These are my tips/tools I have been using and I have yet to recieve a IP Ban/ Softban in a while now, thought I could post here and possibly help a few of you out. I will be sectioning this post with Botting and Sniping, go to whichever section applies to you!
Botting
- Use realistic/human settings for your bots. I have made a humanized NecroBot Config linked
here. Feel free to tweak the settings, just know if you are walking too fast/teleporting you will most likely be banned!
- Bot in your city, your city may not have the best PokeStops or Pokemon spawns, but this is another pre-caution you can take to lessen the risk of being banned
- DO NOT bot all night. This makes the risk of being banned higher! Leave your bot running for 1hr-3hr's at the most and then stop, wait a couple of hours and start again!
Sniping
- DO NOT AUTO SNIPE. This raises your risks of being banned very high as you are teleporting from coordinates to coordinates!
- Manually Snipe, find the Pokemon you want you can find tons of Pokemons on various websites/discords here are some of them (
100 IV Club Discord,
PokeSnipers)
- After manually sniping, to be safe wait between 1-5minutes in between snipers just as a safety measure.
- Only snipe things you need! A 100 Dratini is cool, but if you already have a Dragonite there is no point, dont get yourself banned for Pokemon you already have!
Note
Niantic is trying really hard to stop botting/snipers from the game, if you don't need to snipe/bot... simply don't for your own safety. Basically, just dont be too agressive with your bots/snipes and you should be good!
Good luck with botting/snipping everyone, hope this thread was semi-useful!
