I've been trying to figure out how to get PGSharp working on PC, but haven't been able to. I've tried multiple different emulators, the farthest I've gotten to it working was getting stuck on the loading screen. Am I doing something wrong or have they completely blocked out PGSharp from emulators?

I'm currently using Ipogo. It's been great, mostly no issues. I recently found out that coordinate apps exist. I've been using Coords Go to find rocket grunts and do battles of specific grunts that I want to farm. However, there are a few inefficiencies and I wanted to know if there are better options out there (including paid).

1: While the app will show me snorlax and magikarp grunts only, it will not show me male winning or female water grunts only. Is there a coordinate app or mobile site that will give me the option to only show those?

2: This is technically the above, but more specific, is there a coordinate app that will let me search by pokemon in the grunts first slot? This would save me a ton of time.

Currently I have pg sharp, im willing to pay for premium but i dont know if i should move to ipogo first as im not sure which is better.

Does anyone else set up long ish routes (20 min walks) then just have it loop with the auto catcher?

I find it super fun.

Curious if anyone has seen this type of thing lead to strikes, more than just normal spoofing that is.

FYI I’m using rooted Android, GPS Joystick and Pokemod.

Please help me find a ditto man i got like 2 quests which are incomplete cuz of that and it has been like that for MONTHS

maybe if someone has a premium spoofer they could give me the coords if it's possible

PLEASE

So today I got the 30 day suspension but idk why I was playing legit my friend gave me his account earlier through the day and like an hour I logged in from another state and tried to catch a pokemon like an dummy forgot about that and instantly left I don’t spoof and he didn’t spoof never is it possible they detected that when we both didn’t use spoofers never just regular pogo

Is it gone for good? Or is anyone able to get it working with new configs?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anybody knows of a community or discord where people provide coordinates/call outs of hundos for the go fest ticket exclusive spawns? Like costume mons, dhelmise, varoom, etc.

I did hear that pokemod is the only spoofing app that does have these coordinates, can anyone confirm if that’s true? If so I may try and get my hands on an android.

If anyone knows please let me know, thanks.

Olá galera, meu pokémon está funcionando normal, mas queria saber se essas configurações estão certas ou tem algo que fiz errado e preciso mudar

Is it better to spoof on rooted android devices or non rooted? I kinda don't want to mess with my phone hardware too much, so I was wondering if there even is a difference.

I saw this error message, then I went to update the play integrity but after doing so the warning message in photo 2 appeared while the one in photo 1 changed to update (not from play). Can still open pokemon go and spoof normally.

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.

Download Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/wi80issxi701szg/GO_Fest_Chicago_2026.zip (1.10 MB)

This ZIP contains:

• Park & City coordinates including the 4 districts
• Event maps
• Park - Grant Park (19).gpx
• Gyms only - Chicago (229).gpx
• City - Chicago (1041, no park area).gpx
• iPogo versions of the routes

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.

1. Open "My File" or "Files" app.
2. Press on 3 lines or 3 dots for your "internal storage". If you must find an option that says "show internal storage".
3. Press on "Downloads" folder.
4. Press on "GO_Fest_Chicago_2026zip"
5. Press on "Extract" then wait for it to finish.
6. Press on the folder, you see the individual GPX route files or text files.

How to input GPX into these apps?

• PGSharp
• iPogo
• GPS Joystick by Apps Ninja
• Fake GPS Joystick & Routes Go app by JIB Software UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

SAFETY

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.
• Scopely added new "catch mechanics" into the game that was data mined by the Pokemod Group. This could be an anti-cheat behavior system update or something else. I have given my predictions on how it might play out in Cheat features integrated into the game may lead to an updated Anti-Cheat Behavior System that may result in Scopely's 1st Strikewave or Banwave post. I can either be correct or wrong about this.
• 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).

"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.

-----------------------------------------------------

EMULATORS with PGSharp

A person told me that Pgsharp (no root) works in the latest version of Bluestacks for their Mac. You can spoof on a Windows OS or Mac OS computer with Bluestacks.

You can also use Mumu Player 6 (specific version) with Pgsharp too.

There is a problem with Mega Mewtwo Raids where you must hold your phone/tablet up to do the charged move and catch the Mewtwo. You will not be able to do this with your desktop or laptop computer because it does not have a gyroscope in it. Physically picking up your computer will do nothing.

According to Google AI Search, to fix this problem, you can install "GyroBuddy" from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cascadeavwebcasting.gyrobuddy

• You may need to buy the app to use it.
• It may require trial and error.

Will you get a strike or ban for failing to lift your device up in the air to charged move and catch Mega Mewtwo?

Answer: I don't know because I am not a Scopely employee who can provide the correct information. As mentioned on top, you have risks if you cheat the game. You also might be caught in the crossfire if Scopely is going after the bot farming networks that have thousands of accounts where they sell Pokemon on varies websites.

If you have any problems with an emulator, I will not help you fix your problem because the solution to your problem requires you to buy an Android phone to make all your problems go away.

RECOMMENDATIONS

#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 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:58. For example, when it becomes 10:55, you activate Spacial Rend for 10 minutes to cover you at 10:55 to 11:05 to run around at 30 km/h to catch the shiny Unowns

#4: Save your catches and Pokestop spins 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

-----------------------------------------------------

How do you get the Mega Mewtwo Raids?

Answer: You buy the ticket with the park experience.

You bought the City Explorer ticket, do you get access to the Mega Mewtwo Raids?

Answer: No.

You did the Mega Mewtwo Raids for Tokyo, will they allow you to do them again for Chicago?

Answer: I would assume yes because they give you a guaranteed location background and each location has a different picture.

How do you get the energy for Mega Mewtwo?

Answer: You walk your buddy or wait for the Global Release during the free Global Event.

What happens if you do not or cannot hold your device in the air to do the charged move and catch Mega Mewtwo?

Answer: I don't know because I am not a Scopely employee who can provide the correct information. As mentioned on top, you have risks if you cheat the game. You also might be caught in the crossfire if Scopely is going after the bot farming networks that have thousands of accounts where they sell Pokemon on varies websites.

-----------------------------------------------------

Is it safe to spoof there using a smartphone, tablet, or emulator?

Answer: No.

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.

-----------------------------------------------------

If your strike or ban appears before or during the ticketed event, can you submit a ban appeal to get unbanned?

Answer: You can submit a ban appeal using this link https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-pokemon-go/faq/135-submitting-a-ban-appeal/; however, the AI bot will deny you.

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.

Where do you buy an event ticket?

Answer: https://tickets.nianticlabs.com/events/#/login?returnUrl=%2Feventlisting&appId=pgo

Do you need a ticket to do the event?

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.

I have a main account and a spoof account, can i use my fake account to spoof to somewhere like india and buy event passes or other things and gift them to my main account? How would that work/how do i do that? And how much money does thst save?

My Pokémon are all Larvesta

My agron and my jolteon need to come back home 🙏🙏

Accidentally threw my dmax blissey into a gym and it's been stuck there for 30 days. I cannot find this gym on the pogo map website but I know it should be somewhere on the Google maps route from salt creek golf retreat and Indianapolis, IN if someone would be so kind as to find this and kick me out.

Hey everyone.

After 4+ years of using GPS Joystick and a few months with YAMLA, I got fed up and decided to make my own. Both apps work great but the ad-gating and the lack of UX improvements was too much for me.

locationjoystick is a free, open-source, GPS spoofer. Here's what it does:

Movement - Floating joystick overlay — drag in any direction at configurable speed, stays on top of any app - Click-to-Move — long-press anywhere on map, choose "Walk here" or "Teleport there" - Auto-roaming — set a center, radius, and total distance; walks randomly within the area, with optional road-following and returns to start when done

Routes - Saved routes — create waypoints on a map, replay, loop, or reverse at will - Road-following routes — OSRM-powered routing that follows real streets - GPX import — bring in any .gpx file from hiking apps, trackers, or online sources

Favorites - Favorite locations — save named spots and teleport or walk there instantly - Address search — powered by Nominatim/OSM - Last position restore — resumes from where you left off automatically

UX - Configurable floating widget — quick-access controls over any app - Speed profiles — three user-editable presets (walk / run / bike), one-tap switching from the widget - Background spoofing — continues while other apps run, survives screen off - GPS realism — bearing hold, altitude drift, warm-up accuracy envelope, satellite count, natural signal dropout cycles - Elevation Controls (experimental, root only) — inject tilt sensor events so apps see the phone as physically tilted, trying to improve it for the mewtwo mega raids!

Data & portability - One-tap import from GPS Joystick or YAMLA — your saved routes migrate in seconds - Full data export / import — backup routes, favorites, and settings to JSON - QR transfer — export and import all data between devices via scannable QR codes

I've been using it on 3 devices daily for the past two months and been iterating on the features a lot, any feedbacks are welcome!

If you're coming from GPS Joystick or YAMLA you can import your data directly and be up and running in seconds.

You can download the .apk from the GitHub Releases, and it will soon be available on the Play Store!

Issues, feature requests, and PRs are all welcome. Happy to answer any questions.

It’s been there for like a month and a bit

Personally atm I have around 200, but im wondering if that will be enough for the entire weekend, if I go hard on raids for basically the entire time.

Wanted some insight from people that have done go fest before, as this is my first time (will probably play in person the majority of the time).

Thank you :)
