    Commonly Asked Questions....

    I've been viewing these forums for a while and I see the same repeated questions time and time again. So I figured it is time to give a FAQ style post that covers most of the basics. If you are an active user and know what you are doing with your bot then don't bother reading this as it may bore you to tears.


    ----------------------------Account/Niantic Questions----------------------------

    Question: Will Niantic ban me for using a bot?
    Most likely, for how long or what will be done is unknown at this time. Rest assure absolutely NOBODY has been perm banned for anything on pokemon go. So any friends or "friends" that you've heard/read/saw/claimed to be permbanned is full of crap. Moving on

    Question: When will Niantic ban us?
    Nobody really knows, its all speculation right now and frankly lets be real here for a few seconds...

    You are bending their TOS to benefit yourself in a manner that is impossible by any human method.

    Let that sink in for a minute. So really who cares? What is it going to change? it takes the fun out of it by worrying about something you've done. Nobody put a gun to your head and said "hey you better use this bot OR ELSE!" it was your choice. So as the saying goes...if you can't do the time don't do the crime. Or if you are scared to lose your precious account you've worked so hard for (you know cause walking from the USA to Australia to pick up that rare pokemon is brutal on the legs ) then play the game correctly without botting.

    Question: All the pokemon flee and I'm not getting any items at the pokestops what is going on? Did Niantic perm-ban me?
    You are soft-banned. You need to either wait between 10 mins - 12 hours or use a bot/quickspin to unban yourself. Niantic at the time of this post has not banned anyone permanently. Calm Down

    ----------------------------Pokemon Questions----------------------------


    Question: I need (insert pokemon name here)
    There are a few ways you can do this. You can get a sniper bot here -> Pokemon GO Hacks|Cheats or you can take the cords from a discord room and plug them into your bot and go hunt the manual way. I personally do it the manual way as I've found better pokemons by just letting the bot run sometimes on some random cords I found on discord.

    Question: Ok I have a sniper bot and I tried it the manual way but I can't find any of these wtf is going on?
    Ok, relax, you realize how many people are playing this game all at once? There are many factors that go into getting the right pokemon at the right time. It boils down to pure luck. I've personally done it the manual way and I'd say I'm at about 80% with fairly decent results.

    Question: What are good spawning cords? Best pokemon Locations? Most Pokemon Locations?
    Strictly my 2 cents here; there are none. Now don't go crazy, there are definitely better places out there. For example, my local area is decent, has around 40 pokestops, a good amount of pokemon travel through the area. Now compare that to Time Square? or Central Park? There is absolutely no contest.

    Question: So how do you find all the good pokemons?
    Time! Patience! I do something like this

    Open Quickspin with my new gps cords, I run it before I even bother logging in with the bot cause I know it is going to soft-ban me.

    Quickspin runs and I'm unbanned, now I open my bot with those same cords and let it run for a few hours. Usually overnight as I'm sleeping or at college. Go back to the bot and stop it. With the bot I use (Spegeli) I go to export (PokemoGoBot-GottaCatchEmAll-master\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\Export) and open the csv file. This lists all my pokemon with

    PokemonID, Name,NickName,Level,CP / MaxCP,IV Perfection in %,Attack 1,Attack 2,HP,Attk,Def,Stamina,Familie,Candies,IsInGym,IsFavorite,previewLink

    This is where I do my hard work and figure out which pokemon to keep and which to transfer. Once I've done that, I then get new gps cords and use quickspin again and wash, rinse, repeat. When I'm done botting and I want to go out in the local area and catch pokemons I just type in my regular gps cords into quickspin and boom I'm unbanned again.

    One thing to note about this....PLEASE....PLEASE.....PLEASE....PLEASE!!!! Don't be that dick that fights gyms if you botted. That is like racing someone in an 18 wheeler and you are driving a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (257.87 mph or 415 km/h) . Let the legit players have fun with their gyms.

    Question: WTF! This bot just transferred out my highest CP/IV! How is this even possible?!?
    I can not stress this enough, check your settings before starting any bot EVER. I've been there done that (Dratini 100% IV got replaced with a 55% IV cause I had transfer when IV is higher then CP to false) Yeah it is painful but take a moment, relax, deep breath and triple check your settings.

    Another way to avoid this is use the pokemon don't transfer lists. Most good bots have those. I use both just to make sure nothing crazy happens.

    Question: What matters more CP or IV?
    The easiest way to explain this is like so....

    You can have 2 Dragonites, One has a CP of 4000 and an IV of 75, the other has a CP of 3000 and an IV of 96. The one with the higher IV will most likely win. Of course there are plenty of other things that matter as well not just IV. Moveset matters a lot as you can have a 90+% IV and if their moveset sucks they are basically a weakling as a lower IV with a better moveset can usually beat them.

    ----------------------------GYM Questions----------------------------


    Again please please please do not bot an account and go fight at the gyms. Be fair and let the kids have their fun. Or do what I do...have 2 accounts!


    Question: I go out and catch pokemon and stop at pokestops fine but I can't fight at gyms? Every time I go to the gym it lets me get just up to battling then says ERROR! What gives?
    This is just a bug honestly, there is no way around it that I personally have found. When I play on my legit account it has happened to me when a gym is really busy. I've tried signing out and signing back in, rebooting the phone, hard resetting the phone, shutting off location, putting it in airplane mode then turning it back onto normal mode, and nothing seems to work. Sadly I haven't found a work around or anything to avoid/prevent this.

    Question: Sometimes I'm fighting a gym and their mon is down to 1HP and will not die until I hit it with a special attack, why is this happening?!?
    It is another bug they claimed to fix last update but it still creeps up from time to time.

    Question: Why do I see gyms that have all 1500 and up CP pokemons and then there is a 34 CP pokemon? What is the point of the 34 CP pokemon?
    he is actually there to help build up the gym faster, When you battle your own gym if you defeat the first pokemon then runaway (or let them kill you) and your CP is lower then the highest pokemon. That gym's prestige skyrockets sometimes up to 800 xp!

    If you see this on an enemies gym you can attack them and just kill the 1st pokemon then run away and repeat it until the 1st one is killed off. While it doesn't make the gym change hands it stops it from getting higher prestige faster.

    Question: Best Attacker of Gyms? How about best Defender? What about when you are trying to train?
    These have a tendencies to change depending on how people figure out the numbers. What I've seen works best is

    Attacking: Lapras, Snorlax, Alakazam, Victreebel, Vaporeon, Exeggutor, Arcanine & Dragonite
    Defending: Snorlax, Lapras, Alakazam, Slowbro, Dragonite, Exeggutor, Vaporeon, Golduck, & Clefable
    Training: Wigglytuff, Golem, Parasect, Vaporeon, Blastoise, Golduck, Omastar, Starmie, Arcanine, & Charizard
