[Guide] Avoid softban while "sniping" Pokemons (Nox App)
Hi all, just a short guide for those who dont already know.
If you snipe pokemon with sites like pokevision.com you can avoid the soft-ban after the GPS teleport.
1. Save your current GPS location, f.e. 40.764999, -73.973163 (Central Park, NY)
2. Press Ctrl + 3 and enter the location of the pokemon you want to catch, confirm with Ok , dont close the GPS window
3. Wait until the Pokemon spawns, click on the pokemon, wait for the catch screen and do nothing
4. go back to the GPS window and enter the first GPS location 40.764999, -73.973163, confirm with ok
5. catch the pokemon without a softban
6. repeat
I tested this in the whole New York area and it worked 100%
Edit: Check my new detailed guide click ([Guide] Avoid softban while "sniping" Pokemons (Nox App))
Edit2: i tested some long jumps from NY, Central Park to Los Angeles, Santa Monica Pier (about 4000km) and it worked.

Another fun little thing I did to circumvent soft-bans was making a "walk algorithm", it's pretty basic but after testing (I made the number of "steps" and the delay between "steps" customize able) it hasn't soft-banned me but im going to try leaving it running all night.
I'm considering just grabbing a GUI version and making a "walk to" feature.

Well, they changed anything on the softbans. Actually if i port like 1,5km away which worked before all the time without softban, now i get softban instantly lol dont know why...

Do you teleport to the new location then click on the pokemon, then teleport back to the original location, then capture it, or how does it work?

Port to the new location (Enter the GPS data, Press "Geocode", Press "Ok" in the bottom right)
Wait until your pokemon spawns (sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds), CLICK on the pokemon and wait until the catch screen is open, dont do anything here and go back to the GPS screen
Re-enter your old GPS location, Press "Geocode", Press "Ok" in the bottom right
Continue catching the pokemon, after you catch the pokemon you spawn at the first location without a softban

Worked fine for me.. make sure you don't move or interact with PokeStops when you port.
You also need to change the GPS after you click the Pokemon.
so..
1. Port to place (use scanner)
2. Don't move, wait for pokemon to pop up
3. Click pokemon
4. Ctrl + 3 Change GPS back to original
5. Catch Pokemon
6. You'll catch Pokemon and be back at your original spot not Softbanned.
I just used this to catch mr. mime, khangaskhan, and farfetch'd
thanks op

Yes, the whole point of OP's trick is to simply engage the Pokemon then port back.
If you engage a PokeStop while ported, the game recognizes you jumped too far, it's not the same case with Pokemon.
The game only checks if you've ported to far once you attempt to catch the Pokemon. So when the engage is open, you switch back, catch pokemon, game checks your co-ordinates.. thinks you didn't move.
You can then continue using PokeStops/Catching Pokemon at your original GPS location with no soft ban
For example if I teleport to London for Mr. Mime:
1. Teleport to London
2. DO NOT MOVE YOUR CHARACTER OR HIT ANY POKESTOPS
3. Wait for Mr. Mime, click him so he pops up
4. Immediately change your GPS back to original
5. Throw pokeball, catch him
6. You'll be back at your original GPS with the Pokemon.
hope i explained it well

Yes, you just can't move/interact with PokeStops. That's why OP said to use a scanner.
If the scanner says Pikachu is at 50.302, -30.391 (made up). If I teleport to those exact co-ordinates, Pikachu will appear right beside me. I don't have to move to make him appear.
Follow the rest of the steps and you can catch Pokemon anywhere without being soft banned

Hope this is not a repost
Maybe is a stupid question but... how I save my current GPS location?

What if you were to say,
Port to a place
catch a few mons
then on the last mon you want port back before you catch it?
