I. Starting from player choices
Spoofing players use a wide variety of tools: some rely on free software spoofers, others prefer stable hardware spoofers, and some combine multiple solutions.
Because each mode works differently, Niantic’s detection system sees them with very different levels of safety.
II. Three common modes
-
Software spoofers
Install modified apps or helper tools that alter GPS data.-
Pros: Feature-rich, easy to install.
-
Cons: Require sideloading or jailbreaking, high long-term risks, certificate expiration and app crashes are common.
-
-
Hardware spoofers
Devices like iTools BT, Armate, or FlyMon send GPS signals to the phone via Bluetooth, with the game only passively receiving the location.-
Pros: High security and stability, no game file modifications, unaffected by certificate issues.
-
-
Hybrid setups
Use both hardware spoofers and third-party apps or cheats together.-
Pros: Most powerful in features.
-
Cons: Each added tool introduces an additional detection risk point.
-
III. Risk comparison
-
Software spoofers directly modify game behavior → high risk.
-
Hardware spoofers are the safest option.
-
Hybrid setups, while flexible, require advanced knowledge and risk control. If even one component is detected, account safety is compromised.
IV. FlyMon
FlyMon adopts a hardware-based architecture, integrating location spoofing, joystick walking, teleportation, auto-catching, auto-spinning, cooldown timer, and auto-reconnect all into one device.
This reduces the need for risky third-party software, improving both convenience and safety compared to purely software-based solutions.
