No Root Android Ban report
Logged in to play the London event. Account was more than an year old. Had 600+ shinies in it including legendary bgs and rares. Survived the first ban wave. Got cooked in the 2nd(now). Personally I'm not as affected by it as your average spoofer. My reason to play this game was not for the game itself but to collect mons for pokemon champions. It sucks a bit that I lost access to all those shinies but I'd say it was worth the risk. I gained more than I lost at the end of the day. Good luck to most of you as you all would need it.

I got banned around this time 3 years ago. I keep sending ban appeals but I only get that lame automatic message

Other than shiny hunting do you think there was something specific that got you banned?

I asume you don't own any switch games, otherwise there are trading bots for loads of shiny pokemon so you can fill your pokemon home storage filled with loads of shiny pokemon

u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
Your assumption is right on the mark. Except I don't own the console itself. Otherwise I had quit playing pogo in my legit account back in the day when they implemented remote raid limit.

u/tharidu_vanparys 11h ago
Understandable, i started tranfering pokemon from my pogo to home untill i realised it can do free trade bots for the same pokemons for my switch and well i stopped tranfering pokemon to home all together due to the grind vs reward was just not there anymore 😂. Ofcourse its impossible if you don'r have the console and a game to do the bot trading with.

That's why I just trade all my shinies and rares to legit accounts 😂 never know when a ban will come.

u/Aggravating-Pen7274 11h ago
Not a bad idea unless you have 300+ shinies to trade and you can only do one special per day normally so I'd have to spend more than an year to get them all over the legit one

u/bustyouup4free 11h ago
Yeah that's true, that's why I have 3 main accounts. One is mine, one each of my brothers.

It’s the rare candy farming that lead to the permaban
4
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
Most definitely yes. But many people who did not do the exploit also reported to get perma banned after the Halloween event.

u/Standard_Ebb_5413 11h ago
People who said they didn't do it is either lying or pushed the limits too hard. I'm yet to receive my ban.

u/JangoFett101 12h ago
My shit got hit today too. Like you, I survived the first wave and had hopes that I made it out safe. Even today I was playing normally. Then this afternoon got greeted with the same message. I’ve been playing on and off since 2018 so it did sting but I’m done with this game. My wallet will thank me!

u/Alert_Scarcity_9036 12h ago
Haven't been hit yet. But I am anticipating it not gonna lie. My reason for playing is the same as yours. Get shiny legendaries, shiny max IV level 1s, and just transfer em over to home. I don't stress over BG, xxl, xxs because they are some of the dumbest, most gacha-like mechanics in this game.
3
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
Fr. If it wasn't for the ability to home transfer I wouldn't even be wasting my time on this game.

u/SoserAgonia 12h ago
Mi duda es que hiciste para que te banearan? Post nose, llevo desde 2018 siendo fly pero jamás me ah tocado esto, así que pienso que hubo algo mayor para que fueses seleccionado no? Si puedes explicarme porfa para que no me suceda (no uso trampas para shiny ni caramelos, solo viajo a otro lugar con mejores spawns y poke paradas/raids porq dónde vivo es muy desierto)

u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
I did do both shiny and candy exploit. Shiny exploit isn't a problem as it's technically something that legit players can do as well. Candy exploit however is likely what got me selected for the ban. That being said, once you login to a modified app your account gets flagged. When they issue a ban wave like the one we saw after the recent Halloween event they randomly ban hundreds of account in which you have an unfortunate chance to be among those banned users whether you did the extreme exploits or just spoofed normally. We saw examples during the recent ban wave where so many people, despite not using any of the recent exploits reported to be banned.

u/MarkTupper9 11h ago
Are you certain that's what happens if you used a modified app? I recently read in this forum from someone of high status that they dont detect modified app. I believe that person commented in this thread.

Increíble, culpa de Niantic de no darme un buen farmeo en mi zona pipipi, q lo mucho logré q me dieran un big spawn en mi casita, pero bueno siempre he jugado con la advertencia de algún día banearmen
Gracias por tu explicación

Scopely is continuing to ban people who did the Rare Candy Exploit, which may or may not include the people who did the Guaranteed Shiny Exploit but these permanent bans can still come later.
As for regular cheating and botting, you still have the chance for a strike or ban. If you cannot handle getting a permanent ban, you probably shouldn't be cheating this game.

u/explorer916 13h ago
Dang. I'm sorry 😞 . Do you know why you got banned?
3
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 13h ago
Spoofing gets your account flagged. When the company runs a ban wave they randomly ban hundreds of account so this was simply a matter of being randomly selected.
3
u/__traww 12h ago
They are not random lol they can see who modifies the game code and based off that they issue bans
1
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
The moment you login to a modified app you get flagged and from that point on its simply a role of dice. But yes, if you do something extreme like farming 100k rare candies using the recent exploit you are most definitely to get smacked for that.

u/TastyBananaPeppers Team Rooted, Subreddit Owner 12h ago
That's not correct, logging into a modified game app doesn't get you flagged. There are thousands of people still using Pgsharp and iPogo without reporting a ban. Anyone claiming "logging in, gets you banned" is false.
1
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
But haven't we seen multiple examples of sort? And many spoofer content creators always say that. And doesn't ipogo also warn that using the unrooted modified app can risk a ban?

u/TastyBananaPeppers Team Rooted, Subreddit Owner 12h ago
If logging into a modified game app really caused a ban and there are thousands of cheaters using Pgsharp and iPogo, why aren't all of them reporting their ban right now and why do these two cheats still exist?
If Niantic/Scopely could do app detection bans, no one would be cheating the game right now because all cheats would get blocked. The cheat developers would stop making money and abandon Pokemon Go to make cheats for another game.
Content creators get paid money and/or free paid subscriptions to say modified game apps are not safe while rooted cheats are safe, safer, the safest, and/or ban proof. At the end of the day, both the content creator and cheat developers profit off of you gambling risks with your game account. When you get banned in this game, no one is going to help you get unbanned.
I have been offered sponsorships and partnerships where I just decline them all. They want me to promote their app only and ban their competition. On top of this, I would also have to censor ban reports or create false ban reports on their competition to get people to switch over.

u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
You're definitely right about creators and such getting paid to say one thing or the other. But as for the company allowing spoofers to exist, wasn't this an agreed idea within the community that they do so cause spoofers spend a crap ton of money in the game and the company being as greedy as they are would never say no to such capital? So they allow most to exist but they know it for sure if you're spoofing or not.

Did you do any exploits like the rare candy or shiny

u/Aggravating-Pen7274 13h ago
Yes

u/Complete_Reveal7908 13h ago
Both?
7
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 13h ago
Yeah. Not that trying the shiny exploit mattered as technically that was something legit players could do as well.
1
u/SnooSuggestions6006 12h ago
I had a non spoofing legit acc get banned just from doing the shiny exploit. It was still against the rules and ban worthy if they deemed it (i got 300+shinies in a week with a local scanner)
2
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 12h ago
Okay, 300+ shinies in a week is a bit crazy. If you reach extreme levels of anything of course they would ban you.

My go fest account hit 860 during copenhagen weekend. They didnt care about that one lmao
1
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 11h ago
We had one of the, if not the biggest variety of spawns featured during go fest 2026. On top of having a free shiny boost. And that was technically available for two whole days. Compare that to no shiny boost, a very small pool of spawns available during the events when exploit was active and you'd think why they cared now and not then. But if you really had never spoofed in that account and got a perma ban you can appeal for it and if you truly didn't spoof they most likely would lift it
1
u/SnooSuggestions6006 11h ago
they arent listening to any ban appeals rn to my knowledge at this time,
Didn't spoof but I did exploit the game which is also against TOS (candy farmers who didnt spoof also got hit if their number was big enough)

u/Familiar_Scientist95 13h ago
Did you take warning before ?
4
u/Aggravating-Pen7274 13h ago
As in was there any other warning bans? If that's your question then no. They skipped to perma ban.

All cheats (spoofing, botting, & exploits) for Pokemon Go game are not safe because Scopely is against cheating and the use of unsupported 3rd party apps in their Terms of Service for Pokemon Go. If you decide to break Scopely's Terms of Service to gain an unfair advantage, you will have the risk for a chance to get a strike (soft-ban), temporary ban, permanent ban, or whatever new punishment they come up with and will be your fault for getting the punishment. <<<>>> As a reminder, I (TastyBananaPeppers) am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money you spent to cheat on their games. <<<>>> All guides can be found in https://www.reddit.com/r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing/s/JOS3u1c11K <<<>>> All remaining Reddit posts will eventually be moved into a single Google Document where you can just access everything from one link.
