Pokemon Go: Doduo’s nest changed into Seel’s, Slowpoke to Magnemite, Staryu to Jynx

If reports are anything to go by, nests have changed again.

According to The Silph Road, there were huge changes to spawn and nest locations after the update on August 22. Nests are places in actual life where people can discover a large amount of Pokemon spawning consistently. These normally do not have rare Pokemon. However, a few players have found themselves residing near a place where rare Pokemon spawn.

Given below are the changes that players have observed since the update.

Niantic Labs has been banning cheaters, and a few weeks ago, the company instituted a permanent ban policy. According to reports, it is now taking one additional step to block fraud, and it is a new captcha feature meant to authenticate gamers to ensure that they are not robots.

This feature will prevent gamers from using third-party trackers and bots to avoid the rules while capturing them all.

The company has not begun using the feature yet. Once the captcha feature enabled, it will make it hard for gamers to use third-party services.

It is just a matter of time before hacks cease working. Steven Bartell, Insta-PokeGo creator, said that it will be actually difficult to crack. The service was used to capture 3.3 million creatures in less than one week but will be closed to prevent account bans.

FastPokeMap is an example of a service that tells players where creature spawn on the map is. However, the service may be going down as soon as the company implements the security measure.

Nobody is certain whether mapping trackers will be affected because it actually depends on how the company uses the captcha. If Niantic uses it when gamers spin a Pokestop or attempt to capture a Pokemon, maps can be fine.

However, if the company uses the captcha when it sees any kind of suspicious behavior, the maps can be in trouble too.
