Can spoofers participate in cross-region raids in Pokémon GO? What should they watch out for?

I. The lure of rare raids

When Pokémon GO introduces a new Legendary, a limited Shiny, or hosts Raid Days, many players want to do as many raids as possible.

For spoofers, cross-region raiding is especially tempting—

You can hop between the world’s hottest raid spots.
You can take advantage of time zones to chain raids in multiple regions.

In theory, this means doing far more raids in one day than local players.
But while cross-region raiding sounds simple, it actually comes with hidden risks.

II. Raid types and rules

Pokémon GO raids fall into two categories:

Local (on-site) raids – You must be physically at the gym and enter the lobby with other players.
Remote raids – You can join via a friend’s invite or Remote Raid Pass, across any distance, but timing must still be correct.

The game checks your real-time location during matchmaking, especially for on-site raids.
If you teleport across regions before cooldown ends, the system will flag this as abnormal, often blocking you from joining.

III. Feasibility and risks of cross-region spoofing for raids

Cross-region raiding is possible, but only if cooldown and GPS stability are handled properly.

If you teleport from one region to another and are still on cooldown:
- You may enter the battle lobby,
- But during the capture phase afterward, the Pokémon will flee instantly.
With software spoofers, GPS drift can cause:
- Disconnection during entry.
- The game believing you’ve left the gym range—instantly ending the raid.

IV. Safe strategies from experienced players

Veteran spoofers usually:

Calculate cooldowns before teleporting, ensuring they can raid immediately upon arrival.
Plan raid schedules by time zone and location order to minimize downtime.
Prefer joining via remote raid invites for cross-region raids, since this avoids teleportation to gym sites—removing cooldown risks entirely.
