Niantic has however clamped down on many of these tools and apps and many of them (at least the ones that were there in the beginning) no longer work.
One of the ways players try to cheat the game is by spoofing GPS location to search for rare Pokémon by finding PokéStops and gyms that may not be in their area.
Fly GPS is one of the most popular Android tools to fake location. In this article, we take a look at Fly GPS and how it works.

How to Use Fly GPS to Play Pokémon Go
The Fly GPS app is very easy to use and it can allow you to quickly fake your location on Android. Follow these simple steps to use it:
Step 1: You will first of all need to download the Fly GPS app on your Android device from the Google Play Store.
Step 2: Once the app has been installed successfully, you will need to enable “Developer Mode” on your device before you can use this app to spoof your location.
To do that, go to Settings > About Phone and then tap on “Build Number” seven times or until you see a message that says “Developer Mode has been enabled.”
Step 3: The next step is to enable mock locations. To do that, go to Settings > Developer Options > Tap Mock Location App and then select “Fly GPS” as the app that you would like to use.
Step 4: Turn on Location or GPS on your device. You can do that in the device’s settings. You should also make sure that “Location History” is turned on.
Step 5: Now open Fly GPS and you should see your current location on a map. The app will allow you to choose a fake or spoofed location for the device by tapping on any area near you.
Note: It is very important to choose a location that is in your current location radius. If you choose a location that is unrealistic, Niantic may ban your account.”
Step 6: Once you have chosen the location, tap on the “please select the menu” popup that appears.
Step 7: In the next popup, choose the option that says, “GPS Service Run”.
Step 8: Then choose “Joystick Location Mode – (Pokémon).” You will now have successfully spoofed your location and even enabled the joystick mode for Pokémon Go.
Just open Pokémon and your character will now be in the location you had set up earlier.
