Save yourself the heartache. Keep the emulator for Clash of Clans and use your phone for walking your real-life kilometers. Your account level will thank you. Have you tried spoofing on Bluestacks? Did you get a ban? Let us know in the comments below (or commiserate on our Discord).
When you use the Bluestacks location tool, you set a Latitude and Longitude, but you rarely set an altitude. Niantic logs whether your altitude matches the ground level of that specific coordinate. If you are "standing" 400 meters above Central Park because the emulator defaulted to sea level, you stand out.
On paper, it sounds perfect. A big screen, keyboard controls, and the ability to teleport to Tokyo, New York, and Sydney in the space of five minutes. But is this the ultimate way to play, or a fast track to a permanent ban?
It works for about 24 hours. It feels amazing to teleport to a 100% IV Dragonite. And then you wake up the next morning to the dreaded "Failed to get game data from the server" message.
