Not really. People spoof mostly because it makes the game a lot easier. Anyone who plays legitimately, knows how much hardwork it takes to do most of the stuff in the game, from hatching eggs, to defeat raids, to hold/attack gyms, and so on. The way Niantic is so dumb, making the game increasingly harder for legit players, just reinforces why some players spoof, and incentives others to start doing so. Niantic could make the game perfect, and cheaters would still exist, the same way they do in any FPS game, racing game, and whatever. For most of the time, cheating isn't done out of protest agains the game devs, and just for their own benefit.

@@dcarvalho6144 you are right cheaters will always exist but if niantic made the game perfect then it would drop the number of cheaters significantly, I personally spoof but the reason why is I have 2 poke stops in my area and that’s it I would have to go 40 minutes to the big city if I wanted to do anything, that’s why I spoof to make playing more accessible.

@@dcarvalho6144Finally someone with my view. But I just think those who chests are some lazy asses

​@@dcarvalho6144but that's part of the game :/

Exactly, since 2023 from remote raid nerf they really had to silence themselves and wanted us to get the money for them

It's definitely out of spite because they recently said that they saw "the results they wanted to see" for the new pricing of remote raids

@@TheGamingInkling In my opinion from my observations. Im seeing alot more open lobbies in pokie genie than usual. Betting alot of people are not using remote passes anymore. They are making up for the slack just a bit for how expensive they are now, and how some people still purchase them. The only results niantic wanted to see is how much people they could piss off lol. Now that they have enough cash and have a great IP to abuse. They are just bored now.

I'm still so salty about the avatars. They removed so many good accessories. Looking at my old photos hurts, because I liked my old avatar and really dislike my current one. I told myself i'd put my money where my mouth is (forgot) but I think it's time to actually follow through and just stop supporting Niantic with in app purchases : )

I can recommend you Poke.Gishan or other Raid-Hosting-Platforms. Changed my past-spoofers life

A shiny behind a paywall? Wtf are you talking about

@@lastk1ngs636 shiny celebi, shiny mew, etc

@@lastk1ngs636 they didnt say that " If I wanted a shiny, I went and found it." sentence ended there. then moved on to the next subject, reread slower

I got caught spoofing twice, probably on the cooldown timer. And was banned for 30 days. What did I do those 30 days? I started another account, got to level 41 and built Pokemon with PvP IVs for both great and ultra league. With so many audinos available as well as the ability to snipe them, I got a full team of 6 built for both leagues and abandoned my old account

San Francisco was my place to spoof. I gotten my second account to lv 30 in three months

Honestly, I don’t blame you. I really don’t. NiAnTiC has made so many poor choices that there is really nothing much to do.

facts bro. if you live in a place like I do this game no where near worth playing… can spend hours trying to do something others can do in minutes.. it’s absolutely pathetic. 1 gym and couple stops in my city. not a single thing in walking distance

@@Kyle-nr3uv how you do it boss what app you use and does it cost? Do you do it without a computer too? I’m trying to do it on my iphone for an alternate account I have!

Have fun loosing all your Pokémon after you get banned for spoofing

Or better yet the endless soft banns you will grt

Just get and rooted android and enjoy flying with lower risk.

@seerepetrov2708 yeah I am looking into it I was banned too much on pgsharp thank you friend

If you pay someone to do raids for you doesn't that mean you gave them your login info? Couldn't they take your account?

I wish joystick was an option for people like you and for people that live in rural areas

@brianbrewer2909 I can't talk about it here, mate. I need to respect AK's channel, but Google will help. 👍

People wouldn't be spoofing still if niantic were banning a lot of the cheats cant/can barely get detected by niantic that's the reason it's gotten so popular and so many people do it even after all of niantics anti cheat updates none of them have stopped spoofers

@@bronson..they have temporarily stopped cheats, it happens in every game you can not stop them, the anticheat updates, the cheat providers bypass the updates the next day

​​@@bronson..They do ban a lot because lately the anti cheat is doing its job. Thats why you gotta Jailbreak/root your phone if you want to spoof without the risk of getting banned which stopped a lot of people from spoofing.

@@Kauan176ProBrthat's literally what i said

⁠@@James-tt8epi'm still spoofing idk what u mean bro

Their is big problems with them like taking gyms with 6 accounts so even if spoofing with 1 account they a problem.

@@basillah7650 i respect your perspective, from my experience with spoofers I’ve never had that issue with them, hell the ones i can contact , we have a system in place as far as gym control

Nerfic don't listen to there playerbase they made remotes stupid expensive elite raids broken

​@@basillah7650 Brother, that's a pet peeve, 90% of the flyers don't care about the gym

Remote raids were TEMPORARY! Get over it or quit already. They spoiled the remote raid community by allowing them to spam raids. You burnt the game out for yourselves by spamming raidsfrom your couch quit crying no one wants to hear it. And who is the remote raid community? The couch kids? Get out and play COVID is over so is the raid spamming

thats what 87 percent people do

It takes though. For example, Niantic is forced to balance the game, due to cheaters. There's also the case of the data. See, we have seen multiple times, that Niantic isn't particularly bright, nor it knows anything about what is like to play GO anywhere else outside of their city. Niantic uses data, and that data is often used to make decisions about the game, including events and whatever. When you have a ton of spoofers, filling the lobbies "in person" in major cities, for Niantic, that inflates the data they get from raids, which makes them think that people are going out to raid, just like back in 2017/18, when it's actually quite the opposite. The same for egg hatching, walking distances, etc. Niantic gets their data completely skewed by cheaters, which inflates everything. Then people are surprised that Niantic increases the amount of events that have walking requirements, likely due to the amount of cheaters, including defit users, that inflate massively the average distance they "walk" daily. I wouldn't be surprised if the average distance walked by players, was something obnoxious like 20-30km a day, which is far from reality, that would sit around 3-5km.

I *was* legit player untill 11 june, I broke my toe, now Im using pgs to walk around my city (maybe 1h playing everyday) without risking and breaking docs recommendation, not using option to tp to tokyo or other better places, maybe I do spoof rn but Im not a big fan of it, does it put me into blacklist of niantic? Ig yes but i have no choice to play unless I risk with my toe

people like Poke ak seem to be jealous or what we can say about his hate for shadow farming. beside that he has no gutts to face niantic and even he cannot persuade them through his vedios or his tweets to revert avatar update, so he is targeting normal people who are using bots.. Funny poke ak herosim, and some views for vedios, people in world know all the things going but poke ak need to be hero as if niantic will pay him, by making the vedio public haha..

I felt the same way but the remote raid cap was the last straw. Started spoofing 3 months ago and still no strikes no bans and have caught over 100 Shiny Legendary Pokémon, well worth it

@@talldude321 how do you get shiny 100 shiny legendry in 3 months , its a joke right , how many raids??

@abhishekks26 you have no clue what you can do on Ipogo on a rooted device or PGsharp huh? 😂😂😂

Not that I like pay to play, but they could add features on a subscription. I'd prefer to see that than all these freeaking boxes and tickets for sale.

Those were the days I literally went to Antarctica and walked around looking at cool stuff before they removed all the pokestops there

where do uou live?

How do you do it? What app do you use and how much does it cost? I’m looking to spoof without a computer on an alternate account on my iphone!

Yeah how, is it free or paid?

And spoofing gives you time to play? No it doesn’t and I hen niantic see you teleporting around like a fool you will be soft banned 2x 3rd is a ban they will delete everything you caught spoofing. Why waste any time if you don’t have any just quit

​@@scoogyskoogz1869the moment he gets the second ban he can just stop spoofing.. i already got soft banned twice but I am not going to stop spoofing.. i prefer to enjoy the game even if i lose everything instead of playing the game on a town with 0 players

​@@scoogyskoogz1869 Yes because I can do it from home. Never had a ban I don't teleport around excessively.

They give me 7 days ban on my 37 level account I have no choice now ,I will play regular one and do spoof with my alt account on other phones to trade with myself that is the last thing I can do now, because I have spend some money on that account and don't want to waste my money like that 😢😢😢

The best way to fix that, is to get a 2nd phone, or a phone from a family member, and just have another legit account to help. Niantic put too much emphasis on "only one account per person", which is literally impossible to impose. So, if that extra account helps you, and helps your community, go for it. That way, if everyone inyour local group does the same, you now double the amount of accounts in a lobby, which can make a lot of difference. The only problem, is that it takes more effort to build that extra account, but I'd say it's worth it.

As a spoofer myself, I can relate to this, theres a gym right outside my house but thats it for more than 4 miles, theres only a few pokestops here so I just gave up, I was so shocked to see 3 pokestops on each other in NYC, I kind of recommend spoofing if theres no one playing or raiding in your area

Join the dark side. It is fun.

@ryangreen1141 in theory, if you spoofed which app would you use? I have a couple bookmarked. 😀 If I join the darkside, I would probably locate in NY or Tokyo, maybe 😅

iTools mobile is insanely good

Rooting your phone and only that will make it safe for you. Do NOT use non-rooted services, because Niantic checks only in one way if you do hack/spoof: Validating the local game data and scanning it for manipulated files (they also check for Developer Options, if you enabled a fake-GPS provider, but this will not get you banned just there will bw no Pokemon Spawning with an error showing up.) Once you understand that, you can use whatever service you like that works by injecting into the game instead. However, only way to do that is giving superuser access to those apps. So that will require you to root your phone. Then you will be safe. Also rooting allows you to hide your Mock-Location settings, so you could do the most minimalistic way of spoofing without paying a cent: Using a GPS Joystick-App to Mock Location in Developer Options and use a special module for your root manager that prevents any app from noticing a fake-GPS

Haha scratch that, I found PLENTY of players to play with just after this comment lol.

I literally just jump to a good raid spot in the morning and then check for shundos for the rest of the day :D Not ruining anyone's fun

​@@naverich4603 This is literally 99.9% of spoofers, most aynal non-spoofers are genuinely just furious out of jealousy

Legit players will never understand that. They are Hardcore 🤷🏻

As someone who's been spoofing for 3+ years, the only thing I'll say is once you start, you won't want to go back. So make sure you want to cross that line, lol.
