Basically, I want to do a small amount of account sharing: A friend of mine lives in a relatively rural area with barely any Pokemon or Pokestops, so I wanted to help out since I live in the city and a five minute walk can pretty much fill up the item bag. I was going to go ahead with that, but I heard people can be banned (not sure if only soft bans or if people get hard banned too, and if my own account would be affected).
I'm guessing it would guess from the sudden change of location; an account logged in at the UK being signed into in Australia five minutes later would be naturally suspicious after all. Would we be able to avoid the risk of bans by having my friend just sign out for a couple of hours before I sign in so it looks like they just travelled here, or is that overkill? Would using a different device also be a red flag?
