SFIDA_TO_CENTRAL (for reading data from PGP).

CENTRAL_TO_SFIDA (for sending data to PGP).

SFIDA_COMMANDS (for notifying the game to continue to the next step).

There are three characteristics (вЂњcharacteristicsвЂќ is a BLE term) provided by the certification service: To be recognized by Pokemon Go app/game, it needs to announce its name as: вЂњPokemon GO PlusвЂќ, вЂњPokemon PBPвЂќ, or вЂњEbisuEbisu testвЂќ.Д«efore the LED and Button can be used, we need to pass the certification process. PGP is a BLE peripheral that provides three services: This background information is needed to understand the certification algorithm. Just for your information, this company has been in this reverse engineering business for a few decades. So currently (until now) there is no open source PGP device available since the device release data in 2016.Д®ven though no one has published the certification algorithm, Datel/Codejunkies has managed to reverse engineer this and released their clone: Gotcha and Gotcha Ranger. Unfortunately, he didnвЂ™t continue this effort, and he never posted anything related to this. His write-up only covers the reconnection part. The certification is done at first connection which generates a key to be used at subsequent connections. He figured out part of the certification process, but it turns out that it was not the complete process (this is the reconnection protocol).

On January 2017, a Reddit user BobThePigeon_ wrote a quite detailed article about reverse engineering PGP device. When the PGP device was finally released, the corresponding Pokemon GO app that supports it was already obfuscated. Before the device was announced, the Pokemon GO app was still not obfuscated and the certification algorithm was not included yet. On the PGP side, ever since this device was announced in 2016, many have tried to reimplement it in some form of hardware (for example this). Either they have not figured out the latest protection or may be catching up with Niantic is getting boring or no that profitable. For a while, there was a group that runs a hashing-as-a-service with a paid subscription but since a few months ago they havenвЂ™t reopened their service. Since the obfuscated version came out, only a few people worked on cracking the new algorithms. Starting from version 0.37 on around second week of September 2016 (which is the first version that supports PGP), Niantic added a very complex obfuscation to the native code, and since then they have changed the hashing method several times, and lately also added encryption. Then things changed when Niantic implemented a complex hashing algorithm for the requests to their servers, but this too was quickly defeated with collaboration from many hackers. In a short amount of time people were making bots and maps. The first few versions of Pokemon GO were not protected at all. I am writing this to clear up some confusion that people have on the current state of Pokemon GO Game/App and PGP reverse engineering.

A short history of past reverse engineering attempts

I am providing a reference implementation for ESP32 so you can test this yourself, the source code DOES NOT INCLUDE the BLOB and DEVICE KEY.Д«efore I begin, let me start with the current state of Pokemon GO Reverse and PGP reverse engineering. I will explain the complete certification algorithm that I obtain from reverse engineering a PGP clone, and then I will explain how I did the reverse engineering and how you can extract your own blob and key if you want to clone your own device. There have been many attempts to clone this device, but only Datel seems to figure out the algorithm, while the other clones are cloning the exact hardware and firmware.

Pokemon GO Plus, (which I will refer from now on as PGP) is a wearable Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device to be used with the Pokemon GO game for Android or iOS. Using otherвЂ™s people blob may be blacklisted in the future (or Niantic may ban your account). I have not figured out how you can generate your own blob and key.

However, there is a per device blob used (specific to a Bluetooth Mac Address) for key generation. I have managed to get the certification algorithm.

TL DR You can clone a Pokemon GO Plus device that you own.
