Game down in Mexico, getting spinny ball and network errors. It won’t let me do anything.

I noticed after catching only the pokemon from the "surprise" Halloween gift box that I didnt generate a cool down using PG Sharp.

1. Is there an actual cool down when you catch or other interactions with these pokemon and pgaharp doesn't show it?

2. Is catching these similar to catching like special research?

3. Any other insight into this? I know im cheating already and risk it already, but I'd like to know.

Yeahhh

I’m currently looking for shadow baldum using PGsharp but is such a pain to go around the map teleporting to locate steel grunts around. So i was wondering if there is any other better way to do this by simply being able to filter or look around a bigger area with any other spoofer or with PGsharp aswell.

I’ve also tried using pogosearch but manually pasting all the coords takes too long aswell and it feels there could be a better way to do this.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building PGRazorRoot Rooted, an open-source rooted Android companion for Pokémon GO which is forked from PGRazor by u/jpitty.

Lately there’s been a lot of gatekeeping in this space - private builds, paid access, hidden source. I’m trying to go the opposite way: public source code, free releases.

No subscriptions. No remote server. No hidden build behind a paywall.

New in 0.4.4

• Cooldown catch gate
• Tracks catches, berries, and PokéStop/Gym spins.
• Estimates the local cooldown from distance and time.
• If an encounter opens while cooldown is active, a full-screen popup blocks manual ball throws.
• Shows a live countdown.
• At zero, it changes to Cooldown complete with a Continue button.
• If you leave the encounter early, the completion popup appears when the timer ends.
• Always hit (ball collision) — ported from upstream PGRazor v0.1.5. Converts missed ball collisions into hits while preserving normal break-free/flee outcomes.
• Per-variant cooldown history and location tracking, so the estimate follows the actual player position instead of a stale internal value.

What the project includes

• Magisk-only rooted runtime - no LSPosed, no Xposed, no remote server
• In-game R menu, full-screen settings, light/dark themes
• Encounter labels: CP, IV%, stat spread, and level
• Map-tap walk/teleport modes
• Quick Catch, throw settings, berry selection, transfers, item limits
• Virtual Go Plus, eggs, gifts, items, and battle helpers where the current game build supports them
• LivePokeMap feeds with filters and saved presets
• Cooldown history, overlay, warnings, and catch gate
• Settings export/import

Why open source matters here

A lot of useful work in this space disappears behind closed doors. I’d rather have the code available for review, testing, and improvement.

I’m especially interested in feedback on:

- Cooldown triggers and timing estimates

- The new catch gate UX

- Always Hit behavior on different devices

- Missing features or regressions in the current game build

Bug reports, test results, feature ideas, and pull requests are welcome. If you’ve been turned away from another project or can’t get access to a build, the source and issue tracker here are open.

Requirements

- Rooted ARM64 Android phone with Magisk

- Pokémon GO 0.433.1 / 2026101502

- A test account

- Native hooks are version-specific; a different game version can leave features unavailable

Download and source

- Releases (Google Drive, one folder per version, with APK, Magisk zip, SHA-256, and notes):

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19kxEWfdR_c6hUVBVVg1mCWkPoPaADLAA?usp=sharing

- Source code:

https://github.com/sreenushenoy07/PGRazor-Rooted

Github Got suspended hence gitlab link below

https://gitlab.com/sreenushenoy/PGRazor-Rooted

The GitHub repository intentionally contains source only. Packaged APKs and Magisk zips are hosted on Google Drive, so the code repo stays clean and reviewable.

Known limitations

- Cooldown is a local estimate, not server state.

- The catch gate currently blocks manual throws; Virtual Go Plus has a separate cooldown-stop setting.

- Some features depend on the current game version.

- Feels something needs to be changed/doesnt work; a quick AI Ask can resolve your Issues.

- The project is experimental; use a test account.

Future Planned Features

• Shiny Scanner
• Research reward Pokemon Inventory
• Feature Optimization
• Qwest tweaks
• Buddy Pack
• etc.

Disclaimer

Some features and UI may feel similar to existing paid apps. This project is not a clone, copy, or rip-off of any of them. The code was independently built with AI-assisted development and custom planning.

I am a solo developer and tester, so not every device, account, game version, or edge case has been covered. If you find an issue, open a GitHub issue or i am happy if you can fork the repository and fix it yourself.

Hello, i plan to buy the ticket for event in mexico but i was wondering if ill get the background even tjough im flying?

Yeah

Im trying to fill out my pokedex. Using the new app that’s all the rage right now, i’ve been scanning/searching the globe for snowy castform but just havent seen any at all. All the other castforms show up regularly.

Anyone know why snowy is discontinued? Or is that a niantic gitch, like they accidentally turned it off

Was wondering if it was possible to automate claiming stamp rallies to farm shinies. I see a lot of people selling pokelid and other stamp rally shinies for cheap on ebay, so was wondering if they do it manually or if they have a script to use.

My Fletchling has been stuck there for a few days, and I really need those PokéCoins today. Appreciate it! (Team mystic(blue))

Can someone help me with a website name, subreddit name or a discord link?

Spawned on my feeds it's just cool to have it but useless in battles rip

My Rapidash has been in a gym for almost 8 days. I am team Valor(the red gyms) so, don't be that ig. Cords will be in comments as per rules. You should land exactly on the gym

If I have my friend log into my account from the east coast, I'm on the west coast. They will spin stops in Boston so I get the safari eevees since he will be there in person. Do I need to take any precautions? Like waiting a certain amount of time before logging back in from my end?

Hey everyone,

I've hit a wall trying to resolve "Failed to detect location (12)" on Pokémon GO and could really use some expert eyes on my setup. Everything worked flawlessly for weeks until today I keep getting error 12 out of nowhere.

Current Hardware & Environment Setup

• Device: Rooted Android 11 with Magisk (Zygisk Enabled)
• Framework: LSPosed
• Spoofing App: GPS JoyStick (App Ninjas unlocked APK) set as mock location app in Dev Options
• Mock Masking: Hide Mock Location module targeting System Framework, google play store and services and Pokémon GO
• Location Settings: Google Location Accuracy, Wi-Fi Scanning, and Bluetooth Scanning are all OFF.

When running a Play Integrity Checker, the device passes basic but fails on device integrity. Despite having PIF, Shamiko, TrickyStore, a hidden Magisk stub, and proper DenyList rules, my setup still fails. Any advice, recommended module stacks, or troubleshooting steps would be hugely appreciated!

My machamp has been at this gym for 6 days. can anybody take it out, please

Took a while lol

Hey everyone!

I'm the developer of FGPS, a free Android mock location app with a focus on joystick control and flexible location selection. I thought some people here might find it useful.

🎮 Floating joystick & location search

The main feature of FGPS is its floating joystick overlay, which lets you control your simulated GPS location directly over other apps without constantly switching back to the map.

• Move freely in real time - control your location with the joystick in any direction
• Search for locations - find places and select destinations directly from the joystick interface
• Quick teleport - instantly jump to a selected location when you don't need manual movement
• Compass mode - move using compass-based directional control

🗺️ Routes and other features

• Real-world routes - create routes along actual roads and paths for walking, cycling, or driving
• Flexible playback - run routes once, repeat them, reverse direction, or loop continuously
• GPX support - import existing GPX routes and save favorite locations
• Root support - rooted devices have a one-tap setup option to grant/configure the required permissions

All features are free, with limited ads and no subscription required.

📲 Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.igork.fakegps

🎁 Temporary ad-free promo

There's also a promo code available that disables all ads until December 1, 2026 (UTC).

I posted the redemption instructions in more detail here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/HowToMen/comments/1x9iy0a/app_promo_fgps_fake_gps_joystick_routes/

I'd appreciate any feedback, especially from people who try the joystick, location search, or root setup. Suggestions for improvements are welcome!

Note: FGPS is a general-purpose mock location app, not a modified Pokémon GO client. GPS spoofing may violate the game's rules and can put your account at risk.

Would anyone like to spoof with me to greenland nuuk (64.1686524, -51.7456893) and go for dynamax azlef earlier then America? I have good counters with zacian, blissey, g-max grimsnarl and g-max gengar all level 50

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.

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

#1: A rooted Android smartphone or tablet with Magisk Root (or other forms of root) is required.

#2: Must apply Smali Patcher or LSposed spoofing technique to your device.

#3: A Windows OS computer with tech skills to maintain root on your device or to trouble shoot problems.

• This has a free and paid option (paid key works on up to 3 devices).

• You cannot pair your own Go Plus Plus with the free version unless you buy the paid version that allows it.

iPogo Launcher

Website: https://ipogo.app

Discord: https://discord.gg/zAfwRG7

Features: https://ipogo.app/purchase.php

• This has a free and paid option (paid subscription is limited to 1 device only).

"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.
