What Happens in 7-Day Pokémon GO Ban?
Are you a Pokémon trainer experiencing a 7-day Pokémon GO ban? Fear not, as we will explain what happens during this suspension period and how to lift it.
Why do I get a 7-day Pokémon GO ban?
Before diving into what happens during a 7-day ban, let’s understand why you may have received this strike in the first place. Typically, a 7-day Pokémon GO ban is the second strike, given when the game detects repeated incidents of cheating, spoofing, or other rule-violating behavior. If this strike is not taken seriously and the behavior continues, more severe penalties, including longer bans, may occur.
What happens during a 7-day Pokémon GO ban?
The second strike, which leads to a 7-day Pokémon GO ban, does not completely lock out the banned account. You are allowed to continue playing Pokémon GO, but your abilities and gameplay will be heavily restricted. Here’s a list of what you can and cannot do during the suspension period:
Wild Pokémon encounters:
• When you encounter wild Pokémon, they will flee or refuse to battle.
• Rare and shiny Pokémon, in particular, will avoid interaction with your character for 7 days.
• Encounters with regular, common, and uncommon wild Pokémon will be restricted as well.
Pokémon spawn rates:
• Catch rates for all wild Pokémon will be reduced.
• Pokémon spawn rates for new Pokémon will be halted during the ban.
Spinning PokéStops:
• Catch and spin rewards for all PokéStops, gyms, and related services will be temporarily frozen.
• No Poké Coins or items can be spun or earned from Spinning PokéStops or Gyms.
Research tasks:
• Task completion and progress reset (you will not keep earned rewards).
• Unreached milestones for Task levels will be re Reset).
Trading:
• Trading will be entirely prohibited during the ban duration.
• No trading operations (buy, sell, offer, or withdraw).
Gym Battles and Leaders:
• Any claimed Gyms or earned title will be suspended temporarily, and your opponents might get the opportunity to usurp your positions.
• Defense and Attack Crag formations will be interrupted by hostile Pokémon.
Conversing with Friends and Chats:
• Interact normally in-app by writing messages, posting tips, or sharing progress as an active player, regardless of the ban status. In-game friends, raids, and trades, excluding special events, can participate.
• Inapp Facebook and social sharing also are unaffected.
How does this 7-day suspension impact your overall journey?
Please continue in moderation or wait until your penalty lapse.
What other risks do I need to keep in mind? It depends on the spoofing or hacking detection levels in place (these can be dynamic adjustments due to Niantic policy changes).
Potential Escalation:
Don’t risk more penalties when suspended. Avoid actions causing subsequent strikes. Consider pausing your Pokémon journey altogether when banned. Take measures:
• Review past logs to pinpoint behaviors causing bans. Learn from your experiences
The third strike would generally result in an in-depth review, after the end of the temporary suspensions. It will, typically require assistance (your proof on the reason), demonstrating dedication to follow game standards once more.
A possible warning or message during account actions will alert you concerning more severe consequences should continue transgressions.
So before proceeding, understand each and every possible factor at play when determining further actions.
