Should I run the tutorial on a new account first?

[mcnade]

When I make a new account is it reccomended to run through the tutorail, pick a name and first pokmone? or should I just attempt to bot from the start

I would say do not use the account on your phone until you are done botting.

The bot tells the server you are on a specific android device , so if you keep switching between the bot device id and your actual phones id , this will flag it. This is the way they are banning Nox players , the constant changing of device ids between the emulator and your phone.

That's what I figured, thanks!

There's no hard prove, that this actually helps vs ban. But my logic tells me, to complete the tutorial first. Simply because it's suspicious, if an account has not accepted the TOS ingame, not completed tutorial, has no name, but already has tons of Pokemon and XP.
It's a one time DeviceID swap at most, if you don't bother entering your Phones ID into the bot. That shouldn't get you banned. Or wait some hours between tutorial & bot begin.

Unless they have a way of seeing if players accept the TOS then i dont see how accepting it before you play will change anything , as far as every game is concerned, if you dont accept the TOS, you dont play so they would not need a check for that, you must have accepted it because your playing it.

No one knows for sure how they are working the bans but it seems even a one time GPS swap is enough , so we can only assume so is a one time sudden device swap.

The bot sees your name as being your account name, so again, unless they have a check to see if an actual name has been entered after you accept the TOS then it should be safer than a sudden switch in devices used.

Its all guess work, i have no idea how they are banning people, i can only think how i would do it, things like GPS location changes, device changes, the amount of pokestops used in a certain amount of time, how fast you evolve Pokemon one after another, how fast you are going, how much experience you earn in a certain time period and how fast you get to level 20.

I would think they made a very simple flagging system that puts accounts into a blacklist if location of login 1 is X miles away from 2nd logging in location, within a Y period of time. Since GPS on phones can either be working, or not working; and no "my phones GPS accidentally thought I was in another country" excuses, this is the most logical method that is most likely used. From there they further evaluate the blacklist etc. etc.

Now, the safest bet I would take, would be to complete the tutorial on your phone, wait 24 hours, then start botting anywhere you want. I am actually testing this method myself and seeing if its a possibility. I would assume this method, along with human like bot configs and killswitches, make the bot unstoppable... I will post my results whether it works or not.

P.S. Remember, all it takes is one time logging in your bot in central park, then an hour later logging onto your phone in Idaho because "you want to see your pokemon" to flag your account.
