What are all the possible ways to get red slashes on your account?

Hello guys,

I'm one of the administrators of a raid group in my town, we have a no spoofer policy.

Yesterday one of our members showed red slashes through his pokemon on his account, we associated this with spoofing and so we kicked that player out of the group.

He says he never spoofed. I just want to be 100% sure that we made the right decision and that's why I would like to know what all the possible ways are of getting red slashes through your pokemon.

Is it possible to achieve this by letting other people log in to your account. Perhaps when you do this to quickly while being far away from one another the game thinks you're spoofing and you get red slashes through the pokemon you catch?

Is it possible to achieve this by using an IV checker that is not allowed?

If you can help me out or know a good site which explains this thoroughly I would very much appreciate it.

Greetings,
Tom

IV checkers which used to log into your account can give you red slashes even from months ago. It gives red slashes to every pokemon you caught that day too.

I don’t understand the crackdown on iv checkers. How is it cheating? You’re just evaluating how good your mons are.

It’s like if coin and stamp collectors or comic book collectors said you couldn’t use pricing guides to see how much your items were worth. Or they outlawed the use of the blue book value for your car

Are you sure it could cause slashes? As I recollect it only causes bans and warnings

I m not telling your guy didnt use hacks but apps which used to log into your account/niantic servers marks you for a time. Even months ago. That gave red slashes to people.

I think the slash policy is nonsense anyway. There are known spoofers in my area that just keep on trucking. Got all three legendary beasts in the first three days: check. 26 unown: check. Various hundred percent mons & duplicates: check.

How exactly do people get slashes anyway. I don't really believe it works.

Letting people log into your account will not result in a red slash. The red slash comes from using a hacked version of the API so pokemon caught using a bot or a bot service will result in the slash.

In my experience, spoofers don't show up in person to raids. At any rate, either he did something else or is trying to reform. With the dwindling interest in this game (and it being winter perhaps where you live), it's tough to turn away help these days.

They sometimes do and act like fair players, but fanatically taking over gyms in some places while you confirm nobody on the street.

As far as I understand, pokemon caught with bots using a hacked API are the main target of red slashes. Some, but not all, spoofing apps use a hacked API also and can be hit.
