Cooldowns

What is a cooldown?

Cooldown is the wait time after doing an in-game action (like catching or spinning). It is based on how far you teleport after the action . Teleporting itself does not trigger cooldown , but if you act too soon after jumping locations, the next action can fail.

Maximum cooldown is 2 hours. If you have not done any cooldown-triggering actions in 2 hours , you can act anywhere.

Cooldown distance

The wait after teleporting is based on the distance from your last action . For example, if you caught a Pokémon and then teleported 500 km away, wait 1 hour before doing another action. The wait increases with distance, up to 2 hours at 1,500 km or more .

How to check cooldown

  • Check the iPogo Journal ( Settings ) on iOS.
  • Check the in-game Journal ( Avatar > Journal ).
  • Use the Sniping Tool with cooldown warnings enabled.
  • Use Feeds and check the timer at the bottom right.

Which actions trigger a cooldown?

Actions that trigger cooldown

If an action is not on this list, it does not trigger cooldown:

  • Catching a Pokémon (including Incense, Coin Bag, Raid Boss, and Meltan Box spawns)
  • Dropping or throwing a ball on the catch screen
  • Spinning PokéStops or Gyms
  • Placing a Pokémon in a Gym
  • Battling in a Gym
  • Feeding Gym defenders ( while physically at the Gym )

This list will be updated if new triggers are discovered.

Read how cooldown works and how to check it .

What is camping?

Camping means waiting on a Pokémon's catch screen until your cooldown ends.

  1. Tap the Pokémon, but do not throw a ball .
  2. Wait on the catch screen and set a timer for the remaining cooldown.
  3. After cooldown ends , throw a ball to catch it.

You MUST respect cooldown times. Catching too soon can fail and the Pokémon will flee.

Your account & VIP

Should I use an alternate account?

We recommend using an alternate account instead of your main account when using iPogo. You can use a second device to trade eligible Pokémon to your main account, subject to Pokémon GO’s trading restrictions.

Using an alternate account does not eliminate the risk of account penalties.

How does iPogo VIP work?
VIP is optional. It is a set of special (paid) features to make iPogo that much better!
You can use iPogo on up to 3 instances of the app at the same time.

Gameplay

What is sniping?

Sniping means teleporting to a Pokémon's coordinates to catch it. Enter the coordinates into iPogo and tap the Pokémon.

Teleporting and tapping the Pokémon do not trigger cooldown. Before throwing a ball, check the time since your last cooldown-triggering action and the distance you travelled.

If you are still on cooldown, camp on the catch screen until it ends. Read the cooldown guide before catching.

What are speed raids?

Speed raids means moving between raids to look for a shiny Pokémon or a particular IV. You must be off your previous cooldown before starting. After the battle, run from the Raid Boss encounter before moving to the next raid.

Dropping or throwing a ball on the catch screen, or catching a Raid Boss, triggers cooldown. Respect the cooldown before interacting at another location.

See the complete cooldown trigger list .

Why do spawns show the wrong level?
All the coordinates posted in our Discord and app are only for trainers level 30 and above. If you are below that level, the Pokémon's IV and CP will be random. The weather changes every hour and may also change a Pokémon's IV. If a Pokémon was posted before 5 PM and you check it at 5:01 PM after the weather has changed, don't be surprised; always verify the CP before catching.
How do I catch shinies only?
To catch only shinies, click on a Pokémon and see if it is shiny. If it is, catch it. If it is not shiny, run away from it without triggering a cooldown and look for another.
