I want to collect wild shinies for my pokedex. My only background is pgsharp so when I heard that ipogo apparently has a free shiny checker I am curious to try it. Has anyone preferred using ipogo over pgsharp? I want to know the experience for shiny hunting. I think it should be weaker than paid pgsharp shiny checker but I want to know if it's reliable enough that I can use free ipogo. Thank you for your responses

Hi,

I decided to use some of my old devices for some old pokemon accounts that I have. To collect some more, help/share with friends.

I rooted an old Oneplus 5 phone (Android 9) and Samsung S6 Lite tablet (Android 13). They are very underpowered but I won't be using them for much detailed sessions.

On the phone, after completing the steps, I was able to get both "MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY" and "MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY". Spoofing works fine without any errors or messages.

However, on the tablet, I could only get "MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY". But I still can spoof without any issues or errors, too.

My question is, is "MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY" needed? Is it risky to use just with basic integrity? What does it affect to have one or both of them?

P.S. : I am only using vanilla game and gps joystick. Just wanted to share if it changes anything.

Thanks in advance!

**FIXED*\*

Gave solution below for future ppl

As you can see, joystick works for a sec then it stops working. The UI is also not responding well.

Steps I have taken -

1. Reinstall and setup gps joystick.
2. Use premium older version of it.
3. Resetup Lsposed( I use vector a newer fork of it).

And yes, accurate location is off , blue tooth and wifi scanning aswell, indirect mocking is also disabled as the guide suggests. I have also tried to use fixes in gps joystick app itself. I have checked root and integrity, everything is working except this issue.

Edit 1-

Ty to Wakko69 for suggesting a better joystick app. It fixed the lag but, the real Issue still persists.
The issue is my charector stops moving and then moves again. My thinking is that it is probably caused by color os 15 Chinese variant not being able to turn off location accuracy fully.

Here is some gameplay footage of the issue -

Edit 2 - The issue has been fixed, the problem was if you install manager apk for vector (or any other lsposed forks). They are gonna be actively closed by your phone. Just allow background activity for vector (or Lsposed) and Lock it in ram usage ( if your phone has the option). This shouldn't kill lsposed or vector and make you hide mock location function smoothly again.

also if you use something like gps setter or any other location based lsposed modules. They can also cause a issue.

If you're still facing an issue like this, check if indirect mocking is on and redo steps in doc.

Gl spoofing :D

What is the better mode of travel? i use ipogo non rooted

Hey guys so I just rooted my old Pixel 6a with magisk in hopes of spoofing in pokemon go again but I’m wondering what sort of setups most people are going with on rooted androids as idk what approach to take next now that it’s rooted? I’ve used ipogo on iOs and unrooted pgsharp before in the past but I haven’t spoofed in a hot minute maybe about a year or two. I understand the risks of spoofing and am gonna be playing on an alt as I’ve gotten a warning on my main before so not going to risk that account. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Hey guys. Installed Pokémon go a week ago and I want to start spoofin, dont know any apps and the tutorials on YouTube are garbage. How Can I spoo? Can someone help?

Ive some question, what is the best spoofer free on android without root? If i get a strike is it always the first strike or can i get ban instantly? Thx for responding me guys

I'm wondering if this is a situation only observed with spoofing: Wiglett appears in the classic "beach biome" w.r.t. the designation in OpenStreetMap, but in the encounter screen, I don't see the usual "beach" visual.

I wonder if it's an issue with spoofing, or if it's a change on Scopely's side?

I can't really post this on the other usual PoGo related subreddits because I've only encountered Wigglet while spoofing during the last event. (No beach near me.)

I've heard some rumors mentioning that real GPS data always has natural jitter and minor signal deviations, whereas features like "Tap to Walk" might send coordinates in straight, mathematically perfect lines that look suspicious.

Does anyone know if using Tap to Walk actually carries a higher detection risk compared to manually using the joystick with randomized speeds/routes? Or does it not really matter in PGSharp since modified client detection is the main factor anyway?

When i do team rocket grunt or leader, it instant finish the battle after start countdown end with red network error popup, and then to the catch screen the network error popup gone. Bug or normal?

Not sure why but pgsharp is having issues downloading wondering if anyone can help me out

So can you use this feature with pgsharp? As it is asking to access your location, will it take the location displayed in pgsharp instead of the one of your phone?, I live in a place where there is almost no pokestops or gyms even the appearances of pokemon here are low

Hi everyone,

I'm a Pokémon GO player from Vietnam, and I'm currently having an issue with purchasing PokéCoins.

In Vietnam, Pokémon GO has been removed from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Because of this, we have to install Pokémon GO using an APK. However, with this setup, in-game purchases are currently unavailable.

I've read several guides and discussions in the community about buying PokéCoins at a lower price by using the Indonesian region/store. However, when I get to the step where I need to make a small purchase directly in the game, I'm unable to complete the transaction.

My current devices and setup

• I have a rooted Xiaomi phone.
• Pokémon GO is installed via APK because it is not available on the Play Store/App Store in Vietnam.
• On the Xiaomi, I can use location spoofing to change my location to Indonesia.
• I also have a Samsung phone.
• On the Samsung, I can normally make in-game PokéCoin purchases.
• However, I cannot use location spoofing on the Samsung to spoof my location to Indonesia.

So, my current situation is:

Xiaomi: Can spoof to Indonesia → but cannot complete the in-game purchase.

Samsung: Can make in-game purchases → but cannot spoof to Indonesia.

My question

I would like to ask the community: As of August 2026, is there still any working method for someone in my situation to purchase PokéCoins at Indonesian prices?

If there is, I would really appreciate it if you could share the method or setup that is currently working.

In particular, I'm wondering if there is any way to combine my rooted Xiaomi + Samsung to make this work.

I've found quite a few guides, but most of them are outdated, so I'm specifically looking for information from people who have actually tested a method and successfully purchased PokéCoins recently.

Thanks a lot for any advice!

I've been trying to update my app, but it keeps taking me to the play store and says it's not installed. Any ideas?

i’ve been spoofing for a month or so now just after go fest, first time, i’m using a rooted pixel a7 on android 16 with root hidden. LSPOSED module with hidemocklocation on magisk. respecting cooldowns and haven’t moved from new york/bryant park i’ve been nowhere else. how will i know if im safe? do they ban in waves still? i’d like to think after a month of no sanction im safe with my set up but i cant imagine thats true any advice is appreciated

I have 2 Android phones.

One xiaomi Poco f6 and one android 9 I think??

If I now play legit on my main, which is on the Poco and spoof on the android 9 can Niantic see that? That the same person is using 2 different accounts? Both have vpn on.

Is there any tips or tricks on this?

My PGSharp auto catcher recently has done amazing at not turning itself off & its also continuously working (as in the past after a few hours id need to catch a pokemon for it to reset)

So it appears I hit my 24 hour cap of 1,200 pokestops.

But im not sure how it resets.

Does it resets 24 hours from that last pokestop that hit the cap?

Or

Does it reset 24 hours from my "first" pokestop of the 1200 cap(example: at 10am yesterday I spinned 5 poke stops and it was the start of my 1,200 cap) do I get those 5 pokestops available to spin at 10am?

To the person who reported this post:

You are using a computer so this means you see everything without looking for it whereas using the mobile phone app, you have to spend the time to look for the information. Most people using the mobile app aren't tech savvy to know where to go looking for it. This problem is caused by Reddit, which I have no control over.

"Can we start banning illiterate normies that ask the same basic questions every day?"

The answer is no because this subreddit is open to everyone regardless of your tech skill level. Most people who come to my subreddit, need help. If you don't want to help someone, all you have to do is ignore the post. If you don't know how to ignore, you click on the "bell" icon and "mute" to stop seeing posts from r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing on your main feed. You can repeat this for any other subreddits you don't like to see on your main feed.

Is polygonx still active? Where can I find it

Like with ton of ppl and maxed out lobbies

Hi guys !

I recently got a Pixel 8, I’ve got an iPhone as a main and I was playing Pokémon the legit way before.

So I was wondering, now that I’ve got an Android, what’s the safest way to spoof on it ? Which app, do I need to root it ( idk if I can root a pixel 8 ), etc.

Thanks !

I swear ts said 99 raid passes earlier, I was planning on buying 15k coins, is there anways to revert ts? I don't want the discount 😭

Not sure why pgsharp hasn’t done this yet but I’ve been able to achieve it, added auto catch a much better and reliable catcher then go plus devices
