How to bot without getting PERMANENTLY banned (low xp/h)

[alexbaas]

So I've been botting on my account for 1 week already, DO NOT EXPECT 100K XP/H because this is not possible anymore!
Now I will tell you how my account has managed to survive for 1 week of botting:

1. Do NOT bot the WHOLE day like you could before the bans, just bot like a real person: 8 hours sleep a day, after playing 1 hour you will probably rest etc. (My settings are: play 1 hour, rest 45 mins, when I go to sleep I give it a rest of 8 hours and thats a whole day for me.)
2. Do NOT go faster than 15 km/h, I've tried many speeds on many accounts and many of my accounts with the settings above 15km/h got banned (this will also cause you to go over the daily pokestop limit). I've used a speed between 8km/h - 10 km/h

Now my account did SNIPE pokemons THE WHOLE WEEK! Niantic is NOT watching for sniping yet otherwise my account would be banned already. (I had 20k xp/h with sniping enabled and 30k xp/h without sniping using 8 km/h.)

I used Necrobot (v0.8.6) & this config (Sniping & Catches Pokemons which are cheap to evolve) which is an edited version of the
Dreamteam Config (New * improved 99%-100% iv team creator bot + location * high level * 50k-100K XP/H): Config Sniping /w catching - Pastebin.com (Use PogoLocationFeeder for sniping)
If you only want to snipe: Sniping Config - Pastebin.com (Use PogoLocationFeeder for sniping)
If you only want to catch: Only Catch - alexbaas - Pastebin.com
PogoLocationFeeder (Filters the Pokemons): PoGoLocationFeeder Filter - alexbaas - Pastebin.com

Bat for 1 hour play and 45 min rest (This will kill the procces automatic & start it automatic):

:start
start NecroBot.exe
timeout /t 3600
taskkill -f -IM "NecroBot.exe"
timeout /t 2700
goto :start

Bat for 8 hours rest & plays 1 hour:

:start
taskkill -f -IM "NecroBot.exe"
timeout /t 28800
start NecroBot.exe
timeout /t 3600
goto :start

Just put this in a text file and then change the format .txt to .bat

Some Pokemens & Candy on the account:


Exp/h with sniping & catch config:


I will keep you guys updated if I do get banned.

I've been doing pretty much the same thing. Set walking pace to 7 km/h, set a 10 second delay between actions, and set the bot to snipe 5 pokemon after 5 pokestops. Been doing this for 3 days now in increments of 3 - 4 hours and not banned so far.

Ye it seems to work for now

There is no such thing as a safe config because the information that is being send to Niantic will always be very bot-like data due to the API it uses.

I hope people would've understood this by now

Hi there
I used sniper for 3 accounts.Auto-Sniper caught rare pokemons in 3 hours. Then I have not used bot for my 3 accounts.I give my 2 accounts to my friends to play the game on their phones.2 weeks later I mean now , They all get banned. How or why they ban my accounts ? I just used sniper for 3 hours :/

[yukiepoke]

You are aware that Niantic will or have read this right? smh.

Bot or snipe will get you banned. Dont waste your time and electricity.

[Simply61]

Snipe cause us to get a ban however I don't think that we ll get banned if we use bot all the time.. Without getting a ban , a bot sofware/application can be written.

Why do people repeat this so much? Someone said it once and now everyone just jumps on it and uses it every chance they get


NO ONE knows what niantic looks for or if they will even look for that data, they might, they might not. No one knows, I wish this would stop until we know for sure.

there will always be a safe way to bot where it's not a 100% ban chance, like every other game out there (a game I currently bot that is like 90% ban 10% survive and I still make a ton of money from it),

just wait for the better bots to hit the scene in the next few weeks/months

Safe booting for me:
- Manual Snipe (not agressive)
- Walking speed 7km/h
- Bot running between 2 ~ 3 hours. A couple hours for a rest. Running it again for 2 ~ 3 hours again. So between that cycles I run the bot for 6 ~ 7 hours a day.
- NOT SNIPING Pokémon that are not available in my region
- Not running bot while I am sleeping.
- All human options enabled
- And of course use my phone to play legit sometimes.

I can spin pokestop and get items, but I cannot catch any pokemons. All of them just flee.

What type of ban is this and how do I resolve it?

[justalex]

Do you just bot and not log into the accounts with mobile?

Catchflee ban leave your account for 12 hours will resolve it.

i'll try this guide,, thanks

They flag your device (phone) fyi.
If you have an account you care about, and you have had other accounts flagged, and you've logged onto them with your handheld (smartphone), good luck. You're phone may as well be considered banned from Pokemon Go.
