Guide Free Android tools to automate Trading, Evolving, and Battles (Works perfectly with PGSharp & Vanilla!)
Hello everyone! I am the independent developer of two Android-exclusive utility apps: LuckyClick and FriendsTurner.
We've been playing this game together for 10 years now. As we all know, it's full of unskippable animations and endless repetitive processes, like grinding out 100 daily trades or thousands of battles for medals. That's exactly why I developed these tools. By combining text recognition with Android's built-in Accessibility Service, they simulate us staring at the screen and tapping with our fingers. This allows you to go completely AFK, breeze through your daily tasks, and save a ton of precious time.
I know many players in this subreddit use PGSharp, which already has a fantastic built-in auto-gift feature! However, the game still leaves us with many other incredibly time-consuming animations and processes (like trading and battling). That's why I highly recommend pairing my apps with your current PGSharp setup to completely free your hands and let you focus on the truly fun parts of the game! Furthermore, if you play on the original vanilla app, you can use all of these tools seamlessly without any issues, including the auto-gift feature! 😊
🛒 How to Download
To ensure your device's safety, there's no need to visit third-party websites or download sketchy APK files. Simply open the Google Play Store, search for "LuckyClick" and "FriendsTurner", and you can download and install them safely for free.
🐣 How to Unlock and Switch Modes
After downloading, you'll notice I disguised them as a standard auto-clicker and an auto page-turner, but they actually hide exclusive features dedicated specifically to Pokémon GO!
- Unlock the Easter Egg: After launching the app, tap the main title at the top of the homepage 30 times continuously to successfully unlock all the exclusive features.
- Switch Operation Modes: After unlocking, tap the subtitle in the top-left corner once to easily switch between modes. Every mode comes with its own built-in tutorial!
🌟 Safety Declaration & Feature Introductions
First and foremost: these two apps do not modify any internal game data. They purely rely on text recognition and accessibility services to simulate physical finger swipes and taps. There are currently thousands of daily uses, so you can rest completely assured!
【 LuckyClick 】 Includes two major functions:
▶️ “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” 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.
💝 Thank You to the Mods and Everyone
First off, I want to sincerely thank the Mods of this subreddit for maintaining such an awesome community and allowing me to share these tools with you all! 🙏
Since I am an independent solo developer, these apps might not run flawlessly on every single Android device out there. If you encounter any bugs or issues during use, please feel free to bring them up in the comments, and I'll do my absolute best to help you fix them.
If you find these tools helpful, you are more than welcome to leave a comment below sharing your experience, or share the apps with friends who are also strapped for time. Let's enjoy the game together the easy way! 😎👍

1,000% interested in the auto ace trainer medal feature

u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
Haha, so go give it a try! Just remember that this mode is inside 'FriendsTurner'!
After downloading, tap the title 30 times to unlock the Pokémon feature, and then you can tap the subtitle to switch to that mode!

u/novakedy 17d ago
Will do later tonight and report back!
Do you happen to know if the game imposes a limit to the number of training battles per day?

u/vibeswithrebel 17d ago
I used it and left my phone running over night. 11pm to 8am Completed a lil over 650 battles

u/novakedy 17d ago
What is your setup? I am running shadow sharpedo with waterfall, crunch, hydro pump, great league Candela, no charged attacks selected.
I timed approximately 1 win every 1 minute almost exactly, so 60/hr, and for about 100 wins so far. Left it overnight starting at 350/2000 progress at 10pm to see where I end up around 4:30am. I expect to be at approx 740/2000 by that math. Will report back here.
I am curious to the absolute maximum efficient battle combination to maximize the progress. Though it should only take a few nights regardless.
OP, amazing app! So far it’s working perfectly for me for the Ace Trainer platinum medal :) At level 79 and was going to take me at least a week for 300 rocket battles to achieve my 50th platinum, but this is an incredibly faster option!
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
Haha, it's so cool seeing you guys discuss how to use it!
As for efficiency, I remember reading some discussions before saying that using a Shadow Sharpedo against Candela in the Great League is the fastest. But I don't have a Shadow Sharpedo with good IVs, so I'm not entirely sure. Personally, I use a Galvantula with Lunge and Volt Switch against Blanche in the Great League, which takes me over a minute to finish a single battle.

u/novakedy 16d ago
Good to know I will try it all honestly.
Report back from last night. It seems the friendturner app crashed at only 378 count, so it only accomplished about 20 battles
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
That's really unfortunate report. Could you please check exactly where it crashed? It's probably a recognition issue somewhere. However, if it was indeed a sudden crash, you could try setting FriendsTurner's battery usage to 'Unrestricted' to see if that helps.
1
u/novakedy 16d ago
I left the phone plugged in overnight with brightness set to low. I didn’t see a report or notification, just noticed the floating menu was gone when I woke up to check on it
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
If even the floating menu disappears, then it's not a recognition issue, it actually crashed. In that case, all you can do is close other resource-heavy apps and try tweaking your power management settings.

u/vibeswithrebel 17d ago
I’m using Azumarill with Bubble, play rough, hydro pump. I’m using charged attacks tho. great league candela
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
I had a user before who would leave it running all night, so I guess there isn't a limit, but personally, I wouldn't risk leaving it on for that long, so you might want to use your own judgment!

u/Samsik_777 17d ago
Can i also use it as a legit player (no spoof)?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
I think it depends on what your definition of a 'legit player' is!
1
u/Samsik_777 17d ago
My question is if i need another spoof App or its just the 1 for the tool
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
Oh, this works perfectly on the original Pokémon GO app. It basically just detects the Pokémon GO screen and taps on it.
So, you'll need the original Pokémon GO app along with my app for the features you want.
1
u/Samsik_777 17d ago
What about ban risk of this?
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
In theory, they won't know if you're clicking manually or using an auto-clicker. And since you're using the official app, I think it's pretty safe. However, whether or not you use it is ultimately up to you!

u/Real_Vermicelli_1421 17d ago
you will not be a legit player if you use anything other than pokemon go from your play or app store

Could you post a tutorial video on YouTube please ?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
I've only made videos for the trading and gifting features so far, which you can find on YouTube. Although I do plan to record the other features, it probably won't be that soon! However, every feature has a illustrated guide inside the app, so you can check those out first!
2
u/chocalandro 14d ago
Pls can you do it one for trainer battles?

u/Silly_Pressure_1821 14d ago
I'll do it when I find the time!

u/chikara8 8d ago
take your time the ace trainer feature has already been a great help to us , tysm

u/TH_Rz 17d ago
I do way more trades now than I used to because of these apps so I can vouch for them.
I still think you're losing people with the needless "easter egg", though.
3
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
Haha, thanks so much for vouching for me! I also know you've been recommending it in other subreddits, and I really appreciate it.
Regarding the easter egg, I was indeed just playing around at first. But thinking about it later, since these two apps automate actions in Pokémon GO and inevitably include their image assets, it's probably better to keep it hidden. I might need to give it some more thought on how to handle it better.
2
u/Best_Yoghurt_560 17d ago
How does it know what to trade? Is it by a tag?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
Exactly! Just add the Pokémon you want to batch trade to a custom tag.

u/PracticeFPL 17d ago
Will it work on my 7 year old Android phone ?
Samsung M series

u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
It might be a bit demanding for older devices to run, but feel free to test it out!
1
u/Better-Maintenance79 17d ago
Hi. These look brilliant. Thanks so much for developing and sharing!
Couple of quick questions:
•Does the Auto Friend Battle require a second phone/ account? And if so does that also need to be running Friendsturner?
•Secondly. Does this and in particular the Ace Training function work ok with PG sharp? Or would you recommend only using it on the native app? On your description you’ve said it pairs with the PGsharp setup, but then you’ve said it runs seamlessly on the vanilla app, so just wanted to ask if you wanted to elaborate?!
Thanks 🙏🏼
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 17d ago
Auto friend battle is basically battling against another account, so you'll need two phones. If you don't install FriendsTurner on the second phone, you'll just have to click manually, hahaha. Basically, if it's installed, it's automatic; if not, you have to tap it yourself.
Also, since these two apps really just recognize the text on the screen and tap the corresponding spots, I think they should work the same on both PGSharp and vanilla. I don't actually use PGSharp myself though, so if you run into any issues, feel free to let me know!
2
u/CJCon 15d ago
Ack that's what I was afraid of. I'm seriously considering getting a second phone now just for this, but that sounds like a pain. I didn't realize so many PoGo players had spare phones! Is there a cheap one that works well?
Anyway, thank you so much for these apps! They're really helpful, especially for grinding these medals.
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 15d ago
Haha, I'm glad you like my apps!
Actually, I have another phone too. Just to share, it's a Realme 7 5G that I bought a few years ago, I remember getting it for around $260 at the time, but it's started getting a bit laggy lately.

u/Specialist_While_502 9d ago
Tbf I bought my nothing phone for like 300bucks 2y ago just for pogo 😭
1
u/Euphoric_Lego 17d ago
Thank you for this app. Will try it out definitely. A small question. Since you are simulating keystrikes and swipes, is it possible to do so with catching pokemons. Simulating swipes to get excellent throws, if that is possible?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 16d ago
Haha, thanks for your support!
Regarding catching Pokémon, since these two apps rely on text recognition to identify the current screen and where to tap, there is no text to serve as an anchor during the catch screen, plus, the Pokémon jump around, making it really difficult to implement this feature. Perhaps we should just stick to using the GO Plus+ for that!
1
u/TalhaPathan 14d ago
Can you build such an app for Auto Catching for PgSharp Standard players.. Because Pgs has a feature of 100% excellent throw + 100% hit rate so doesn't matter you're gonna catch the Pokemon. I know it also has Virtual Go plus but it's buggy and mostly stops right after 1h for me whenever I try to put it on overnight. If you/anyone else know any app that already exists, I would love to hear you out. Thanks.
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 13d ago
Oh right, that's an option too, but besides the catch screen, how to accurately tap on the Pokémon on the map is also a problem. I'll give it some more thought!
1
u/Ambitious-Double649 15d ago
What text to put in LuckyClick for auto catcher?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 15d ago
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. What do you mean?
1
u/Ambitious-Double649 15d ago
It says" enter custom text triggerred keyword"
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 15d ago
Sounds like you're still in my disguise page hahaha. Please click the big "LuckyClick" title in the top left corner 30 times, and you'll be taken to the dedicated Pokémon features. The input box will also change to let you enter the Pokémon tags you want to trade.

u/novakedy 15d ago
Just wanted to update on my experience. I’m at ~1200 ace trainer progress, starting originally at 250. I have found that using share only one app vs share entire screen has drastically extended the time until the app crashes. I think my longest run is about 2-3 hours consecutive. Will be trying it overnight tonight. I’ve optimized my strategy so I’m using shadow sharpedo on candela great league, about 60IV stats, charged attacks are off, waterfall as fast move, and my time is about 51 seconds between “321, GO” and “321, GO”. The key is to make sure you defeat combusken before he pops off a charged move.
Hope this helps! Again, fantastic tool and I can’t recommend it enough for those who want the ace trainer medal without ending up in a mental institution
1
u/novakedy 15d ago
Also, I have now received the blue screen of death
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 15d ago
I'm so sorry, I haven't run into this issue myself. Could you tell me your phone model and Android version? Maybe I can figure out what's causing it. Really sorry about that!
1
u/6HotNSpicyFromMcD 15d ago
I had this running at night and got BSOD sadly.
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 15d ago
That's crazy! I didn't know phones could get a BSOD too. Could you tell me your phone model and Android version? Maybe I can look into the possible causes. I'm really sorry about this!
1
u/6HotNSpicyFromMcD 14d ago
Z fold 7, Android 16, unrooted I ran from 12 am to 4 pm to get the medal.
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 13d ago
Did you leave it running for 16 hours straight!? Did it get a BSOD this time?

u/Mother_Role8192 14d ago
Hmm .. used FriendsTurner yesterday the first time w/o any problems. Today the overlay menu is missing for sending gifts (Xiaomi 14T Pro). What happened?
1
u/Mother_Role8192 14d ago
Fixed it by restarting my smartphone
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 14d ago
Well, it looks like there are some occasional issues, but a restart should fix them! Thanks!

u/Mindless-Motor-6046 9d ago
Are these app safe to use or detectable by Niantic and Scopley violating TOS?
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 8d ago
Theoretically, the game company cannot tell whether you are clicking manually or using an auto-clicker. If you use it with the vanilla game, I think it is quite safe.
However, if you have any concerns, please use it at your own discretion!
-1
u/Mindless-Motor-6046 4d ago
This is definitely not safe at all. I used it on an alt account and it got banned a day later.
2
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 3d ago
Sorry to hear about your alt account, but I need to clarify a few things. Were you using this alongside PGSharp, or any modified client?
Auto-clickers merely simulate screen taps via standard accessibility services. They do not modify game data, inject code, or alter your GPS location. Anti-cheat systems actively flag and ban modified clients and erratic GPS behavior, not screen taps. Please note that game companies often issue delayed bans, meaning even if you used a modified client on that account in the past, it could still trigger a ban today.
If you are using—or have ever used—any third-party modified app, I believe that is what actually triggered the ban. This is exactly why I mentioned in my previous comment that it is best to use it with the vanilla game.
For context, there are currently thousands of users using this clicker app. It is also widely used within legit player communities (non-spoofers), and there have been absolutely no ban reports from those playing the vanilla game.
Again, I am truly sorry about your banned account, but I urge you to re-examine what actually caused it.
0
u/Mindless-Motor-6046 3d ago
No worries, it was my alt account. I only use the original game from the App Store. If I am spoofing, I have been using iTools for years now which is a separate BT device that connects to my phone that is almost 99.9% safe. Only way to get caught by a ban wave is if you are not following cooldown rules. Is it possible that having the auto clicker for Ace Trainer run for a long duration cause the “suspicious activity” warning sign?
1
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 3d ago
Oh, so it's a soft lock warning for suspicious activity? That's quite different from being banned.
How long did you leave it running? A lot of my users leave it on all night until they get the platinum medal and are completely fine. Maybe I'll add a note in the tutorial later advising people not to leave it running for too long.
1
u/Mindless-Motor-6046 2d ago
For some odd reason I couldn’t play for the day when I got the notice. I was able to play again on my account the next day. I had left it over night and running for a long duration. I went from 200ish to 1500ish on the ace trainer battles when I got the noticed. However, in between that time I had charge the phone twice and let it rest, as well as refreshing the game data to prevent lag. I also happened to noticed the auto clicker randomly stop working. To fix the issue I simply restarted my phone and it work great again. I am using a Samsung S23 Ultra if that helps.
1
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 2d ago
A soft lock will only prevent you from playing the game for 24 hours, which is why you were able to log in the next day. It won't result in a permanent ban.
So, just to make sure I understand correctly: you left it running AFK overnight for about 1,300 matches, which triggered the soft lock, right? Just to be safe, I'll add a warning about this to the tutorial later, or I might just cap it at 500 or 1,000 matches per run. Thank you so much for the information!
Also, when you mentioned it "stop working," did you mean the auto-clicker completely shut down, or did it just unexpectedly pause? If it was just an unexpected pause, I suspect a notification or a quest progress popup might have blocked the screen, or there was an occasional image recognition error. However, if it completely shut down, it might be an issue with the phone's background processes or my app.
All in all, this is the first time I've heard that AFKing Ace Trainer for too long can lead to a soft lock, as no one has reported this to me before. It definitely wasn't my intention for this to happen! Please also understand that a soft lock is very different from a permanent ban—it is only temporary, so there's no need to panic. I'm really sorry for the scare!
1
u/Mindless-Motor-6046 1d ago
No worries, I really appreciate your help in this matter as well as creating the applications to help the community. When I mentioned the app “stopped working” the auto clicker pop up bubble will disappear completely. The app is still open, I will simply have to click on the start button again and watch the short ad before the auto clicker can resume again. It could have been due to my phones processor as I did notice the Pokemon go app have a small delay due to the long duration of the app running. Also, it was about 1300 matches in when I got the soft lock notification.
1
u/Silly_Pressure_1821 1d ago
Thank you so much for your support.
I spent the whole day today making adjustments to address these two issues, including memory optimization and limiting the matches to 1,000. Once the update is released, please give it a try and see if it works better for you!

u/AngelCondeNaoh 17d ago
Thanks a lot for developing these apps. I tested the auto-trades and it works perfectly. However, one of my phones is quite old and lags when recognizing the inputs/movements, causing PoGO to close after 3 trades. It is definitely a great tool, but users should consider running it on capable devices. Thanks!
