Pokémon GO Cheats Made Easier with Jailbroken iPhone or Rooted Android Device – Here’s Why

The chief design of Nintendo's Pokémon GO is for users to go outside and seek out the pocket monsters scattered everywhere. But cheats, tips and tricks are always part of popular games and GO is no exception. And said to be the best way so far to bend the rules of the game is by playing using jailbroken or rooted devices. 

That means, according to Gotta Be Mobile, using modified iPhones or Android smartphones. That way, users can fake their Pokémon GO location and speed up everything, specifically the process of collecting Pokémons. "You can fake your Pokémon Go location to catch more Pokémon without leaving your couch," the report said.

But GBM also made clear that in tinkering with the GPS element of Pokémon GO, the chance is there that Nintendo will detect the anomaly and the result is scary. "It could cost you the account and all your progress if you are caught," GBM said.

So the warning is crystal clear: proceed with what follows below at your own risk.

Now to the point, the whole purpose of playing Pokémon GO on jailbroken iPhones or rooted Android devices is for users to achieve a set up in which the location can be manipulated and to hide the action as well. The latest Nintendo game can tell if users are playing on modified devices so it's very important to convince the game maker that is such not the case.

For both iPhone and Android gamers, there are apps available for users to hide their jailbroken or rooted state and then fake their location. The same GBM report provided the easy steps to follow with the assurance that once the guidance is followed, everything will work like a charm.

But the report reiterated that in making it easier to enjoy the Pokémon GO, that is messing with the game location, getting caught is reality and the punishment harsh - banishment from game universe.

If the measure discussed above seems too risky then its best to simply enjoy the game through the normal route. Per The Wrap, one surefire way of attracting Pokémons is using Incense, which is in the process will make Nintendo and Niantic Labs happy. For the most part, Incense is obtained through in-app purchase so getting it costs money but using it is quite effective.

"Incense ... when used it will lure Pokémon to you for 30 minutes," The Wrap said, recommending too that long walks while playing will lead to more powerful Pokémons. And the latter, by the way, is free.
