How to Fly in Pokémon Go

Ever wished you could catch rare Pokémon from Tokyo, join a raid in New York, or spin PokéStops in Paris - all without leaving your home? That's where the idea of "flying" in Pokémon GO comes in.

For many trainers, location restrictions make it hard to access region-exclusive Pokémon, participate in global events, or simply play the game in rural areas with few spawns. It's frustrating to feel left out just because of where you live. As a result, more and more players are searching for ways to change their location virtually - safely and effectively.

In this guide, we'll break down what it means to "fly" in Pokémon GO, how to fly, and what you need to know to avoid getting banned while maximizing your gameplay experience.

Part 1. What Does "Flying" Mean in Pokémon Go？

In Pokémon GO, "flying" is a slang term used by players to describe the act of changing your in-game GPS location without physically moving — often referred to as GPS spoofing.

When you "fly," you make the game think you're in a different city, country, or continent, even though you're standing still in real life. This allows you to:

• Catch region-exclusive Pokémon
• Join remote raids around the world
• Access PokéStops and Gyms in different locations
• Participate in location-based events globally

It's called "flying" because you're virtually teleporting or "flying" across the map - sometimes instantly - like you're soaring to different places.

Part 2. Is Flying in Pokémon Go Allowed?

Pokémon GO is designed around real-world exploration. Using third-party tools or apps to manipulate your location is considered cheating. Niantic actively monitors for suspicious activity and uses anti-cheat systems to detect spoofers. If caught, players can receive a first strike warning, a temporary ban, or even a permanent account ban.

So when you try to "fly" in Pokémon Go, you need to be careful to reduce your chances of getting caught by Niantic. It is key to choose a reliable app to do that task. In the following guide, you will get two powerful tools and learn how to use them to fly in Pokémon Go.
