Can you turn a PokéStop into a gym?

Yes, a PokéStop can become a Gym in Pokémon GO when enough stops/gyms accumulate in a specific area (S2 Level 14 cell), triggering a conversion; the most popular existing stop (based on photo likes in Ingress/PoGo) usually becomes the Gym, though the system can be random or influenced by adding photos/likes to a desired stop before the trigger.

Why do people put low CP Pokémon in gyms?

Low CP Pokémon lose motivation slower as they have less to lose, this is the case if they're just defending the gym or if someone is battling them in the gym. Whereas high CP lose motivation significantly faster as they have more to lose both defending the gym, and being battled by another trainer.

Can I trick Pokemon Go into thinking I'm walking?

Yes, you can trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking using methods like GPS spoofing apps (iAnyGo, AnyTo) with virtual joysticks or by shaking your phone in a sock, which plays on GPS/Adventure Sync inaccuracies, but these can violate terms of service; official methods focus on using Adventure Sync for real steps, while non-walking tricks use location manipulation or device shaking for buddy candy and egg hatching.

Will I get banned if I spoof Pokemon Go?

Yes, you can absolutely get banned for spoofing in Pokémon Go, as it violates Niantic's Terms of Service and Trainer Guidelines by falsifying your location and using unauthorized software, leading to temporary suspensions (soft bans) or even permanent account termination. While some players use complex methods to try and avoid detection, Niantic actively detects spoofing through unusual movement patterns (like rapid teleporting), modified apps, and third-party tools, resulting in warnings, strikes, and eventually bans, though false positives from legitimate travel can occur.

Does the sock trick work in Pokemon Go?

Yes, the "sock method" (or pendulum trick) for hatching eggs in Pokémon Go generally still works by simulating movement, leveraging the game's Adventure Sync to track phone motion (not just steps) and add distance, though its effectiveness relies on good phone setup and movement, often involving putting the phone in a long sock and swinging it or attaching it to a rotating object, but always ensure Adventure Sync and health permissions are on.

Does driving count as walking in Pokemon go?

Pokemon Go doesn't count normal driving as walking because it has a speed limit for tracking distance (around 10.5-13 km/h or 6-8 mph), but it can count very slow driving (like in heavy traffic or just moving slowly) or be tricked by GPS spoofing apps, though this isn't recommended. The game uses Adventure Sync to track distance when the app is closed, but it's designed to differentiate between walking and fast travel, often showing your avatar running or biking to indicate no distance earned.

Is there a 5000 CP Pokémon Go?

At level 39 you can power stuff up to level 49. There are certainly Pokemon that would cross 4000 at that point. There are very few that can cross 5000. Other than the megas (which are temporary) only Slaking (barely!) and the Kyurem fusions can get above 5000 currently.
