Isn't it another form of cheating?
Will kena caught or not?
Later we catch zapdos with the time stamped in US timing when their event havent start at all, then how?
Niantic implemented it this way, it's just like the way current daily raid pass is issued too, except that during the community hours day, it issues 4 more passes.
As for the time stamp, it will still reflect your local time once everything is over.
So assuming u raid 10 times from 11am to 2pm, they will all reflect the time u captured, from 11am to 2pm, regardless of the timezone u set previously.
U try before during articuno day? It works?? My concern is that if the phone timing is reflecting at 20 july, how we can 5 pass when the zapdos event had yet to start in US?
It got something to do with Niantic's implementation.
Basically during Asia Pacific region's community hours, all the gyms in that region will give out 5 passes per day. So that means if u spin the gym on 2 days then u get 10 passes total.
It gets even better for spoofers, who can get 10 passes, then another 5 more passes by going to another region's Zapdos Day, such as Europe, or US.
