This is my video explaining Cooldown and Soft Ban to spoofing trainers wondering what it all means.
What WON'T affect Cooldown timer:
- teleporting
- looking at Pokemon
- looking at gyms/raids
- walking / hatching eggs
- open / sending gifts to friends
- cashing in completed research even if the reward is a Pokemon, you can still catch it w/o resetting the timer and it won't flee
- trading / battling friends
- checking for shinies / shundos (if you find on...leave your device on until you know your safe, then you'll be free to catch it)
- raiding as long as you don't throw a ball at the raid boss
What WILL affect Cooldown timer:
- catching Pokemon
- throwing a ball (even if you just drop it on the ground)
- trying to spin a stop
- feeding berries to gym pokemon
- battling a gym
