This section is for broad discussions about location tools and member experiences.
The official Pokémon GO Gameplay Fairness Policy includes GPS location spoofing and unauthorized third-party software among behaviours that can lead to account enforcement:

No device setup, rooted phone, subscription, cooldown table or forum guide can guarantee immunity from enforcement. Claims such as “undetectable” need evidence and should not be repeated as a promise.
Make experiences useful
- State the date, app version, platform and changes you made.
- Separate your own observation from something you heard elsewhere.
- Describe the error or outcome without posting account identifiers.
- Explain the limits of a test. One account working does not establish a universal rule.
Do not ask members to share game credentials, trade accounts or run unknown files. If a game account is restricted, use the game's official support process. This forum and app developers cannot remove a game-provider restriction. Keep technical app-specific questions in the relevant tool section.
