A Pokmon GO spoofer is a tool or app that attempts to play a player's GPS location, allowing them to appear in stand-in places on the game map without physically traveling.

Some players use spoofers to catch region-exclusive Pokmon, link vague raids, or entry special events. However, using spoofing software violates Pokmon GO's Terms of help and can outcome in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent account bans. Because of these risks, players who want to keep their accounts safe are generally augmented off playing within the game's rules
