Why Does My Pokemon Go Character Move on Its Own?
It could be a weak GPS signal. If you're indoors or have bad cell service, your character can start acting like it's had too much coffee. Step outside or away from tall buildings to fix it.

Sometimes my avatar also goes on unplanned adventures! It's usually because of GPS issues with my phone. I noticed it happens a lot when my device is overheating or low on battery.
Your character might be moving on its own because of GPS drift. Sometimes your phone's GPS gets confused, making your avatar wander off without you. Try restarting your phone or recalibrating the GPS!
