Can spoofers safely trade Pokémon in Pokémon GO?

I. Want to trade but not in the same city

In Pokémon GO, trading with friends is an important way to complete your Pokédex, pursue high IVs, or obtain Shinies.
But trading has one hard limit—both players must be within 40 km of each other.

For spoofers, this seems easy to solve: just teleport near the friend and start trading.
However, in practice, trading safety and stability involve more than just “getting to the same location.”


II. Pokémon GO trading rules and hidden conditions

Beyond the distance limit, trading also requires:

  • Both players online at the same time.

  • Position sync and stable GPS signals.

The game constantly compares both players’ real-time positions. If one player’s GPS drifts, disconnects, or lags too much, the trade can fail.

Also, if you teleport to your friend’s location before your cooldown ends, even if the interface shows trading is possible, the trade may fail mid-process—or traded Pokémon may not display correctly afterward.


III. Value and gameplay of trading

Trading isn’t just transferring Pokémon—it has several key mechanics:

  • Rerolling IVs: A traded Pokémon’s IVs are randomized. A low-IV Legendary could become 100% IV after trading.

  • Lucky Pokémon: Trades have a chance to yield Lucky Pokémon, which require half the Stardust to power up. With Best Friends, the first trade almost always results in a Lucky.

  • Completing the Pokédex: Regionals or event-limited Pokémon can often only be obtained via trading.


IV. Spoofing trades – feasibility and risks

Spoofing for trades is possible, but risks mainly involve:

  • Position sync: GPS drift can easily exceed the 40 km limit, causing the trade screen to vanish.

  • Cooldown management: Teleporting too far and trading before cooldown ends may flag the action as abnormal.

With software spoofers, unstable GPS signals make this problem worse.


V. Veteran players’ safe trading methods

Experienced spoofers typically:

  • Teleport to the target location and confirm cooldown has ended before trading.

  • Choose low-interference areas to reduce GPS drift issues.

  • Pause briefly between multiple trades, giving the system time to update positions and status.

This helps avoid abnormal detections or failed trades.


VI. FlyMon’s advantages

FlyMon’s hardware-based spoofing keeps positions stable, minimizing GPS drift to ensure smooth trades.

  • Built-in cooldown timer accurately indicates when it’s safe to trade.

  • Joystick walking lets you move locally while waiting for cooldown.

  • Auto-catching and auto-spinning allow you to keep farming resources while waiting.

For spoofers, this means safer trades without unnecessary risks—maximizing every opportunity to chase perfect IVs or Lucky Pokémon while staying secure.
