Every Pokemon keep escaping from captures

AsakuraB opened this issue 8 years ago · 13 comments

I've been using this project to change my location from China to Sydney and New York catching pokemons. But after 2 days hard work and 100+ pokemons collection, it seems that I can't catch any more pokemons. Everytime I throw a pokeball to a pokemon, even those easiest ones, they escape at once.
I found a similar situation from http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/274044/why-do-pok%C3%A9mon-keep-escaping-from-captures .
Dose anyone else have same situation here? Or dose anyone know why this happens and what can I do?

Could you please tell us how to run the readAndChangeXML.py and create the pokemonLocation.gpx file please?

You are soft banned.
Don't try to change your location from China to Sydney and New York.
The program automatically detects your GPS spoofing and you will be banned for a few hours.
If you wish to spoof it, log out, delete the Go, and spoof it first beforehand.

@kwstasna just follow README.md step by step, it's pretty clear.

@puttichan it turns out that some others have same situation with me once they move from one location to another too fast using GPS spoofing.

@AsakuraB This is really common soft ban for people who are spoofing their GPS.
But who cares? You don't really get banned if you carefully use them.

Pokestop seems unresponsive and pokemons keep getting away. think they might have implemented a security feature to avoid GPS spoofing.

Nothing is working anymore, I wonder if they did not implement a mechanism to ban spoofers :/

I am not able to see any Pokemon appear even I "stand" right in the middle of the circle. Tried for different places..I wonder this method can still working now...

@neospio
This method is just to fake you location of your IOS device. The easiest way to test is seeing if your location in google map is same with your controller.

You're soft-banned because you faked the gps data and made huge jumps from China to Sydney to New York: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rtee1/massive_glitch_every_single_pokemon_runs_away/

I hope this only lasts a few hours ;) Maybe better to add this to the readme?

@ysrotciv This method DO faked my location to wherever I want in the world, I can even "walk" through different streets from US to Australia while I am sitting in front of my mac. But the pokemon just won't appear using this method.:(

@neospio
I guess you're banned.

Answer 13 · 2016-07-15T08:55:40.000Z

@neospio it's just network problem. Wait for a minute and pokemons will appear.

For all,
I've been released from this "soft banned" after a few hours waiting.

For reference only,
I went offline from New York and get online in Sydney after 3-4 hours, no more soft banned happend. And Sydney is MUCH MORE bustling than New York, especially near the Opera House.
