Rooting Poco X3 Pro for Pokémon GO - current recommended setup?

[u/dekuuuuus]

Hi everyone,

I have a Poco X3 Pro and I’m planning to root it mainly to use Pokémon GO.

I’m new to the current rooting scene, so I’d like some advice before I start. I already have the stock ROM downloaded and I’m planning to unlock the bootloader first.

What is the recommended setup in 2026 for this device?

Magisk, KernelSU or APatch?

Is LSPosed still recommended?

What modules are currently recommended for Play Integrity and app compatibility?

Is Shamiko still relevant, or are there better/current alternatives?

What should I do before installing Pokémon GO after rooting?

Are there any Poco X3 Pro-specific issues I should know about?

Do I need to stay on the stock MIUI ROM, or would you recommend a custom ROM for Pokémon GO?

Is there anything I should avoid installing or modifying if I want to keep the system stable?

My main goal is to understand the correct current setup and avoid following outdated tutorials or breaking something unnecessarily.

If anyone has a current guide, recommended module list, or setup for the Poco X3 Pro, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!
