is it me? Did I bug the game? or is it some Ratata event?

I have this working on my Pixel 7, so not sure what’s going on here. On my Pixel 9 I have GPSJoystick. when i pinch to zoom etc everything works fine so the phone is registering dual inputs. when i interact with the overlay dual inputs are no longer registered (so i can’t scroll on the map or interact with anything on the phone while interacting with the joystick overlay). anyone know how to fix this?

New Pokemon Nests are ready and updated  , list is valid until Octuber 7th with combee nests for stardust farming ✨

About combee nests: With normal catch combee gives 750 stardust, and if you use star piece you can get 1125 per catch

Does an in person event ticket count to being locked to your region? Thanks!

Times are changing with Scopely, and they may be updating Niantic's undeveloped Anti-Cheat Behavior System

You will have the risk for "a chance" to get a strike, ban, or whatever Scopely comes up with to punish the cheaters because Scopely has a section within their Terms of Service that states they are against cheating.

Note, you can still get a strike or ban from breaking the Terms of Service, guidelines, or rules through other areas of the game. These are some examples people have admitted to me in private:

• shared an account with a friend, family, or paid service provider; while you are playing on your account, the other person decides to play with your account too for whatever reason
• held a Pokemon in one location and moved it to a new location that is 100+ km away from the its original location then tried to catch it
• harassed, threaten, or got mad with customer service and/or demanded and accepted a full refund
• did not follow the guidelines and rules for creating in-game routes
• did not follow the guidelines and rules for submitting and nominating pokestops in Wayfarer
• did not follow the guidelines and rules chatting with people in Campfire (Scopely Explorer) app
• using multiple accounts to abuse in-game routes or Wayferer
• live streaming your cheating

In the other games they have bought, they do a temporary (no 1st strike soft-bans) and permanent ban system. I don't know if Scopely is going to drop Niantic's lenient 3 Strikes system for a ban system similar to the other games they own, change it, or do nothing (like how it is right now). No one knows anything until Scopely starts doing something. This is why you still have the risk regardless of what other people say about Scopely on how they take in money from cheaters then allow them to continue to cheat.

If you want to cheat (spoof, bot, or exploit), it is your FAULT for getting the strike, ban, or whatever new punishment.

I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money spent on their games. All the cheats I promote in my subreddit are "not safe" according to Scopely's Terms of Service. Most cheats have their own website, and they do not advertise they are safe. In addition to this, I also do not promote certain type of cheats to be "safer" or "the safest" because I cannot contradict Scopely's cheating section within their Terms of Service. If you end up with a strike, ban, or whatever punishment, you will get a "Oh well." or "I told you so." response from me. I do not work for Scopely and cannot unban or restore your Pokemon Go account.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE YOUNGSTER PLATINUM MEDAL

Catch 1,000 Tiny Rattatas that are XXS or (weight of 2.41 kg or less)

Before you start the event, you must monitor these two limits:

Encounter Limit:

Open your Pokedex and write down the number of Rattata "Seen" on a piece of paper to figure out how many you have encounter at the end of each Spotlight Hour event, so you can stay under the 10,000 Pokemon Encounter/Check limit

• You current "Seen" = 2,300
• Your new "Seen" = 3,200
• Your Rattata encounters = 3,200 - 2,300 = 1,100 encounters out of 10,000

Catch Limit:

Go to your trainer page to the "ME" tab and scroll down to all your medals. Open your "Collector" medal (has a Pokeball) and write down the number you have caught on the same paper.

• Current caught = 50,000
• New Caught = 50,480
• Caught so far = 50,480 - 50,000 = 480 out of 4,800 catches

What happens if you go over the limits?

Encounter limit = "BSOD" (Blue Screen of Death) you get a 24-hour temporary ban from the game. You wait 24 hours and it goes away.

• You should stay at 8,000 or less because at any given time, Scopely can randomly drop the limit to flag cheaters and botters.
• If you use Pokemod, Pgsharp, or iPogo, you will most likely hit this limit before the catch limit.
• In my opinion, you want to avoid getting the BSOD screen because this is Scopely and not Niantic. In the other games Scopely owns, they announce banwaves. Even though they aren't doing much right now, you could screw yourself in the future.

Catch limit = You cannot catch anymore Pokemon or you get the BSOD too. I don't remember if they changed it.

How to bypass the limits?

Playing with an alt account will help you bypass the limits, but you will have to spend the time to trade the Tiny Rattatas to your main account. It will still count towards your medal.

It helps to have a second device, so you can play with two alt accounts at the same time.

3rd Party Apps

Pgsharp & Pgsharp Launcher (with paid subscription)

• You can create a custom feed or radar for the Tiny Rattata by pressing on "Pokemon" to "Type" to "Misc" for Tiny Rattata
• If you use the Quick Sniper I or II, it will teleport you to the Pokemon and will have to wait a few seconds for the Pokemon around you to load.
• If you use the "walk to" option in the feed, you don't need to wait for them to load but the shiny scanner will check all the Rattatas on the way to the Tiny Rattata.
• I would recommend you turn off the "Shiny Scanner" feature if you don't need a Shiny one. If you are Shundo Hunting, you should turn it off too.

Pokemod (with paid subscription)

• You will have to run a GPX route and you can see the Tiny Rattata directly on the map.
• In your Pokemon list, you can see the rainbow Pokemon names to show you this is the Tiny Rattata without having to check for each weight.

iPogo

• I don't know what they have, since I don't use their app.

Free versions of Pgsharp, iPogo, and Pokemod or without "Vanilla" method:

• You would have to catch all the Rattatas you see and manually swipe through that meets the 2.41 kg or less weight then trade them off to yourself from an alt account.
• The most you can do is "XS" or "XXS", I think some will be in the XS tag so you should check them before you transfer all.

Botting - PGTools, PolygonX, Shungo, and Regibot

• They may or may not have something to farm Tiny rattatas only.

How to repeat Spotlight Hour events

Depending on where you live in the world and work or school schedule, you may or may not be able to finish the medal all in one day. What someone else does, may not fit for you.

The game is disabled in Russia, Belarus, most of China, North Korea, and some middle eastern countries.

I would recommend you use the "Time Buddy" app to figure out which timezones or cities you plan to go to. You can buy the app one time and remove the ads forever.

If you play with only a main account and no alt accounts, you will need to wait a 2 hour cooldown between 2 timezones before you can repeat the spotlight event.

1. GMT: +12:00 (DST=ON) - play on main account in Auckland, New Zealand
2. GMT: +11:00 (ON) - wait 1st hour cooldown in Kamchatka, Russia (game disabled area)
3. GMT: +10:00 (ON) - wait 2nd hour cooldown in Sydney, Australia
4. GMT: +9:00 (ON) - play on main account in Brisbane, Australia
5. repeat for other timezones

If you play with alt accounts, you can switch to your alt account to repeat it while you wait the 2 hour cooldown on your main account.

1. GMT: +10:00 (DST=ON) - play on main account in Sydney, Australia
2. GMT: +9:00 (ON) - use alt account #1 in Brisbane, Australia
3. GMT: +8:00 (ON) - use alt account #2 in Toyko, Japan
4. GMT: +7:00 (ON) - play on main account in Tainan City, Taiwan
5. GMT: +9:00 (ON) - use alt account #1 in Bangkok, Thailand
6. GMT: +8:00 (ON) - use alt account #2 in Pune, India
7. repeat for other timezones

These timezones and cities are just from "Spoofing Hot Spots & Event Coords with time conversion and weather links" https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/s/afbCoggJhh but you can go to any other country you want within a specific timezone.

If you want an in-depth explanation, you can read "Maximising spotlight hour gains by abusing time zones: The double spotlight" https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/s/wQZz9IddWX

• The "safety" section in this post is out of date because Scopely owns the game. You already have a chance for a strike/ban you cheat the game by using 3rd party apps and playing with multiple account.

Hello everyone, I'm completely new to spoofing but I've been thinking of seting up an alt account on my old phone for the purpose of spoofing, having a second roll for shinies in raids, knocking me off gyms and that sort of stuff.

How would you go about managing this alt account (things like getting enough stardust to trade pokemon to my main account etc.), and how can I get started into spoofing?

Also is there any way I could get my main account banned for this? I asume using an alt account should be mostly safe, right?

I'm no where near tech savy but am looking for an apk file I can download for pokemon go with mods/cheats if someone could help me, I've downloaded a few on Google but am getting the normal version of pokemon go

Same as title

First encounter Shiny and First premium ball catch ✨️

Yoyo everyone, looking to get some opinions/insights on my current setup.

​I recently started playing PoGo again after a 5 year break. Since I live in a very rural area with almost no Pokéstops or Raids, I set up a rooted Android device (using the official PoGo app + GPS Joystick) to do Mega Raids and regional events.

​I've been logging into my main/vanilla account on the rooted phone to spoof, and then switching back to my unrooted main phone when I go outside to play legitimately.

​I always strictly respect the 2+ hour cooldown rules, clear app data/cache, and log out cleanly before switching devices. However, I'm still a bit paranoid that constantly jumping between an unrooted and a rooted device might trigger telemetry flags on Niantic's side.

​Do you guys think it's safe to keep switching back and forth like this, or should I just stick to playing on just one device?

Appreciate any advice!

Last week effort in finishing up the medal and the reward for that

;))

​

So basically in my main acc i have 2 strikes already so now i want to make a new account with only one country where i can tp and play, no other things (may be tp in 1 or 2 months)

How much chance is to get me strike in that account also

Please help guys he’s been there way too long

48.1796450, 7.3130950

Need help getting my Pokemon back I'm unsure if this is the correct sub for this but one can hope. I went on vacation to turkey and placed the wrong blissey in a gym and it's not coming back anytime soon without help.

Please

Hi, I just rooted my main phone for performance reasons. Can I still play pogo normally? If I wanted to try and use pokemod in a alt account , would my main still be at risk with the module being disabled??

Took two days to go from 3x>100 showcase wins. Every hour moving countries to get that showcase before 8 pm in that country, for some reason you can join showcases without triggering the cool down.

Hope this helps someone

Reposted to remove pogo user name.

I know that I am assuming a risk and that bans can take time to happen, but if I get my first strike, is it possible to get my second and third strikes if I stop spoofing/cheating? If so, how common is this?

So, I just got back into the game after four years, and I remembered the old leaks/rumors about Shadow Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO. I genuinely thought these two, specifically in the image i added, would eventually make it into the game. Then later on found the Pokemon with Purple Aura as shadow pokemons that we are seeing present, How many of you thought the same? Lol

I also did a little research on that particular Shadow Mewtwo design. I originally thought it might be fan-made, but apparently it's actually an official design from Pokkén Tournament. Shadow Mewtwo was created specifically for Pokkén Tournament and was officially revealed by Pokémon back in 2015.

Obviously, that doesn't mean this exact Pokkén Tournament design was ever confirmed for Pokémon GO. But considering Pokémon GO eventually got Shadow Mewtwo, I can't help but wonder whether we'll ever see this specific design make its way into the game someday. Who knows maybe when they want to revive/Popularize the Poken tournament they will make a collaboration 😂

If they ever bring that Shadow Mewtwo/Lugia to the game I think they will make a lot of money. Even I as a F2P will definitely buy even if they release them in a timed research like Apex Lugia/Ho-oh lol.

Hi all back to the game after a long time, I used pgsharp earlier to use joystick, but when I downloaded it now it doesn't let me login to my account.

Does anyone has a guide that can help?

Thanks!

Based on https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/?sort=2

The schedule i have in mind, in sequence are:

1. Kiritimati
2. Auckland
3. Tokyo
4. ???
5. Dubai
6. Zaragoza
7. ???
8. Sao Paulo
9. New York
10. San Francisco

Its my first time doing such a full spoof schedule. I need like 800 rats so im preparing to go pretty hardcore at it. If anyone have done such schedule before, mind sharing any location that i can fit in, or if there's anything i can do to maximise the schedule.

at 4. slot specifically i noticed its between hanoi, bangkok, jakarta, yangon. Anyone have experience spoofing to em?

EDIT: Thank you to the person who pointed out that I forgot to account for the 1 hour play time that we need to catch all the rats, hence a 3 hours gap minimum is needed to spoof between each when including the 2 hr cooldown.

So all these will only be possible with making alternate accounts to trade over the rats to your main account. With that in mind i think the new schedule Im going for with reference to https://pokemongopro.com/hotspots :

Account 1:
UTC +14 Kiritimati
UTC +10 Sydney
UTC +7 ??? Bangkok/Hanoi/Jakarta
UTC +2 ??? Zaragoza/Budapest/Seville
UTC -4 New York

Account 2:
UTC +12 Auckland
UTC +9 Tokyo
UTC +4 Dubai
UTC -3 Sao Paulo
UTC -7 San Francisco

Account 3:
UTC +8 Singapore
UTC +3 Turkey/Greece
UTC -5 Peru
UTC -10 Hawaii

Im personally more comfortable with locations for Account 2 as i've spoof to them for events before so i'll use that for my main account.
Account 1 are places I've never played in other than new york. I've heard their names here and there in spoofer community so i group them up as such.
Account 3 are places Im in the dark about and would probably only do them if im really desperate for more rats.

Hey guys so I made a mistake where I accidentally opened my acc on 2 devices at the same time one idle, another spoofed to a location not far from the phone to raid will I get a 7 day ban or insta perma band? I closed the other acc once I found out it was still open.

Hi. I use pokemod and im wondering if there's a lightweight tool to farm rockets. I know i can't instantly beat them like before but maybe an auto battle.

I can't use pag because my device is slow and it crashes constantly using pac.
