I. Why players want AFK mode
For Pokémon GO players, AFK farming allows resource accumulation over long sessions without constant attention.
For spoofing players, if you can park your location in a rare spawn zone or an area with dense PokéStops, the system can auto-catch and auto-spin, maximizing daily gains.
II. Technical feasibility
-
Software spoofers (e.g., iPogo, PGSharp):
In theory, they can run auto-catch or Virtual Go Plus for long AFK sessions.
But risks include:-
App must stay active for long periods, increasing crashes or background termination.
-
If GPS drifts or app crashes, AFK is interrupted, requiring manual restart.
-
Long-term use of high-risk tools increases detection probability.
-
-
Hardware spoofers (e.g., iTools BT, Armate):
More stable, continuously sending GPS signals.
However, without built-in Virtual Go Plus, they require an extra auto-catcher device for true automation, adding complexity in device and connection management.
III. Risks and limitations
Niantic monitors abnormal activity, including long uninterrupted automation.
-
If AFK behavior shows fixed capture/spin patterns without human input, it may be flagged as bot-like, leading to shadowbans or black warnings.
-
Connection stability, Bluetooth power consumption, and device overheating also limit AFK duration.
IV. FlyMon
FlyMon is specially optimized for long AFK sessions:
-
Built-in Virtual Go Plus supports auto-catching and auto-spinning without extra devices.
-
Auto-reconnect instantly restores AFK mode after disconnection—no manual reconnection needed.
-
Cooldown timer helps avoid softbans when AFK across regions.
-
Hardware architecture ensures long-term stability, reducing crashes and GPS drift.
For spoofing players aiming for safe, long-term AFK, FlyMon offers an integrated design balancing efficiency and security.
