Pokemon-go – How to tell if someone is cheating and report them in pokémon go

pokemon-go

The game was recently launched in my country and all gyms close by are occupied by level 20+ trainers with cp 2000+ rare pokémons.

A quick search revealed other players in my country complaining about the same thing and a link to report players (https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=319948).

How do I know if the player is indeed cheating or just played the game too much? Is 2000+ CP possible to achieve without cheating? And what information I should include in my report to Niantic?

If you are suspicious, report them. It's not your job to be 100% certain.

Niantic have access to far more resources than you do for verifying if they are playing legitimately. Bring any evidence you have to their attention and let them handle it.
