Can Pokemon GO Ban You for Spoofing? Here’s What You Need to Know
Last updated
Ever wandered if your Pokemon GO adventures could hit a snag because you toyed with the idea of spoofing? Let’s dive straight into that buzzing question.
So, can Pokemon GO really show you the door for fiddling around with your location? The answer’s more straightforward than finding a Pidgey!
Yes, Spoofing Can Get You Banned
Pokemon GO, the game that turned our sidewalks into a bustling universe of creatures, has a clear stance: spoofing is a no-go. If you’re scratching your head wondering what spoofing is, think of it as tricking the game into believing you’re trotting the globe while you’re actually chilling on your couch.
This game thrives on the thrill of the hunt in your real-environment. When players spoof, it shakes the very foundation of what Pokemon GO is all about. Niantic, the brains behind the operation, views this as cheating and, yes, it can land you in hot water, a.k.a. getting banned.
