When it first launched in 2016, Pokémon Go became an immediate global phenomenon. The augmented reality mobile game enabled players to catch Pokémon in the real world by walking around cities and neighborhoods. While the game encourages getting outside and walking, sometimes you just want to "fly" to a new location without physically being there.

Fortunately, there are a few different methods Pokémon Go players have figured out to spoof their GPS location and virtually fly to new spots. However, using these flying tricks judiciously is essential to avoid getting banned.

What Is Flying in Pokémon GO?

Flying in Pokémon Go means using a location spoofer to fake your phone's GPS coordinates and make it seem like you're in a different spot in the world. Spoofing your location allows you to catch Pokémon and get items from PokéStops and Gyms anywhere without having to go there physically.

Some key things to know about flying in Pokémon Go:

• Filling your coordinates requires a mock GPS location app or spoofing tool.
• Flying is against Niantic's Terms of Service and can get you soft-banned or permanently banned.
• On iOS devices, you'll need to jailbreak to spoof locations, while Android does not require rooting.
• Location spoofing apps can teleport you anywhere, but you should move at realistic speeds.

While flying in Pokémon Go is enticing, consider the risks and use any location spoofing responsibly and sparingly.

How to Fly in Pokémon GO on Android Devices

Android devices make it easier to fly in Pokémon Go without rooting. Here's how:

Method 1: Using GPS JoyStick

GPS JoyStick is a popular joystick-based spoofing app for Android. It lets you navigate and walk to any location easily.

Follow Steps Below:

1. Download and install GPS JoyStick from the Play Store or APKPure.
2. Enable Mock Locations in Developer Options on your phone.
3. Open GPS JoyStick, allow permissions, and select a location to spoof.
4. Use the joystick to navigate and play Pokémon Go with the fake GPS.

Method 2: Using Mock GPS

Mock GPS is an app that spoofs your location by allowing manual coordinate entry or map-based selection.

Follow Steps Below:

1. Get Mock GPS from the Play Store or APKMirror.
2. Go to Developer Options and enable Mock Locations.
3. Open Mock GPS, search for a location, and tap the play icon to spoof.
4. You can now catch Pokémon and spin Pokéstops at the fake location.

Method 3: Using Hola GPS

Hola GPS auto-walks and navigates between points for you. Good for routes and simulating movement.

Follow Steps Below:

1. Install Hola GPS from the Play Store or as an APK file.
2. Grant the required permissions and enable MOCK Locations.
3. Set your departure and destination points in the app.
4. Tap Start to begin walking. You can play Pokémon Go along the route.

Augmented Reality Flying

In Pokémon Go, using augmented reality (AR) technology is the most realistic way to fly. To fly in augmented reality:

1. Within Pokémon Go's settings, activate AR mode.
2. Open the game and switch to AR mode.
3. Intuitive hand gestures can be used to manage your flight.
4. Discover the world of Pokémon from a completely different angle.

The experience of flying in augmented reality is spectacular, giving you the impression that you are soaring with your favourite Pokémon. Although GPS spoofing allows more control, this approach offers a different and visually attractive way to play the game.

Don't Get Banned While Flying!

While flying in Pokémon Go does violate the rules, many clever players have found ways to do it without getting banned. You should wait a cooldown period before teleporting again after catching rare Pokémon. The key is moderation. Spoof judiciously, act locally, and avoid giant impossible leaps, and you'll lower your risk. Below are some key consideration to avoid getting banned:

1. Stay within one jump, or it will look suspicious. Move in smaller increments.
2. Set your spoofing app to a realistic walking pace of 6-7 km/hour max.
3. Enable routes and timers in your spoofing app to automatically move your location.
4. After teleporting far, wait 1-2 hours before interacting with PokéStop or Gym after teleporting to avoid soft bans.
5. Enable the spoofing app's settings, like timers and routes, to automatically move your location.
6. Avoid doing raids back-to-back at distant locations.
7. Don't take over tons of Gyms in a short span across large distances.

Deal With Any Pokémon GO Softbans

If caught flying recklessly, you may get soft-banned, where Pokémon flee and PokéStops go away for a period. Some ways to identify and deal with a softban:

Telltale Signs of a Softban

1. Pokémon will always run away, even low CP ones.
2. All PokéStops will be inaccessible and won't spin.
3. Gym battles end immediately after starting.

What to Do If Softbanned

1. It lasts 1-2 hours typically before lifting automatically.
2. Return to your actual location and stop all actions until the ban lifts.
3. Don't do anything suspicious during the softban period or risk a permanent ban.

Softbans are Niantic's warning to tell you to cool off the spoofing for a while. Exercise some restraint to avoid escalation.

Conclusion

Flying or teleporting in Pokémon Go breaks the official rules but can still be done carefully without punishment. The keys are moderation, mimicking realistic movement, and avoiding giant obvious leaps. Limit how often you spoof and how far you jump. While the temptation to go anywhere instantly is strong, restrain yourself and fly responsibly to keep catching them all!
