Pokémon Go accounts are being sold for thousands of pounds on eBay

Players wishing to skip effort required to gain experience and capture rare or advanced Poki(C)mon appear to be willing to pay for someone to do it for them

The Poki(C)mon Go craze continues unabated, with accounts being sold on auction sites such as eBay for thousands of pounds, despite contravening developer Niantic's terms of service.

The accounts, which list high-level trainers and specific rare or powerful Poki(C)mon with combat powers over 1,000 points, promise to help users defeat others in battle and take over gyms without needing to pound the streets catching Poki(C)mon for weeks.
