I. Why players try this
Some Pokémon GO players like to use their main phone for active gameplay while running a tablet or backup phone for auto-catching.
Others even want to run different spoofing operations on two devices simultaneously.
The advantages seem clear:
-
Main device → for raids and chasing rares.
-
Secondary device → for stable AFK catching and PokéStop spinning.
But is this actually safe?
II. How Niantic views multi-device logins
From a technical perspective, Pokémon GO servers track account login location, IP address, and GPS signal sources.
-
Logging into the same account from two different places within a short time—especially long distances apart—is flagged as abnormal movement.
-
Frequently switching between different IPs or networks (e.g., one device on home Wi-Fi, another on 4G) may trigger abnormal activity alerts.
-
If GPS data and gameplay behavior differ significantly across devices, the system may suspect account theft or automation tools.
III. Situation with market tools
-
Pure software spoofers: Running modified apps on two devices simultaneously makes it very easy for the system to detect conflicts in location and behavior → very high risk.
-
Traditional hardware spoofers (iTools BT, Armate): Usually bind to a single device. Multi-device use requires extra hardware, which is complicated and error-prone.
-
Hybrid setups: For example, one device AFK with hardware spoofing, another chasing rares with software spoofing. Technically possible, but differences in IP and GPS signals dramatically increase risks.
IV. Actual risks
-
Softban: If locations differ too much, the system flags abnormal teleportation—Pokémon flee instantly, PokéStops yield nothing.
-
Shadowban / Black warning: Long-term conflicts or automation patterns detected → rare spawns reduced or fully blocked.
-
Account suspension: If the system concludes account sharing or cheating, the three-strike policy may escalate to stage 2 or 3 penalties.
V. FlyMon’s approach
FlyMon uses a hardware architecture that binds to a single device, avoiding multi-location login risks.
-
Centralized management: Location spoofing, joystick walking, auto-catching, auto-spinning, cooldown timer, and auto-reconnect all operate on one device—no need for multi-device setups.
-
Stable & safe: Avoids risky simultaneous logins and location conflicts.
-
Uninterrupted AFK: One device alone can handle both rare hunting and automated resource farming.
For spoofing players seeking long-term safety, consolidating everything into one secure device is far more reliable than multi-device syncing.
