Make sniping better

[PotentialIngenuity]

There is a program called PokeSniper 2 that uses pokesnipers.com for rare Pokemon locations. It will teleport you to the Pokemon then enter battle and teleport back to actually catch it, (preventing you from being soft banned). After it catches it, it will move on to the next Pokemon. It would be amazing if pokesniper was apart of this bot.

It's a very nice idea, but I'm pretty sure that site will be offline due to a DMCA or similar within days.
If we could find out where it gets its data, that would be helpful. I'm guessing twitter?

+1. They have a Public API here: http://pokesnipers.com/api/v1/pokemon.json
I kinda highly doubt that they'll commit to any warnings from Niantic. So I suggest to add support for it regardless.

Seems like this would be easy to detect.

Just realized sniping is already supported: https://github.com/PokemonGoF/PokemonGo-Bot/wiki/MoveToPokemonMap-configuration#snipe

It is, but only in the radius the map bot searches. Very small chance to have 1 very rare pokemon, let alone multiple, of course.

A crowdsourced list of pokemon and coordinates would be best for this purpose, but it's very easy for niantic to detect this and ban your account.

Sniping is almost certainly going you banned now.
