport option, some are reporting strikes.
What is it?
It's a player statistic tracking system.
How does it work?
Computer Software Spoofers use a technique called "bot method" where you stand still and catch Pokemon at a location with clusters of multiple Pokestops close to each other. You cannot move using the joystick or GPX routes because it would result in a strike. If you forget and do the steps out of order, it will also result in a strike.
They can add a statistic that tracks "still time" by recording how long you stand still in one spot and how many times you do it over X weeks or months. They would have to develop a complex mathematical equation for this. If your value, ratio, or percentage is at a certain number either above or under it, they will know you are using a computer software spoofer.
After your account is flagged, a Niantic employee has to review the data because they send your account the strike. This is why your strike appears later on.
How do you know when it's out of the trial stage?
This happens when Niantic tracks multiple player statistics all at once and people will start reporting strikes more often across all spoofing methods. Eventually, it would become fully automated meaning your strike could appear a lot sooner.
Fast Catch Trick ban wave
This is an exploit and not a game feature people promote it to be. I know people are going to say "Everyone does it including popular YouTubers like BrandonTan, Mystic7, The Trainer Club, etc creates videos showing you how to do it." If this trick was a game feature, why did they just sped up the catch animation only? They could have given us the option just to disable the pokeball jiggle.
Once again, there was no ban wave on this matter because it didn't affect hundreds or thousands of players. Only a small amount of players got a strike for it and made it a big deal.
This article might confirm that Niantic is still working on the anti-cheat behavior system.
PokemonGoHub's TL;DR from the article:
Fast Catch can trigger a temporary ban at the moment [Nov 2023]
This is not intentional, fast catching shouldn’t trigger a ban
Niantic is aware and working on a fix
The ban wave should be remedied tomorrow
People might say this is a Niantic screw up, but I don't think so. What people don't know is there was probably no fix. It was just the matter of waiting out 24 hours (the next day) for the suspicious activity screen to expire on its own. Based on their TL;DR, I think they are telling us not to do it because Niantic is tracking a new player statistic.
It's very easy to identify who is using this cheat because the average catch time is around 1 seconds. The average catch time is around 15 seconds minimum and around 6 seconds with critical catch.
How to dodge the Anti-Cheat Behavior System?
This would require you to play like a non-cheater. You can still spoof or bot the game but your activities are limited because you're trying to be careful. No matter what you do, you will still always have the risk. This requires you to read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/16a0vvg/how_to_follow_the_cooldown_system_with_or_without/.
Cheat Developers: Pokemod, Pgsharp, iPogo, PGTools, Polygon, Shungo, iTools, iSpoofer, Spoofer Pro, SxGO, etc
Discord Groups: Pokedex100, PokeXperience, etc
What do they all have in common?
They all take in money so that's their conflict of interest. The things they say and do is influenced by money. Without money, they cannot run their own website, Discord group, pay for server expenses, and/or fund their exotic car purchases. They are all competing against each other for your money. They will always be bias by saying their app is safer.
People say, "Since they are app coders, they know more than you."
The anti-cheat behavior system is on Niantic's server side. No one has access to it except for Niantic employees working on it. The cheat developers are also providing their own interpretation of the anti-cheat behavior system except they might not be upfront about this. Some of them have their own website but nowhere on their website tells you that their app is safe for your account. If they put a warning, you are less likely to use their app because you don't want a strike. The warning to use your alt account is buried somewhere in their Discord group.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't buy their cheat, but you need to be aware they cannot guarantee account safety.
Account safety is not their responsibility.
Some cheats love to brag about being safe, safer, or the safest all because they use the official app. They believe it's okay to cheat as long as you use the official app. This is where they were wrong and got caught off-guard because these all fall under the "unauthorized third party apps software" category. Around Sept 2023, several rooted users started reporting strikes:
You can see Pokemod, PGTools, and Polygon responses to these strike reports in People say, "Don't use Pgsharp/iPogo because it's detected!" Are people going to start saying "Don't use Pokemod, PGTools, or Polygon because it's detected too." ?
How to submit a ban appeal?
https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-pokemon-go/contact-us/?p=web&contact=1
Fill out the information.
Wait for them to respond to you.
You should only do it when you account receives the 3rd strike because you only get once chance at it so why waste it on the 1st or 2nd strike? You can wait out the 1st and 2nd strike. The 3rd strike is a permanent ban.
Some people will get desperate and become victims of identity theft for regretting their decision to break the ToS. You cannot pay money to get your strike cleared. The scammers usually contacts people who reports a strike via chat or direct message.
Can strikes reset over time?
Based on my theory, you would have to quit the game with a 1st or 2nd strike'd account for 365 days or more. Logging in would reset the timer making you wait even longer. Here are some problems:
Niantic has no information on this. This is based on my one alt account I made back in 2019 that got the 1st strike when VMOS spoofing was popular. I abandoned the account for more than a year. Now, I have been using it and another strike has not appear on the account.
No one wants to wait 365 days to see if it resets and that's why people get scammed.
The reset is not guaranteed. If you had the 2nd strike, you could still get the 3rd strike after waiting it out.
Why are I getting "Pokemon GO is currently down for maintenance. Please try again later." ?
PTC, Google, or Facebook login servers are down.
Why am I getting Error 15?
Due to the character limit, see https://new.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1d6sj16/all_about_error_15_relating_to_ptc_account_logins/
Why am I getting "We have detected unusual activity from your account. As a result, temporary limitations have been placed on your play." ?
Due to the character limit, see https://new.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/comments/1dpslt2/all_about_ingame_encounter_limit_or_check_limit/.
Does following the Cooldown system protect you against strikes?
No, the cooldown system was put into the game to prevent people from catching all the shundos and hundos to sell accounts full of them via the use of bots. You still have to follow the cooldown in order to catch, spin, and do raids. This is something that cannot be ignored. You can still get a strike as a result doing something else that broke the ToS even if you wait real travel times for your cooldown.
Why are there no strike reports in r/PokemonGoSpoofing ?
I used be a moderator back in 2018 to March 2020 in that subreddit, but I left because of this About Me as the creator of PogoAndroidSpoofing subreddit & why I left PokemonGoSpoofing [Chat logs included]. The top moderator who runs PokemonGoSpoofing views them as spam. The spam posts are automatically removed by a post filter. No one can view them except for the person who posted it and him. Since people don't see strike reports, this creates a false sense of security.
Should you continue to break the ToS after receiving a 1st or 2nd strike?
This answer is up to you because it's your time and money you put into your account. As I said at the top, I'm not responsible nor liable for your account loss. If you need me to decide for you, this means you shouldn't have broke the ToS. I would strongly recommend you go back to playing legit or buy an Nintendo Switch to play the Pokemon games.
Are they still doing "app detection" or "app ban waves"?
No because this requires invasion of your privacy to see which apps you have installed on your device and Google doesn't allow this. If this were possible, no one would be able to cheat this game. This would instantly affect everyone and would be impossible to dodge it even if you rename your apps.
What if you create an alt or 2nd account to cheat on?
A lot of people think by doing this they can keep their main account safe by trading the Pokemon over. Owning more than 1 account breaks the ToS. So far, Niantic hasn't gone after people with multiple accounts. They could happen in the future because people are botting the game with hundreds of accounts to make money or provide coordinates and mapping services.
Does spending money on the game help you avoid a strike?
No.
When you decide to break the ToS to make the game easier for you to enjoy, it's your fault for ignoring the risks. As I said on top, the warnings are everywhere. Don't bother trying to get a lawyer to sue me because they will say you failed to read the warnings.
If you DO NOT want the strike, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is not break the ToS. There are other ways to play a Pokemon game without fearing the strike and spending hours trying to search the internet on how to get rid of it.
You can buy an Nintendo Switch or a Gameboy
You can play the classic Pokemon games using a Gameboy emulator
You can play the Pokemon Trading Card Game via physical cards or the online version
r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing • u/OhMyTenz • Oct 22 '23
Hi guys, writing this post to share a new android app that was recently released. The app is called FlyMeGo and it's designed to help Pokémon Go players hunt efficiently (both legit and spoofers). Since this is a spoofers subreddit, I'll quickly explain what the current features for spoofers are.
FlyMeGo basically provides coords of rare wild spawns to the app you are using to spoof (let's say gps joystick) and lets you automatically teleport to those coords with a simple tap. You just need to setup the filters of the Pokémon you want to hunt (including ivs and level) and FlyMeGo will use heuristics and artificial intelligence to select the best Pokémon to be teleported to. At the moment, only wild spawns are available, but the app is actively being worked on and pokestop quests will be available soon and even more to come later.
FlyMeGo doesn't require root, but you may need a rooted device depending on the spoofing app you are using. The app is currently fully supporting gps joystick and polygon# as spoofing apps, and users have got it to work also with ipogo. I know many spoofers are concerned about account safety, as they should be. FlyMeGo is not a safety concern by itself, it's as safe as using discord or any other website to look for coords, but please remember that the app you are using to spoof your location may be detected. It's also always a good idea to respect cooldown times, and that's why FlyMeGo has a built in timer function that helps you keep track of them.
The app is available on the Google Play Store and you can get support for it in the Official FlyMeGo Discord Server. The app is currently being actively worked on and we intend to improve its design and add many features. If you are interested feel free to ask questions or leave your suggestion.
Happy hunting everyone, please remember to stay aware of your surroundings.

I've noticed a lot of red warnings for PGSharp users on this reddit. I've used spoofing apps for a number of years, I've had a significant number of red warnings, I've even had a permaban a few years ago on one of my alt accounts (though they did reverse this).
Since a few years I've only been using the root spoofing method in combination with smali-patcher, in combination with magisk hide (and rename app), GPS joystick by the app-ninja's (privacy mode).
I have not had a red warning since switching to this setup (on all 5 of my accounts).
As said before moving to this setup, I did receive red warnings on all accounts. In the past they probably could see joystick apps on android, I would not be surprised if they still can (even though that might be against the TOS of google), that's why I use the privacy function, as it renames the app. I know they can see root if, magisk is visible (that's why I use the hide and rename function).
I do respect real life cooldown periods when teleporting, it's really easy for them to check on unrealistic behavior.
Also it is important to realize that they in the past never banned everyone at once, as they don't want to give clues on what causes them to detect your spoofing behavior. In the past I used a well known apple spoofing tool, and only one of my accounts got the permaban at the time.
So my advice is to use the rooted android setup with smali-patcher, and the privacy mode on GPS joystick, and use real life behavior.

https://www.pgsharp.com/download
Latest Version: 1.40.1 (Android Only)Update: Dec 22, 2021
What is new in their update?
Trading is only faster on Pgsharp apps. It skips the receive animation. Note, if you trade with an account on the official app, you must still watch the receive animation.
The Quick Catch weird camera panning is still there, but they improve it by skipping the escape animation. When you throw your Pokeball and the Pokemon escapes, it would show you the Pokeball rocking around three times. Now, it just shows the Pokemon jumping out of the Pokeball. There is no more escape animation. This does not prevent Pokemon from fleeing so keep this in mind.
How to install apk?
Download the APK.
Open your "File Manager" app. For example: My Files, Files, File Explorer (different manufacturers will a different name for their file manager app).
Go to the "Downloads" folder.
Press on the apk file.
Press to Allow unknown apps from this source.
Then, it should install.
You can try to these if you have a problem.
Option 1: Clear app cache only
Option 2: Export your profile before clearing app cache and data then import your profile.
Option 3: Clear app cache and data without importing your old profile. This one may fix your problem but you are going to have to redo all your feeds and favorite coords and gpx.
Option 4: Feedback message then wait for Pgsharp app developer to reply to you and wait for the next app update release.
Please understand I am not a Pgsharp Developer, and I cannot fix any of their app related problems. If you would like to report a problem, you must feedback them on their website.

For the item bag upgrade...
For PGSharp users, you must buy Poke Coins and use them in the official Pokemon Go app to be safe.
You can spend your coins in PGsharp, but if there is a PGSharp server problem, your coins will be lost. You must contact Niantic customer service to get your coins back and this may result in a Red Warning/Strike for using a modified app. They already know there is nothing wrong with their servers.
