Hi everyone,
There’s a player in my area who seems to be using multiple accounts to dominate all the local gyms in Pokemon Go. I’ve seen him in action — he uses at least 5 accounts with nearly identical usernames (just numbered variants), plus a few others. It’s become nearly impossible for anyone else to participate fairly.
Is this something that can be reported? And if so, what’s the best way to do it effectively? I want to make sure I follow the proper steps and keep the game fun and fair for everyone.
This is not wayfarer issue. You should make abuse report in pogo. Anyway, just because you see the name in series, doesnt means its multi account. It could be family with similar name. Secondly, if he is using multiple id in multiple phone, its very hard to get it banned because pogo have difficulty of differentiating legitimate pogo family and 1 person with multiple phone. You might argue that all account always “stick together” but sometimes some couple or kids are just like that. I have seen couple that only play when his spouse play or parents that only give his kids pogo account when they are together outside. Personally i just accept it as long he is not flying. Anyway you having control of many gym is not that great. Try “ringging” bell everynow and then to disturb him. He cant stay 24hours to defend gym anyway
I would encourage you to persist in Reporting as @cyndiepooh suggests what appears to be multi account behaviour. It’s very frustrating.
However gym control is a gameplay issue and outside the remit of this forum so I will close this topic, but good luck.
