Pokemon GO made its grand entry into the world in 2016. It hit the app stores and social media platforms with a frenzy and instantly became viral. The hype around Pokemon GO increased to such a level that people with no knowledge of Pokemon started playing the game as well.

Culturally, it's a significant game because it is the first successful mobile game based on AR. It opened up the market and the users for more AR-based applications, and the number of people playing Pokemon GO has only increased ever since its release.

Even though it is a great game, it requires the user to walk around a lot, and often, to no avail. After the initial fun hours of walking and getting immersed in the fantasy of becoming the best Pokemon trainer, the game starts to get more cumbersome with advanced levels. At this point, users find themselves frustrated, and many of them turn to spoofing.

Spoofing is a way to sneak around the issues mentioned above and ensure steady progress in the game. Spoofing allows a user to fake his GPS location to go to raids, gyms, and more powerful Pokemon. Here's how to pick a fake GPS joystick for Pokemon GO.

iTools

ThinkSky's iTools is a top-rated iPhone app. It offers dozens of highly useful features beyond virtual locations and allows you to get the most out of your iOS device. Most importantly, you can use it to manage and spoof your location without any hitch.

One of the most significant advantages of using this app is that jailbreaking your device for this app is not compulsory. However, its disadvantage overshadows its benefit by a long shot. To use this app, you will require a desktop.

That's right, iTools is not available on the app store. It is a desktop application. So, to use iTools for spoofing Pokemon GO, you have to download the iTools app on your PC/laptop and connect your iOS device to the system. Only then will you be able to use its virtual location option to spoof Pokemon GO.

VPNs

Did you know that you can use your VPN as a Pokemon GO location spoof? VPNs are one of the most used ways to spoof the app among iOS users. It is a bit complicated to use but sees if it works for you.

There are two complications in this method. The first one is that you have to combine a VPN and GPS spoofing app to fool Pokemon GO into believing that you are available in the spoofed location. The second complication is a bit harder for a regular user to overcome, i.e., jailbreaking your device. But, if you already have a jailbroken device, you may want to go with this method.

Also, ensure that your VPN is safe and well-trusted. VPNs are often free but have an upper bandwidth cap. So, pick one that fits your requirements well and works flawlessly with a jailbroken device. Some of the most used VPNs are Tunnelbear, SurfShark, VPN express, and NordVPN, etc.
