Pokémon GO hacks, bots and GPS spoofing can get players soft banned but there is a way to bypass the Softbank which can last long up to several hours depending on the gravity of the offense.
Some players who are not actually using Pokémon GO cheats, tips and hacks can sometimes be given a soft ban if they were playing the game while driving through the streets in fast speeds. Niantic has already put a warning for players every time they open the game to refrain from playing Pokémon GO while driving.
Fast speeds can get a player soft banned because that's usually how Pokémon GO GPS spoofing works. Players can still bypass the Pokémon GO soft ban by going to their nearest PokéStop and swiping it for 41 times, Android Headlines has learned.
Softbanned players are prohibited from taking items from PokéStops and battling other Pokémon in gyms. Any Pokémon that they try to catch will also flee after the first Pokéball thrown at them.
Pokémon GO bots like the famous Necrobot have a way to bypass the bans and it could be the automated swiping of the PokéStops for more than 40 times. Niantic is trying to get rid of third-party Pokémon GO hacks because it takes up a lot of their servers' resources, iTechPost reported.
With a method to bypass a soft ban, players are not discouraged to use Pokémon GO bots and hacks including GPS spoofing. There has been no concrete proof yet that somebody has been permanently banned from playing Pokemon GO due to a cheat or trick.
One reason for this is because banning someone for playing too fast in their cars could cause an outrage among the users. Pokemon GO bots and fake GPS can imitate how a human actually plays and it could be hard for Niantic to determine whether who are the actual botters as they can play safe without raising any red flags.
Players who do not want to be softbanned can just use Pokemon GO hacks and bots safely by not going out of their country and not using a fast walks peed. Necrobot allows players to tweak the settings in order to fool the Niantic servers even further while using the Pokémon GO bot.
