How to Use Fly GPS Joystick to Play Pokemon Go

Since the release of Pokémon Go, there have been more than hundreds of tools and apps that let you hack, modify, or cheat in the game. But the people over at Niantic have been very strict to keep the game free from hackers and cheaters, which is the reason why more than ninety percent of the Pokémon Go hacking tools, techniques, and apps are not working anymore.

Nevertheless, we have managed to find a working method for the Pokémon GO enthusiasts who are in search of a method to fake/spoof GPS location in Pokemon GO Gen 2 so they won’t have to roam around the city in search of the rare Pokémon, and finding PokéStop and gyms.

The app we are going to use here is known as Fly GPS with a joystick feature that does not require you to have a rooted Android device. However, it requires Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The step-by-step guide along with some additional usage tips are as follows:

What Can Fly GPS Do?

Fly GPS app will allow you to set a fake/spoofed GPS location in Pokémon GO so that you can take your character to virtually any location using a joystick controller while you are sitting in the comfort of your home.

The location spoofing app will give you an on-screen joystick functionality over the Pokémon GO app so that you can easily navigate/fly your Pokemon character around the area without going back and forth between the two apps to change/modify your location.

It is important to note here that the Fly GPS app is working perfectly fine with all the latest versions of Pokémon GO on Android. If you experience any issues then feel free to ask in the comments section. I will help you out. 🙂

Tips To Get The Most Out Of The Fly GPS App

The tips mentioned below will help you get the most out of the Fly GPS app without experiencing unexpected soft bans or any other issues while using the fake/spoof location in Pokémon Go.

Tip #1 – In case you are being relocated to your original location, then it has been suggested to turn off Wi-Fi on your device and use your Mobile/Cellular Data instead.

Tip #2 – Never try to teleport or fly far away from your original location in a short time period. Niantic servers keep track of your last location. And in case, you are suddenly relocated to somewhere far away from that original location then the move will be detected and Niantic will impose a soft ban on your account.

You must need to move/spoof your location realistically. Do NOT jump from one city to another within a matter of minutes. Play it safe. Use common sense. Or else, Niantic servers will detect your move and soft ban your account.

Tip #3 – In case, the Pokémon you are trying to catch is running away or fleeing, or the PokéStops are not giving you any item then it means your account has been soft banned.

Don’t panic, here’s what you could do:

1. Go to any nearby PokéStop and spin the wheel around 30 to 40 times until it again starts to give you items. Or,
2. You can wait for about 3 to 8 hours for Niantic to automatically lift the ban from your account.

Tip #4 – If you are still being relocated to your original location (also known as the “rubber band” effect), then here is another solution for you.

We have heard from various sources that wrapping the backside (specifically the GPS/WiFi module area) with 2 to 3 layers of aluminum foil will completely block the GPS signals and stop the app from teleporting you to your original location.

That’s all. We hope that the tutorial helped you with the configuration of the Fly GPS app on your Android phone. If you have any questions then let us know in the comments below. Our support team will help you. 🙂
