The latest Pokémon GO cheats and hacks allow for a fresh way to fake a player's location or GPS spoofing and have glimpse on the evolution of specific pocket monsters. Both tricks lead to easier and more optimal gameplay.

In a new game tool pointed to by Lifehacker, players can now predict the evolution path of a Pokémon will take with the use of . The end-benefit is simple - players can choose which Pokémon to evolve, when to start the process and get an advanced picture of the result.

"This tool predicts what the Pokémon will evolve into based on the provided Combat Power and the multipliers gathered from the community," the report quoted Pokémon GO Toolkit, creator of the hack, as saying.

Using the tool, players can save time and resources used in evolving as the calculator mathematically predicts of the likely result even before the process has been started. Players, for instance, can cherry pick from their collection of Pokémon to evolve as the tool will tell in advance the power that a Mon will possess once evolved.

The Pokémon GO Evolution Calculator is most useful when preparing for battles or planning to take out a whole roster of pocket monsters residing in a targeted Gym. Prior to the attack, a player can plan ahead which Pokémon to really invest on boosting and evolving that later will be used in the ensuing showdown.

In another hack or more appropriately, a cheat tool that The Verge discovered, GPS spoofing is given a new twist as the creator made use of hardware tweaks instead of software. While the whole process is rather complicated - encasing a mobile device with installed Pokémon GO app in a radio frequency shield box, employing a separate device for generating GPS signal and using custom software - the report said that the tool is as effective as the existing GPS spoofing available to GO players.

It should be noted that the custom application is crucial for players to fake their location and be anywhere in the world where they want to be.

But The Verge noted that the trick amounts to cheating and could lead to getting banned from the game. For the curious at least, the clip below shared by the hack creator will show the way:
