Pokémon Go players are becoming frustrated with cheats who keep developing new methods faster than Ni🎶antic can ban them.

Cheating in Pokémon Go is almost as old as the game itself. Players have been using 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokémon Go cheats for years but always with the fear of a ban from developer Niantic.  There is currently a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:three-strike system in place for players aiming to use third-party apps to gain an advantage in the game. However, despite these pre😼ventative measures there always seems to be more people circumventing the rules.

currently has a thread about banning boasts about cheating as one of its top posts. In the comments one user complains in a thread of similar stories about local players bragging about spoofing:

Spoofinꦅg is using methods to trick the app into thinking you are somewhere you're not. You can use this method to catch far-away rare Pokémon, battle and maintain gyms, as well as hit Pokéstops out of range. People do this in tandem with auto clicker apps that go out and automatically catch Pokémon for them. There is a subreddit promoting just this with almost 200,000 active♓ members.

There are other activities that members of the community find suspicious but cannot report without proof of cheating. One user talks about teams of level 50 players, the highest and most difficult rank in the mobile game, swarming gyms, and preventing💯 legitimate players from playing. While it cannot be proven the Pokémon were gained through illegitimate means it seems unlikely so many were♓ caught regularly.

Suspicious activity has been spotted by Twitter users also. One player claimed they encountered a Magikarp which soft-locked their game when they attempted to battle and accounts made up of just strings of numbers. Speaking privately to GamesRadar, another user shared screenshots and spoke about g🅷yms surrounding them filled with high-level Pokémon which are healed many times more than should be possible when they are close to being defeated.

Unfortunately, it seems players haꩲve accepted things like this series of recent cheating as expected. Many have leꩵarned to accept that cheating in Pokémon Go is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
