Master Top Pokemon Go Tips with iFakeGo

1. You are on cooldown. 💬 Join our Discord for more tips and discussions! Discord Link

1. A cooldown is the amount of time you need to wait after performing an in-game action, based on the distance you traveled between actions. Before the cooldown period ends, you cannot execute your next action in the game, or it will fail.
2. For example, if you try to catch a Pokemon, it might flee; a raid may not work, and a Pokestop may not give you rewards. If you used an action within two hours before teleporting, you’ll need to calculate your cooldown. If you haven’t performed any action in the two hours before teleporting, then you don’t need to calculate a cooldown. Generally, after long-distance teleporting, the maximum cooldown time required is two hours.

1. Sniping is the term for “teleporting and catching a Pokemon” that is far from your real location. To snipe, simply enter the coordinates of the Pokemon into iFakeGo, tap on the Pokemon, and catch it! Sniping has many rules you must follow to avoid penalties.
2. The most important rule is to respect the cooldown time, depending on how far you want to teleport and interact with the game. If you don’t want to miss the Pokemon, you can also “camp” on the catch screen until cooldown ends (explained below).

1. Speed Raids allow you to do multiple raids continuously without triggering cooldown. You must be off cooldown before starting, and after the battle, do not throw a berry or Pokeball at the raid boss. Hit “Run” and move to the next raid. The purpose of Speed Raids is usually to hunt for a shiny or specific IV Pokemon.

1. Camping means staying on the catch screen without throwing a ball or berry at the Pokemon until you’re allowed to catch it, depending on the cooldown period. You MUST follow the cooldown times; otherwise, the Pokemon will flee. If you don’t understand cooldown, check the previous answer for an explanation!

1. All coordinates posted in our app are for trainers level 30 and above. If you’re below level 30, the Pokemon’s IV and CP will be random. Additionally, hourly weather changes can affect Pokemon IVs. So, if a Pokemon is posted before 5:00 PM and you check it at 5:01 PM with changed weather, don’t be surprised—always verify the CP before catching.

1. To catch only shiny Pokemon, you can click on a Pokemon to see if it’s shiny. If it’s not, run away without triggering cooldown and keep looking for another shiny.

Safety Tips for Spoofing:

• Avoid cross-continent play in a single day: Although not confirmed, playing across continents in one day may flag your account. Try to play within a reasonable area, such as for raids, gym battles, or wild Pokemon hunting.
• Protect your identity when sharing: Cover or remove your username when sharing screenshots to avoid being reported.
• Avoid using Campfire: Although helpful for regular players, using Campfire may lead to flagging and detection for spoofers.
• Speculative risks: These actions might increase detection risk, though unconfirmed:
  • Walking extreme distances quickly
  • Participating in mass raids across multiple locations in one day
  • Making every throw “excellent”
  • Playing for impossibly long durations
  • Consistently reaching the daily catch/spin limits

The Account Maintenance notice is related to the number of Pokemon encounters. After a certain number of encounters, you might be unable to log in for 12-24 hours. To avoid this, limit your encounters, especially avoid using auto shiny scanners.

If you see the Maintenance screen, don’t worry—there is no evidence linking it to bans. Just wait it out and continue playing afterward.
