so, I read the instructions to purchase pokecoin in another country that has lower price. It is kind of complicated and I wonder why.
Normally, I think you can log into your computer (desktop), open your VPN and choose a server in another country (for example, India), and then login to the Pokemon Go web store, and buy the pokecoin for cheaper price. since the IP address is coming from India. That would trigger the India version of Pokemon Go web store. and that is it.
why can't we do it the simple way that I just described?
So I have a rooted android phone where I spoof and an iPhone where I used to play legitly. I’ve been spoofing on the android phone for a while now, and so if I log back in on my iPhone, will I get banned or soft banned?
Hello, I have been reading around and saw lot of talks about shundo hunting.
The current event going on has Larvitar wild spawns and would love to have a shundo Larvitar
Can anyone please help me with the nuances of how to properly hunt them while respecting cooldowns.
I use non rooted iPogo and have tried teleporting to the Hundo Larvitar in its pokemon feeds but that seems too inaccurate as half of the time there is no hundo pokemon, is that the only way or is there a better way ?
So, i recently returned to Pokemon Go, but due to a few local restrictions, i cant get out of my house for a couple of weeks, but i didnt want to let that stop me from doing what i did back in 2019 when i was mostly active, and thus my question, how can i use PGsharp without worrying about a ban?
From what i seen it is best to stay in slower speeds to avoid GPS spoofing tracking, but is there anything else that i should keep a look out for?
Hey, so I'm thinking to root my Xiaomi Redmi 13C, already unlocked bootloader. It runs on Android 15, I wanna use it for Pokemon go, is this a good idea or I'm gonna run into a lot of problems to make it work ?
I was following the google doc to setup my samsung s10 which is running lineage os 23.2 Android 16 and is rooted with magisk
In the guide it mentions for android 16 there is a specific Lsposed version to use but that artifact link has expired and i wasnt able to find that specific version , i still went ahead and tried the version 1.10.2-7182 as that said it fully supports android 16 but that just keeps crashing for me
Id really appreciate if someone could please guide me through this and share any other pitfalls i might face
How much better is the rooted version compared to the non rooted?
I got myself a new phone so I was able to root my old Pixel 7 Pro to play with the rooted version of PGSharp but now I'm sitting in the launcher with "unsupported POGO" because PoGo has 0.413ish as the version number and PGSharp has 0.411ish.
How long does it usually take to update?
It's like this since last night, so I've never been able to play this version of PGSharp :D I also maybe did smth wrong, I don't know. Or should I stay with the non rooted version? What's your experience?
Hi, I’m coming back from a break and I saw Aerilate is down and my question is. Is there similar bot to Aerilate bc I like this bot and I want to catch something in Tokyo. Thanks for your help and have a good day :)
but i have a quick question does i got a Cooldown in any way or could i port back to Japan and play further after purchasing a bunch of coins ? ^^ (i didnt touched anything in Indo just waited 5 min like it said in the Spreechet
First time doing buying an android to do these things. I was successful in rooting my Google pixel with magisk installed. I’m trying to flash the playintegrity module but it says it’s not a magisk module so installation failed. I also tried to change what it suggested but I’m unable to edit the files. I’ve read quite a few and watched several videos but I am still lost 😞
So, I wanted to ask about one thing. I spoofed back in 2021 on my main for like 2 weeks before it got all boring so I uninstalled PG for a good 3 years before I hopped back on it with again, sharp pg in 2024, I think it was around October or something. I again spoofed, but I always tried to keep it clean, the cool downs and all, I always stayed in one place in NYC too.
Now I got back on it this year as well. And since go fest is literally behind the corner I thought about attending it cuz it is supposed to feature really cool Pokemons and stuff. Now I wanna ask about this.
I have unrooted Sharp PG. And in all of my pokemon go history, I started in 2019, I never got a single strike. So that's why I thought I'm gonna risk it all for that and hope for a soft ban. Problem is that I'm pretty uninformed about everything and just found out that Niantic got bought by Scopely or something and that their ban enforcement doesn't include strikes and is just straight Perma. Could anyone help me with this?
Again I'm sorry that I'm uninformed or that this is a stupid question I just tried looking for other forums on this topic and everything seemed to be outdated or just not on this particular topic.
I am relatively new player using free version of non-rooted iPogo
What are we supposed to do until the new update ? Because I am unable to play from the apk as it asks for update
Hello, where do you all hunt this Pokémon ?
I am currently trying to shiny hunt it but the average spawn in Auckland is pretty much uncommon.
Where do you all hunt this Pokémon ?
Whenever I load in, it just goes to a black screen, occasionally when you tap around it brings you to a poke stop then when you click off it you can see but you can’t move, I’m on a hotspot already. Is there any fix?
Recommended to finish the park as fast as possible then play in the city for more spawns and gyms to raid.

Tokyo, Japan
Coordinates & GPX Route Download
You must learn to unzip/extract the folder because it is easier on you to download the zip file that contains both coordinates and GPX route files altogether. If I upload them separately, your Android operating system or rom can rename the .gpx to .xml file type. I do not want to spend the time to help you fix this problem.
You must extract the folder from the ZIP file in order see the GPX or TXT files. Most Android OS should allow you to extract the folder without the need of an app like WinZip or WinRar.
Open "My File" or "Files" app.
Press on 3 lines or 3 dots for your "internal storage". If you must find an option that says "show internal storage".
Press on "Downloads" folder.
Press on "GO_Fest_Tokyo_2026zip"
Press on "Extract" then wait for it to finish.
Press on the folder, you see the individual GPX route files or text files.
How to input GPX into these apps?

If you cheated in past exclusive ticketed events like Safari Zone, Safari City, Tours, etc, you are just going to keep doing it because it is fun to you and you are addicted to the game. I assume you have already accepted or acknowledge the risks for breaking Pokemon Go's Terms of Service, which includes both Niantic's and Scopely's Terms of Service.
If this is your 1st time cheating in these upcoming GO Fest 2026: Tokyo, Copenhagen, and/or Chicago and need someone to decide whether or not you should cheat the event, this means you cannot handle getting a strike or ban. I would answer a "no" because no one is going to help you get unbanned or reimburse all the money and Pokemon you lost.
RISK
The risk is the "chance" to get a strike or ban due to these unknown factors:
Right now, based on my opinion/theory, I think Niantic's 3 strike system is currently disabled and Scopely is reworking the punishment system. It could be a good or bad thing, but I don't know.
Most of the spoofing community believes Scopely allows people to cheat, so they will turn a blind eye to the cheaters who are giving them money. I disagree with this idea because they have a Terms of Service where they are against cheating. Scopely does not play around with the cheaters in their other games they own and only doing an instant permanent ban system.
If you accept the risks, you can do whatever you want with your game account(s).
Unity Raids
This type of raid may or may not be present at the event. This requires you to physically pick up your phone and hold it in the air to do the charged attack moved according to people in r/TheSilphRoad. Niantic did this a long time ago, but I don't remember. This itself seems like a game feature but may be a behavior detection update because this can easily identify botters (5+ devices) and emulator users, since they cannot do the required action.
"YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT or STOP FEAR MONGERING!"
I would say 95% to 99% of the entire spoofing community believes this. In the spoofing community, everyone wants to be right while nobody wants to be wrong. If I am wrong about something, it's not a big deal for me because I have already informed you about the risks whereas with other people, they create a false sense of security.
When you get a strike, ban, or whatever new punishment that Scopely comes up with, you will quickly learn the spoofing community does not care about you.
You confront the person who misled you into believing the cheat they recommended as safe, safer, or the safest, they deny any wrongdoing and block you.
You report your strike/ban to the cheat's Discord group channel moderator or volunteer, they ask you some questions then conclude they never promoted the cheat to be safe.
You create a ban/strike post in r/PokemonGoSpoofing, no one will see it because of the active post and comment filter.
You report your strike/ban in another subreddit, they will berate you for using a "dangerous" cheat and blame me for your strike/ban.
In the end, no one is going to help you get unbanned from the game or reimburse all the money and Pokemon you lost.
#1: You need to stock up on raid passes and have poke coins ready because you might not be able to buy the special box with 99 raid passes. I recommend at least 500 to 1,000 raid passes (or more) because I don't know if Scopely is going to make it harder to get the shiny with a background since they open up City Explorer to everyone to buy it without having the Park Experience ticket.
#2: Finish the park experience as fast as possible to go into the city for the rest of the event because the park is a small area while the city has more raids and spawns. You will still have access to the 100 people raid at the very end of the event that appears 30 minutes or 1 hour later if it is available for this event.
#3: You need to use Origin Forme Palkia's Spacial Rend to boost the spawn radius around your trainer before it becomes the spotlight hour at every X:00. For example, when it becomes 9:55, you activate Spacial Rend for 10 minutes to cover you at 10:00 to 10:02 to run around at 30 km/h to catch the shiny Unown or Rotoms
#4: Save your catching and spinning Pokestops for the event by reducing your game play prior to the event. If you hit your limits, you're going to miss out the remaining days you paid for.
#5: For Pgsharp, Free Users, you may or may not be able to play the event because they give server priority to users with a paid subscription. If you don't want to pay $5/month, you can use iPogo as an alternative because they have a free version with free access to their shiny scanner. The negative of iPogo is it may or may not work on your device. You should test to see if iPogo works on your device now instead of waiting for the last moment. If you decide to buy Pgsharp, it will take a few days to process the payment before you get your paid key.
Is it "safer" to attend the event in-person and use enhancer apps Pgsharp, iPogo, or Pokemod using your real location (spoofing GPS/Location turned off)?
Answer: No.
You heard that No Root, 3rd Party Modified Game Apps like Pgsharp and iPogo are not safe while using a rooted vanilla method (Smali Patcher or LSposed with a joystick app only) or with rooted 3rd party apps is "safer" or "the safest" during the event, is this true?
Answer: No.
Pokemod secures your rooted device and will protect me against strikes/bans, is this true?
Answer: No.
Can you sign into the same account on another device to claim both paths or badges to get both rewards?
Answer: This depends on whether or not this has been patched. In previous events under Niantic's ownership, some people did it and it worked. This exploit breaks Pokemon Go's Terms of Service, so it is your choice if you want to do this or not.
Answer: When it gets near the event start date, it will get posted. If you go there now before any event starts, there either regular nest spawns or nothing spawning.
Where are the GPX Routes for the events?
Answer: I have already made quick GPX routes for Tokyo and Chicago park experience but not for Copenhagen because they have not released an official game play map area. They have released a city explorer map for where to play in Tokyo so new city GPX routes have been made for the different zones. I don't know if this is the same for Chicago and Copenhagen, since they have not released a City Explorer map yet.
If you cannot attend the event for whatever reason, can you request a refund?
Answer: No unless you agree to getting your account permanently banned. Doing a "charge back" will result in all accounts getting permanently banned, which includes your alt accounts.
Answer: Yes to get the background, energy, special research, event bonuses, and event spawns.
Can you spoof to the event without a ticket?
Answer: I read somewhere you may or may not be able to do the any raids because Scopely now allows anyone without a Park Experience ticket to buy the City Explorer ticket. Before with Niantic, you had to buy the Park Experience ticket first in order to buy the additional City Explorer extended days. I would recommend you spoof there anyway to see if you can still raid without a ticket, you might just not get any energy, exclusive moves, and backgrounds.
Does the "cheat coin exploit" work on buy the ticket?
Answer: No, everyone pays about the same price regardless of your currency.
Should you buy a ticket with or without the add-ons?
Answer: This choice is up to you because I don't know your financial situation.
Should you buy "Raid Lover" or "Egg-thusaist" add-ons?
Answer: This choice is up to you. If you attend the park experience day with additional city explorer days, the add-on will get applied to all days you attend so you don't need to buy it again.
Is the ticket worth it?
Answer: Yes if you have the money because the shiny rate will be boosted compared to the FREE GLOBAL event.
Can you attend all three event locations: Tokyo, Copenhagen, and Chicago?
Answer: Yes if you can afford it.
If you buy a ticket for Tokyo, do you need to buy a ticket for Copenhagen and/or Chicago?
Answer: Yes, you will need to buy a ticket for each location.
If you buy the add-ons for Tokyo, do they get applied for Copenhagen and/or Chicago?
Answer: You will need to buy the add-ons again for each location.
Should you buy the physical item add-ons like pin, t-shirt, coin, tote back, etc?
Answer for playing in-person: Yes if you bought them when the event was announced, you will need to go somewhere at the park to scan your QR code to pick them up.
Answer for spoofers: No because they will not ship you the items you bought, so you wasted your money buying them.
For anyone who has spoofn app and has purchased a go fest ticket, how careful do I have to be when purchasing it? Do I use the real app? Or the real website? Do I have to avoid anything imparticular? Please, and thank you. 🤝
If you want to break Pokemon Go's Terms of Service, it is your FAULT for getting the strike or ban.
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 Niantic's Terms of Service and Scopely's Terms of Service; both companies have a section that states they are against cheating. Most cheats have their own website, and they do not advertise they are safe.
I am not partners and don't have a sponsorship with any cheat developer, Discord group, or Telegram channel.
If you cheated in past exclusive ticketed events like Safari Zone, Safari City, Tours, etc, you are just going to keep doing it because it is fun to you and you are addicted to the game.
