IV Checking against ToS?

[networker91]

Hy,
I have used bot for about a week now, and i'm still evaluating it is it safe to use it on my main account.
Almost everything that bot does seems ok, except displaying correct IV's.
I mean, every thing can be represented as a real person using a pokemon go client, except that.

Displaying correct IV requires data mining Niantic servers which cant be represented as a real pokemon go client.
and Pokefarmer does this for every single pokemon caught, and every time you login into game.
Thus i believe this makes it automatically flagged.

Is it possible to disable using IV withing the client, only to work with appraise system, or something else?

You really don't need to worry about IV. IV values are calculated with values we get from the servers anyways. The real client just don't calculate or display them.

The appraisal system gives you a very accurate estimate of what the Pokemon's IV actually is, that's it's entire purpose. If you go off of that in-game, you can easily discard lower IV Pokemon very quickly, so doing the same with PF is not a flag for anything.
