There have been multiple third-party tools for "Pokémon GO" almost immediately after the game launched, allowing players to cheat in the game. However, Niantic Labs and the Pokémon Company have been taking these apps down and banning players momentarily for cheating. Fortunately, one tool still exists, allowing players to gain free coins.

PokéCoins are required to purchase items in the in-game shop. Items like more powerful PokéBalls and Incense are all bought in the store. While players can get some for free by visiting PokéStops, buying them in bulk is easier and faster. Gaining PokéCoins is a tedious process, however, and this tool fixes this by giving players all the free coins needed.

According to Mobile N Apps, the tool was designed by the hacker group Dachucn. Following the instructions is crucial in order to get the app working. As noted in the report, the first step is to visit the group's Facebook page and simply hit the Like button as well as share the page, adding in the caption "Thank You for PokeCoins PokeBalls."

Once this process has been done, a step that further advertises their efforts and tools, the player can then visit the official site and initiate the system hack. Several pop-ups will appear, prompting the player to take a few surveys. The report states that it is imperative that the player takes these surveys or the hack will fail.

When the hack has finished, the player will receive a large sum of PokéCoins. The hacker group also has a similar tool for free PokéBalls and other in-game items, and they all follow the same basic format to be completed. It is noted that the tool does not require players to donate money but to simply follow the instructions to advertise the tool and to take the surveys, which are likely added to generate profits for their site.
