Pokémon Go Launches Wayfarer Challenge in Chile and India for New PokéStops and Gyms

Niantic has recently introduced the Wayfarer Challenge in Pokémon Go, offering trainers in Chile and India an exciting opportunity to enhance their local gaming environment while earning exclusive rewards. This event allows players to review and approve Wayspot nominations through the Niantic Wayfarer platform, thereby contributing to the addition of new PokéStops and Gyms in the game.

The Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile, and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, participants can nominate real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to become new PokéStops and Gyms. By engaging in this process, players not only enrich their gaming experience but also work towards achieving special milestone rewards.

The rewards are structured based on the number of nominations resolved. If the community successfully resolves 5,000 nominations, all participants will be rewarded with 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the community reach 10,000 approvals, the rewards escalate to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and a Lucky Egg.

To participate in the Wayfarer Challenge, players must be at least level 37 in Pokémon Go and have a Niantic Wayfarer account. New users will need to complete the Wayfarer Orientation before they can begin reviewing nominations. Additionally, to qualify for the rewards, participants must have recently played in Chile or India, or have their Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location set to one of these countries. They also need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.

Concurrently, a PokéStop Challenge event will be held from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. During this event, players can earn 3x XP for visiting new PokéStops for the first time, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and encounter increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research will provide opportunities to encounter Eevee, while Timed Research offers chances to catch other Pokémon.
