Niantic Lab has now been issuing permanent account bans to all the player who uses cheats, hacks or other third party applications. "Pokemon GO" clearly stated that information in their blog post.
Players should not be worried because Niantic's only goal is to have a fair, fun, clean and legitimate experience for all the "Pokemon GO" players. If the system of Niantic will confirm that the player has been cheating, they will automatically send an email stating that the player's account has been banned.
But, if the player strongly believes that they are not cheating, they can contact Niantic help support here. According to Polygon, Niantic has been issuing soft bans or temporary bans since "Pokemon GO" earlier release. But last week Niantic officialy announced the Permanent account bans.
Most of the players were banned because of using GPS spoofing applications. GPS spoofing is sending fake GPS signals to "Pokemon GO" servers and the software simulate the act of walking around, and the user will have the ability to catch Pokemons without even being there.
However, according to Business Insider, there are other tips and tricks that won't get the users banned. "Pokemon GO" players know that Pikachu is the most famous Pokemon and one special Pokemons that is hard to catch. So, when you are start playing "Pokemon GO" and the professor tells you to catch either Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, don't catch them yet, ignore them four times and keep walking until a Pikachu comes out.
If you have many Pokemons to evolve in "Pokemon GO" don't use them yet if you don't have lucky egg. Lucky egg gives the players double XP so, if the player evolves the Pokemon while using lucky egg, they will have their XP doubled. Also, "Pokemon GO" players can use incense and lures with lucky egg.
Don't use the stardust while you are level 12 below. Wait until you are level 12 above and use stardust on stronger Pokemons. Also, when catching a Pokemon, throw the PokeBall into the smallest possible yellow/orange/red circle to maximize throw bonus and "Pokemon GO" players can earn more XP.
