3) Add or Install Lucky Patcher and Fake GPS

After installing it hit the folder icon on the left side and select the GPS app you have downloaded.

Open Lucky Patcher and Hit Grant. Hit Rebuild / Install at the bottom.

Hit SD Card =>  Windows => 1st folder and  Find Fake GPS 4.6 .apk

Install Fake GPS as a System app using Lucky Patcher.

Hit Yes when it says Install as System app and Hit No when it asks to restart because we are going to restart it manually.

Close everything except the welcome page and restart Bluestacks.

Add Pokémon GO Game from the Apk Button at the left side.

Open Lucky Patcher and hit the search button in the bottom and hit filter at the top and sort as System apps.

You should see fake GPS. Click on it and select launch. On the top right of Fake GPS app, go into settings and make sure EXPERT mode is checked.

Select any location that you want to spoof. Select the play button or whatever it is called when you find a suitable location. The map will close. It's not a problem. Just launch your Pokémon GO app and log in to your account.

If you get a message that wants to know your Location, hit no!

I should also mention that you have to turn off Google Location from the settings in your Android and select High Accuracy in mode.

How To Play Pokemon GO:

Well, when you want to move, select the fake GPS app from the notification bar and select your location and hit play. Your character will move.

Some Problems You Might Face:

You might see GPS signal not found error.

Be sure to turn off both locations in your windows. If you are using Windows 10, go to settings and turn off the 1st and 2nd option.

 

Double check if you have turned off Google location and turned on High accuracy. If you still face any problem connecting to the GPS, select device only ( It worked for me ).


Still Getting Failed Location ? 

A solution by Travis D:

I found a way to fix "Failed to detect location".
First of all, download developer menu apk file (http://bluestacksapk.com/Download_Dev...)
after installing it, open it, and turn it OFF! (Everything is unchecked, but who cares, just turn it OFF from top right)

CRASHING WHEN CATCHING Pokémon?
1: Please try removing your google account by going into settings => clicking google =>  hitting top right dots and remove account, re open Pokémon GO , it should still log you in without any problem. (Credits:zen)
2. Reinstall Bluestacks if above didn't work.


Please download correct versions of the softwares that matches your OS.

It's not that complex as it sounds. It took me about 15 minutes to set this up. Although you can do almost everything, it's not how the game was meant to be played. You have to minimize the game and reload the Fake GPS App every time you want to move, select the location, hit play and the character will start walking. Playing Pokémon GO while walking outside is the main attraction that made this game so interesting.


Conclusion : Don't jump around too fast or else the game might ban you temporarily! Although this is a fun way to play the Game, it is against the TOS of Pokémon GO. So play this at  your own risk!


Pokémon GO is a crazy game. However, play with safety and don't act like this guy!
