If you thought there were no hackers in Pokémon Go, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but there are a large part of the community that uses different programs to move from one place to another in order to get Pokémon that, for example, they cannot get in their region. That is why, in this guide we are going to talk about all the types of bans that exist within the game, whether by third-party programs or for other reasonswhich we will explain below.
All types of bans in Pokémon Go
As we have already mentioned, even a game as simple as Pokémon Go is not free from cheaters. On the bright side, Niantic continues to take the necessary measures to ban accounts that violate the rules, but something you should know is that not all sanctions are given to accounts that have used programs external to the game.
The multi-accounts are a clear example of this, since the company does not allow players to have more than one, nor are these allowed are shared with another player, or that are sold in exchange for money. This type of behavior can cost you the entire bill, since you could be permanently bannedthus losing access to it.
On the other hand, we leave you a list with the most common reasons for banning that is inside the game, along with the time you can be banned.

- First warning: You will have this warning for seven days, worsening your gaming experience.
- Second warning: Your account will be banned for the next thirty days.
- Third warning: Your account will be permanently banned, losing all your progress, Pokémon and items obtained through it.
How to remove the ban in Pokémon Go
If your case is a softbanat hours and even a few days You will be able to use your account again as normal. However, if your case is a permanent ban, you only have the option of appeal said ban to the game support, since you have three opportunities from the first ban, so if you manage to get your account back, Don’t break the rules again if you want to keep all your Pokémon.
