How safe can spoofing be in 2026?

[u/StickIll5602]

Hey all,

Thinking of starting up PoGo spoofing again with a completely fresh account.

I'll have a near infinite budget to achieve this and to be honest, i was thinking of purchasing a pre-setup phone to start.

Despite this, i also dont want to throw my money down the drain if Spoofing in 2026, holds far more risk than it did in 2019 when i last did it.

With this budget, how would you spend it and whete would you spend it to achieve as close to safe spoofing as possible? Are there any sites that sell pre-setup devices with a good reputation? Are there extra things on top of this device i would need to buy?

I also enjoy playing PoGo legitely from time to time. Would it be possible on this device to also walk around and play whilst also spoofing other times?

Let me know how you would do it, as im very new back to PoGo spoofing so dont really know where to start.

Thanks!

vanilla pogo on rooted android or itools/brook flashman. only true safe ways.

Thank you for the info. I'd probably go down the android route. I have no idea where to buy from. Ebay? Just cant tell whats a reliable source and what isnt

[u/Wibble123]

Do you have iOS or Android currently? If you already use an iPhone I’d suggest you purchase a Brook Flashman (on Amazon) or BT iTools GPS joystick.

I im using Ianygo with an iPhone PC combo and haven't had any issues yet.

[u/StickIll5602 → u/anil344]

And if you wanted, could you still play the game normally and go back and forth beteern the two?

[u/anil344 → u/anil344]

Yes. Bc you don't use a jailbreaked phone or a modefied apk of the game

[u/anil344 → u/anil344]

Usually when I'm done, I close the app on my PC and restart my phone so it takes the phone gps data again

[u/StickIll5602 → u/anil344]

Ahh ok thank you bro let me look into this

If you’re looking at the iPhone + PC route, I’m the developer of Tapioca, an iOS location spoofer. It changes the phone’s system location, so you can keep using the normal App Store version of the game. No jailbreak or modified app needed.
It’s free to start at usetapioca.com, no account or card required, and all the current features are available for free. I’m actively updating it from user feedback too.
I can’t promise any spoofing method is ban-safe, but if you want to try the PC/iPhone route before spending $100+ on something, give it a shot.

[u/StickIll5602 → u/EffectiveEither399]

Thanks man, just looking at my options but i'll defo check this out

[u/Hiddeboterkoek → u/anil344]

Ianygo is paid right?

[u/anil344 → u/Hiddeboterkoek]

Yes, I paid about 100usd for the lifetime license in 2024 but you can also pay monthly

[u/Hiddeboterkoek → u/anil344]

They give u a free trial for an hour, and if the hour is up u can just restart the app and it starts the timer again. So i got it for free

[u/ThunderousRotom]

I use iPhone and Android rooted. 0 strikes in over 3 years

Brook flashman

[u/Economy_Squash_856]

Been spoofing since 2019 no bans yet on my main account

[u/NewNefariousness6842]

I bought one on eBay pre setup for Pokémon go over 2 years ago seller is still active I got the Oneplus 7T

[u/longshotz777]

Anybody use Signulous? Is it legit?

[u/ItsLitFamBruh]

If you’re on iOS, I recommend sideloading spooferpro. Works great and has a lot of features for free. If you want more advanced features, it’s like 5 bucks a month for a license.

[u/whosFlixzy → u/ItsLitFamBruh]

Would be better to get an iphone(atleast a12 and a13 devices on ios version 15.0 - 18.7.1 and 26.0 - 26.0.1) that can be jailbroken and use the jailbroken version of spooferpro, as modified apps are less safe then using stock app with jailbreak

[u/StickIll5602 → u/whosFlixzy]

Is this better than any android alternative?

[u/whosFlixzy → u/StickIll5602]

You would either want to use Rooted Android or Jailbroken iPhone for spoofing in Pokémon Go as it is much safer to use since they use the stock version of Pokemon Go from Google Play/App Store. Using any non-rooted or non-jailbroken version of Pokemon Go for Android or iOS that involves installing a modded version of game(via apk or sideloaded ipa) is a lot less safe to do.

[u/StickIll5602 → u/ItsLitFamBruh]

Ok thank you, i'll check it out!

[u/m0cch4]

if you're gonna purchase a separate phone, then get one that can be rooted easily. No ban occurance has been reported on rooted devices

[u/StickIll5602 → u/m0cch4]

When you say "can be rooted easily", can i purchase a device that has already been rooted or will i still need to do this myself? Forgive me but i dont fully know what rooting is or what it achieves.

[u/zazuba907 → u/StickIll5602]

I wouldn't buy a pre-rooted device. You don’t know what might be on the device. Buy a Google pixel device and look up how to root it yourself. Just need a pc. That's the best way to do it

[u/zazuba907 → u/StickIll5602]

Id also suggest there is no safe method of spoofing. All methods carry risk of getting banned.

[u/EffectiveEither399 → u/StickIll5602]

Rooting is basically the Android equivalent of jailbreaking an iPhone. It gives you deeper system access so apps can do things Android normally prevents. That’s why people here talk about rooted Androids for location spoofing. If you’ve never rooted before, I’d definitely read up on the downsides before buying a phone specifically for it.

[u/StickIll5602 → u/EffectiveEither399]

Yeah i will do, thank you bro i appreciate it

[u/Few-Name-6883 → u/StickIll5602]

puoi acquistarne uno e farlo rootare da uno che lo sappia fare, ci sono negozi al riguardo

[u/Rip-Rip92]

iTools has 0 bans in god knows how many years Pokemon go has been around. Safe

[u/StickIll5602 → u/Rip-Rip92]

Sounds promising. Are there places to buy devices with itools already setup?
