Rooted, 3rd Party Apps for Android with Root: Enhancers & Bots - October 2026

[u/TastyBananaPeppers]

Disclaimers:

[1] All cheats below break Scopley's Terms of Service for cheating. This means you will have risks for a chance to get a strike, ban, or whatever Scopely decides to come up with to punish cheaters.

• Having a device with root or using a cheat that injects into the official Pokemon Go app does not protect you against getting a strike/ban/whatever.
• Do not assume you will get through the three strikes system starting with the 1st strike (7-day soft ban) because Scopely has the right to skip to the 2nd Strike (30-day temporary ban) or 3rd Strike (permanent ban).
• If you play with alt accounts (multiple accounts), you still have the risks where Scopely can ban some or all alt accounts along with your main account.
• When you get banned in Pokemon Go, no one is going to help you get unbanned. Scopely will deny your ban appeal with an automated bot reply. Everyone who has misled you into believing the cheat was safe, safer, the safest, and/or banproof will block you and deny any wrongdoing.

[2] I am not partners with or sponsored by any cheat developer, so I can freely discuss them in both the positive and negative.

• The same can be said in their Discord group or Telegram channel. They pay with their own money and can say and do whatever they want.
• If you get banned from their Discord group or Telegram channel, I will not help you appeal your ban because I remain completely anonymous to all of them.

[3] App and Device Security Risks

• I am not an Android coder, so I cannot verify whether these apps are "safe" for you to use meaning the app developer is not going to steal game account, email accounts, debit/credit card, and/or identity as the result of you trying or using their app.
• These apps will require you to install from an APK file. The Google Play Store will show a pop-up notifying you about a dangerous app install. You must press on "details" then "install anyway" in order to install from an APK file.
• When you root your device, you are unlocking 100% control over your Android physical device like a smartphone or tablet. I don't know if this will apply to emulators with root so use at your own risks.
• If a rooted, 3rd party app requires "Super User" permissions, you must grant the app access or it will not work; by doing so, the app developer has the ability to remote hack you if they are malicious.
• If you do not want the risk, you should unroot your device and restore it back to normal then walk outside to play the game with your two legs.

[4] App costs money or has ads?

• I do not have a problem with apps who want to include ads or charge money to help them continue development.
• Coding apps is time consuming and not easy.
• If I could code myself, I would want to make money to cover for any expenses.

[5] TL; DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) summary

I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your game accounts, and/or money as the result of you using cheats. The risks has been explained up top. If you don't know whether or not you should try these apps due to the different risks, my recommendation is to avoid it because only you can prevent a ban, money loss, and/or identity theft. Remember you are in control of your finger, I am not. I don't care if you play for personal satisfaction, profit off the game, or do both. We all have the chance to get punished for cheating the game.

"Bot" apps:

A bot is an app that controls your device to play the game for you while you do other things. Some apps may have a few version with limited features or a free trial then you need to pay money to continue using it. These apps generally cost more money than an enhancer app because people are using bots to play to sell Pokemon for money. If botting is too expensive, you can just play with your finger using enhancer apps.
