Cheats and hacks are important especially now that the game is rolling out in full force. Some developers looked into the possibility of creating cheats that would make it easier for players to catch monsters and hatch eggs since "Pokémon Go" is not relegated to young, agile kids only. Even old people can play it, but yes, cheats are essential for them to manage the game easier.

The problem with these is a player could get banned from playing the game by no less than Niantic itself. That's why players are advised to choose the cheats wisely lest they want to say goodbye to their pocket monsters for good.

As per Mobile n Apps, though, there is one cheat that "Pokémon Go" players could use without fear of getting banned. It has been tried and tested, and apparently, Niantic hasn't banned players who are using Necrobot to catch monsters.

Dubbed as a "ban-proof" cheat, players who use Necrobot increase their chances of catching Pokémons within the area and even opens the opportunity of farming. The app is free to download, and players don't need to buy any other software to make it work.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg has compiled a few hacks that iPhone and Android players, specifically the "lazy" ones, could take advantage of. Some of these hacks involve the use of everyday stuff found in the homes of players like cardboard boxes, sticky notes, and even a ceiling fan.

One hack, known as the Pokémon Egg Incubator, requires players to strap their phones to a ceiling fan in order to hatch eggs. Apparently, this hack fools the game into thinking that a player is outside trying to catch monsters or hatch eggs.

Craftier developers came up with the "Pokémon Go" bot, which is harder to use, what with Niantic's recent moves against map apps. The bots purportedly walk the map for players to collect items. There's also a GPS spoofing setup, and the good thing about this is, it works with any mobile device. The hack makes the game think a player is anywhere in the world, but the downside is, a player would need to invest money to make it work.

Hopefully, these cheats and hacks could help players in their quest to catch those Pokémon. In the meantime, keep coming back for more "Pokémon Go" cheats, tips, and hacks.
