You can teleport yourself or create a path to walk.
The chance of getting a soft-ban with this method is very very low.
If you are an app developer and owns a macbook, you might have already figured this one out.
What you'll need:
- Macbook or iMac with XCODE installed
- iPhone with Pokémon (duh)
- iPhone USB cable
What you'll be doing in short:
- Create a simple app for you iPhone
- Generate a path or just a single location point
- Load the path and Go!
Step 1:
Connect your iPhone to your Macbook or iMac
Open XCODE and click on "Create a single view application" and press next
Give your product a name and an organization identifier. It can be anything, but for now just fill in Test in both fields and press next. If you have already entered an organization identifier before, I suggest you stick with that one.
Choose a location to save the project and press create.
Step 2:
You'll need to select a team that works on this project. So go ahead and click on fix issue and enter your iCloud credentials and select yourself as the team. If you have already done this, you can choose your name from the dropdown list.
Step 3:
Press the play button in the top/left corner and it should build your app on your iPhone and launch it.
If this doesn't happen. It means you didn't authorize your organization as a trusted one yet.
You can do this under Settings -> General -> Device Management and click to authorize.
Step 4:
Go to https://www.google.nl/maps and create a path or just pick a spot you want to teleport to.
When you are creating a path. You should have an end location that is near your start location. The app will loop itself.
If you don't do this, you'll risk a soft-ban of 30mins. Because you'll get teleported back to your starting location and start walking again.
Watch how many minutes google thinks it will take to walk. I usually divide this number by 2.
When you're done, press the hamburger menu on the top left corner and click on Share or embed map.
Optional: pick the shorturl option from the popup.
Copy the url you get from the popup.
Step 5:
Go to https://mapstogpx.com/pokemon.php and enter the google maps url in the input field.
Pick a nice time in the Simulate Travel Location field and press the LET'S GO button.
Step 6:
Go back to your XCODE and click on the arrow gps looking icon at the bottom of the screen.
The hover text should say Simulate location.
Choose for Add GPX File to Project and pick your saved GPX file that you've downloaded from https://mapstogpx.com/pokemon.php
Click on the Simulate gps icon again. You should see your new location in this list. Pick that one and start your Pokémon Go app. (Or the other way around, which one you prefer).
That's it! Have fun!
Final note: Don't teleport too far or too much. You'll risk a soft-ban!
