I. Why do people look for free tools?
For players who are new to Pokémon GO spoofing, the first concern is often not functionality but cost:
“Is there a way to do this without spending money?”
Indeed, you can find many so-called free location-modifying or spoofing apps online. At first glance, they seem simple—just download and install, no need to purchase hardware.
II. Free options on the market
Most free software-based spoofers are modified apps or simple GPS-changing tools.
Some can even simulate joystick movement, and a few include virtual Go Plus functions for auto-catching and PokéStop spinning.
These apps are typically installed via sideloading (AltStore, Sideloadly) or through third-party signing services.
III. Common drawbacks of free tools
Although they don’t cost money, the “price” often shows up in other ways:
-
Instability – Frequent crashes, GPS drift, and worse performance during event peak times.
-
Low security – Requires sideloading or jailbreaking, with risks of certificate revocation or account detection.
-
Maintenance issues – Updates are slow; when the game version changes, you may wait days or longer before tools work again.
-
Limited functionality – Some may include auto-catching, but features are separated from location spoofing, requiring extra devices or software.
IV. Why these drawbacks are critical
In Pokémon GO, events and rare spawns are time-limited and scarce.
Any delays or instability could cause you to miss key opportunities.
And the security risk is even more severe—once your account is shadowbanned or suspended, all your past progress may be lost.
