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

Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge, running from March 7th to 9th in Chile and March 10th to 12th in India. This event offers a unique opportunity to influence your local gaming environment by nominating real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to become PokéStops and Gyms. By participating in the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you can review and approve these nominations, contributing to the addition of new PokéStops and Gyms in your community.

The Wayfarer Challenge is not just about community enhancement; it also comes with exclusive rewards. As you review nominations, you'll be working towards milestone goals. If the community manages to resolve 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, you 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 diving into the review process. Additionally, you must have played recently in Chile or India or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To qualify for rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.

Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge event will take place from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. During this event, exploring newly added PokéStops will earn you 3x XP for first-time visits, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and you'll encounter increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research will offer chances to encounter Eevee, while Timed Research provides opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
