Catching Pokémon while spoofing location is one of the easy ways; you need not move a single step while you catch a Pokémon. A friend of mine asked for tips for catching Pokémon present anywhere without getting banned, and then I recommended him VMOS application. With the application, you can easily collect as many Pokémon as possible. I am confident this article will guide you in detail on how to spoof with VMOS in Pokémon Go.

Part 1. What Is VMOS APK?

VMOS is an application available to smartphones based on Virtual Machine. The application is capable of running in Android phones that rocks Android version 5.1 and later. With the virtual machine on your phone, you can run another dedicated Android on your phone that has its own interface, Play services, and settings. Using the application will not affect your original Android; that’s why spoofing location with VMOS is a smart way to not get banned from Pokémon Go.

Part 2. Does VMOS Still Work for Pokémon Go?

The answer is yes! VMOS still works for Pokémon Go. In the last Pokémon Go update, developers patched the game that does not work in virtual devices. VMOS had rough times coping up with the Pokémon Go update; they received user complaints and responded. Eventually, VMOS developers came up with fixes that allow playing Pokémon Go virtually.

If you use the application with care and don’t jump too high on the application, you will likely stay safe on the game. However, the location spoofing on Android devices does not work if it’s not rooted. It is a significant demerit to consider while using VMOS on Android.

Part 3. How to Use VMOS for Pokémon Go?

Let’s be clear, installing VMOS for Pokémon GO for the first time is not easy, as always. You need to do some configurations on both the Original Android and Virtual Android box.

Required Applications:

  • VMOS application
  • Lucky Patcher
  • File Explorer (ES File Explorer)
  • VFIN 1.0.1
  • Pokémon GO application
  • GPS Joystick App Ninja

The following steps will guide you with detailed steps.
