Safe Botting - Avoiding the BanHammer - Amoural - Sep 8, 2016
For a few weeks now I have been working on botting without bans. I used to get accounts to level 25-30 with sniped pokemon running human configs with about a 10-20% ban rate. Human config being randomized movement speed earning somewhere around 10-20k xp an hour. After a few weeks I dropped the ban rate to 0% by doing a few things.
1. Bot a uncommon location.
Everyone runs bots in the "hotspots" with large amounts of rare pokemon and pokespots, but why? just run the bot on a college campus/capital of some state with a decent number of pokestops. I run my bot in atlanta for a few reasons, this is one of them.
2. Bot a location that matches the IP
The other reason I bot in atlanta is because my proxies are based out of atlanta. Looks pretty odd if the IP from middle of fucking nowhere kansas has a location in central park. Botting the same area as the IP makes you even safer
3. Don't bot all day.
Keep your botting periods reasonable. I didn't feel like manually doing that so i just run a batch file to do the delays for me.
Code
@ECHO OFF
:A
set /a BOT=%random% %% 21600 + 3600
START botnamehere.exe
TIMEOUT %BOT%
TASKKILL /F /IM botnamehere.exe
set /a NOBOT=%random% %% 21600 + 3600
TIMEOUT %NOBOT%
GOTO AI think everyone knows this one, but just make sure you change your device ID on the bot as you rotate accounts.
I would stop botting once you hit 25-30, I haven't really tried botting past 30. If anyone has any experience with ban rates botting past 30 let me know, I am interested in that kind of data.
Now lets get back to botting this dead game.

Sorry to tell you this, but they haven't banned anyone in nearly 2 weeks.
When they were banning, I had people test IP vs location. Made no difference. Hitting the limits and gaining too much exp within a short period seemed to be the major cause. Bans appeared halfway through the 20s, and rarely appeared below that.

Damn I really thought I figured this out ðŸ˜
Guess we wait until the next banwave.

That's not true I was banned 2-4 days ago or something like that.

Does it say that on a bot or the official app? Sometimes that app will give you "unable to authenticate" for reasons other than a ban.

well, i don't run my bot too much, i am at level 22 and i have only been running the bot so often for the last 2 weeks, i have a hotspot set for catching. I will tell you all when i get banned, if i do. I think they are waiting to do a major ban wave or they are looking into a new way of catching bots!
