What is Cooldown in Pokémon GO?
A Cooldown is the waiting time required after performing an in-game action when you’re spoofing. It’s calculated based on the distance between your previous and next in-game action.
If you ignore cooldown rules, you’ll trigger a soft ban:
- Pokéstops show “Try Again Later”
- All wild Pokémon will flee instantly when you try to catch them
💡 With iFlowGo, you can teleport safely and manage cooldown time easily with joystick and teleport features.
Cooldown Time Reference
📌 See the image below for the full Cooldown Time Chart (Distance vs Wait Time).
Actions That Trigger Cooldown
Performing any of these after teleporting or moving long distances requires waiting:
- Catching a wild Pokémon
- Dropping a ball on encounter screen (even in raids)
- Feeding a Pokémon with a berry
- Spinning a Pokéstop
- Placing a Pokémon in a gym
- Feeding a gym defender (within radar)
- Gym battles
- Fleeing Pokémon (catch limit)
- Using Gotcha devices to spin/catch
Actions That Do NOT Trigger Cooldown
These actions are safe to perform anytime, even after teleporting:
- Teleporting without interaction
- Encountering Pokémon (without catching)
- Remote berry feeding of gym defenders
- Autowalk / hatching eggs
- Claiming quests or weekly rewards
