Niantic changed the way that PokemonGO authenticates with the Google service which stopped supporting the OAuth service that FeroxRev's PokemonGO API was using. If you have security concerns over using your Google account for this, then create a PTC account or look through the source code yourself and compile the program yourself.
Please refer to Necro's response below. Other bots who share the same API have chimed in too: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongobotting/comments/4v3v8y/PokeMobBot_security_warning/d5vvgy9?st=ir81ibx9&sh=e2e5baff
Your account has been soft banned because your account has traveled too far to too short of a time window. The length of the soft ban depends on the distance that you traveled which can be anywhere from 5 mins to 3 hours. Check your new location every 30 minutes until you can successfully catch Pokemon again.
Set StartupWelcomeDelay to false. This setting is default to true to prevent people from locating to the wrong locations by mistake.
Yes! Only if you turn off Location services or GPS on your device while the PokemonGO app is in use. Otherwise, you will be soft-banned by Niantic. With GPS turned off, you will only be able to manage your Pokemon and items, but it is better than nothing. You will not be able to spin Pokestops or catch Pokemon in the app.
When I try to build the source code, I receive a "One or more projects were not loaded correctly" error
You must download the Rocket API release ZIP file and extract it into the Necro-bot directory. Follow steps #2-4 again
Create different directories that each have their own installation and run each of their .exe. If you plan to create a script that runs them, make sure the current working directory in your console is the root of each PokeMobBot's installation.
When I launch the .exe after setting my configurations, the app immediately crashes and displays a bunch of JSON reference exceptions
If you see a screen similar to below and your log file only has Initializing Rocket logger at time, then your config.json or auth.json file has a typo. Scrolling up in the console window will show the exact parsing error on the first line.

Delete the GoogleRefreshToken value from the /Auth.JSON file from the Configs directory. Also, make sure that you are logged into the Google account in your default browser.
After I paste my device code into google.com/device, Necro-Bot logs into the wrong account. How do I log into the right account?
Necro-Bot opens the google.com/device URL in your default browser and based on your cookies, it may select a different account than you expect. Make sure the browser that you type the code into is logged into the correct account.
Every 5th PokeStop it spins.
As long as you are under 20 kph, the eggs will hatch automatically when they are ready to hatch. There is no indication in the bot to show hatches. To incubate an egg, you must log into the app. The bot may auto-incubate eggs in the future.
Set useLuckyEggsWhileEvolving to TRUE in the settings. By default, this is set to FALSE.
Open the app on your device with location turned off (to prevent a soft ban) and manually trigger the item. This may change in the future with a feature.
Set UsePokemonToNotCatchFilter to TRUE and add the Pokemon to your Config/ConfigPokemonsNotToCatch.ini file
In order to prevent the inventory from getting too full, the bot will automatically recycle items based on the values defined in the Config/ConfigItemList.ini file.
Any Pokemon that meets the below criteria is transferred:
- Total number of that pokemon species in your invetory is greater than KeepMinDuplicatePokemon
- Below the KeepMinIVPercentage value
- Below the KeepMinCP value
- Is not listed in your ConfigPokemonsToKeep.ini config file
- If
KeepPokemonsThatCanEvolveset toTrue, you will keep a number of that species based on the number of candies you have. See the below FAQ entry.
Why do I receive the "(ATTENTION) PokemonInventory is Full. Transferring Pokemon's..." error over and over?
If you have KeepPokemonsThatCanEvolve set to True and EvolveAllPokemonWithCandy set to False, the bot may have no way to transfer the massive amounts of Pokemon it is hording based on the number of species candies you have.
This can also occur if KeepPokemonsThatCanEvolve set to True and EvolveAllPokemonWithCandy set to True, but your PokemonsToEvolve list does not include the Pokemon that is filling your inventory that you have a ton of candies for since PokeMobBot will never evolve the Pokemon.
For example, if you have 600 Pidgey candies, the bot will keep 50 Pidgey's in your inventory before it will start transferring.
When a Pokestop is lured a Pokemon spawns on an interval, PokeMobBot can see what Pokemon will spawn, but it may not have spawned yet due to the interval. If the interval hasn't expired, you will get the pre-mentioned error message.
Effectively this can be ignored.
I have so many candies for one Pokemon and I want to use them for experience farming. How do I do that?
- Set
KeepPokemonsThatCanEvolvetotrue - Set
EvolveAllPokemonWithCandytotrue - Add the Pokemon to evolve to your PokemonsToEvolve list
Every time PokeMobBot evolves, it will evolve as many of that Pokemon limited based on the number of Pokemon and candies that you have.
If your console looks like in the image, the servers in that area are unstable. Try a different location or try again later.
One of your Config Files has a typo.
We are using a Humanizer, doesn't spam the Servers & hopefully will help in a ban wave
Here is a Reddit post that will explain it all.
Right here.
Visit https://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm, this website will help you out!
Change the delimiter for lat/long within the .gpx file or config file from comma to period or vice versa
Set UsePokemonToNotCatchFilter to true in config.json and add the values from the below PasteBin to your PokemonsToIgnore in your config.json file in the Config directory:

I received an "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." exception during runtime
If you receive the below exception, this could indicate that the Pokemon GO servers may be unstable or that your internet connection is unstable. Try again later.
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Navigate to the Translations folder in your PokeMobBot installation directory and that should show a list of files of the different languages it supports.
