Pokemon Go encourages players to go out into the world and capture a variety of small pocket monsters using their mobile smart phones; However, the game can also get competitive and these tips can help you stay ahead. Whether you need to catch a Pokémon that's not in your geographic region or can't bear waiting for an event to complete, we've got you covered.

Note: Cheating is not advised by the creators of Pokemon Go and some cheats, such as location spoofing, may cause your account to become banned. Please proceed with caution.

1. Spoof Your Pokemon Go Location
Pokemon Go is a location-based mobile game, which means that depending on your geographic location, some Pokemon may or may not be available. As a result of this limitation, some gamers have resorted to what is known as GPS location or spoofing in which they trick their device into thinking it is somewhere it is not.

  1. Download Fake GPS Go from the Google Play Store.

  2. Open the Settings app on your Android device.

  3. Scroll down to the About phone section and select it — this option may be located under the System menu depending on your model phone.

  4. Tap the displayed Build number seven times for your device to be placed in developer mode.

  5. Now, select the Developer options menu item that appears.

  6. Selectthe Select mock location app option, and select Fake GPS Go.

  7. Lastly open the Fake GPS Go app and select the location you would like to spoof.

  8. You are now ready to play Pokemon Go at your chosen location!

2. Skipping Pokemon Go Animations
Sometimes you just don't have time to sit and watch all the animations present in the Pokémon Go application; after all, you could be catching Pokémon instead of just sitting. Follow these steps to skip the raid, capture, and evolution animations in Pokémon Go.

SKIP THE CATCH ANIMATION

  1. Tap the Pokemon you want to catch as you normally would.

  2. With your other hand, use a finger to swipe from right to left at the bottom of the screen — leave your finger remaining in the left corner, and do not remove it.

  3. Throw the Poke ball as you normally would.

  4. Remove your finger from the left corner as the Poke ball hits the Pokemon.

  5. Tap the screen to exit the Poke Ball menu, then tap the Run icon in the top-left to complete the catch, while bypassing the catch animation.

  6. Check to see if you have successfully captured the Pokemon, if not, try again.

SKIP THE RAID ANIMATION

  1. Create an empty team for the raid.

  2. Join the raid you wish to take part in.

  3. Pick the empty team you had created earlier.

  4. Wait for the raid to start. Once it beings, you will be prompted to pick your real raid team — this bypasses the normal Raid animation screen.

3. Easily Kick Pokemon From Gyms
If you have some friends with you, it is possible to remove any Pokémon from a gym. Nothing can stop you and your friends with this onboard hack. Just know that this is a powerful trick, so exercise your power responsibly and with caution.

  1. Begin your gym battle with two other friends, making three total players.

  2. Have both Player 1 and Player 2 drop-out immediately, and allow the Player 3 to continue battling.

  3. Have both Player 1 and Player 2 join a new gym battle.

  4. Have Player 1 drop-out immediately and allow the Player 2 to continue battling.

  5. Have Player 1 join a new gym battle.

  6. Have every player finish their battles. Due to the way Pokemon Go handles gym battles, the Pokemon in question will be dealt with considerably more damage, allowing you to remove it from the gym.

4. Jump Forward in Time
Do you need to get ahead in time to complete a task or just can't wait to pick up your next raid pass? One option is to manually advance the date and time of your phone within the settings. Follow these steps to easily change the date on your phone and get what you need in less time.

Change Time on iPhone: Settings > General > Time & Date

Change Time on Android: Settings > More > Date and Time

5. Locate Pokemon With Online Trackers

Don't have time to locate where a specific Pokémon might appear on the map? Use free online trackers to keep an eye on the surrounding area and find out the status of gyms, raids and other events that appear around you.

Our top recommendation for such a website is PokeHuntr, followed by Pokemon Go Map, but you can also find your own options by searching with your favorite search engine.
