I am not aware of any system (map or bot or whatever) that is not getting shadowbanned at the moment, including PF. Every map I've seen or used has the same issue of the accounts getting banned after a few hours or days.

I'm kind of surprised development of the bots is even still going on currently, quite honestly. But I do hope that they find a way around the "red slash" and getting banned. For me, every single pokemon that I caught with PF ended up getting the red slash. I always kept my settings...

This is not meant to present an argument for not using the software, just to make the community aware of what can happen if they choose to. Good communication is the key to happy customers.

I've always said it's not about save vs unsafe...if you're botting, you're not safe regardless of what app you use. It's cheating and we all know it, and we should all be OK with it. However, letting the community know when there's a problem (like currently) seems fair. That way people know...

There are certain mods and/or community managers (not sure if they are here still or not)....that 100% guaranteed that PF was safe all through the last few months. And I 100% agree that no one should bot on an account they truly care about losing, I have no problem with it myself. Clearly it...

Niantic isn't banning all of the PF accounts...it's striking the pokemon with the red slash of shame. It makes them useless in gyms, you can't evolve them etc. I'm perfectly fine with "limitations" of botted accounts. But PF should be straightforward with this info now that it's apparently...

It's safe as long as you like red slashes!

Hate to say I told you so to Bossland....but yeah, all of our moms caught with PF have the slash. All those months of guaranteeing they didn't miss anything...lol. Anyway...we have a bunch of nice trophies with red slashes now I guess. All three accounts that I ever used PF with, EVERY...

Regardless of what people say, no one knows how to "not get caught". Clearly though, Niantic currently knows how to detect it. I think if you use PF or any third party tool right now, expect the consequence of a shadowban very quickly. It may or may not go away...so far the shadowban seems to...

Niantic is on top for now...wait it out until someone figures out how to be safe again. They're trying to crack down on spoofing, botting, and other forms of cheating before they release the next big update.

Don't bot? I mean really...if you're just botting for XP...why does it matter if it's a pidgey or a sentret? You want rares? Don't bot. I think we can all agree that if you care about your account long term right now, wait to bot after they figure out the shadowban. You know niantic is...

This is funny. No, botting for the past few months was riskier than we knew (apparently, since now everyone is shadowbanned). Niantic has been tracking who has botted and they threw a switch two days ago and started hiding pokemon from the people they warned. It's no riskier today than it was...

It may not be PF...it could be an IV checker. But Niantic 100% has a way to identify bots now, whether by behavior or repetitive scans, or whatever they are doing. Most of the scanners are going down quick right now...just a matter of time before people find another way around it I guess. But...

You bot with the account on PF? Obviously they noticed that. Hard to say when they will lift the blocking of the rare pokemon...maybe never for all we know? This is a brand new thing, it will take a few days/weeks to see what happens next. I am sure people are already creating new bots that...
