Pokémon Go will host the Wayfarer Challenge in Chile and India, giving you a chance to nominate landmarks as PokéStops and Gyms

Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This unique event allows you to contribute to the Pokémon Go world by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, leading to new PokéStops and Gyms in your area. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to earn exclusive rewards as you participate.

The Wayfarer Challenge will take place from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, you can nominate real-world locations such as landmarks, sculptures, street art, and more to become PokéStops or Gyms. By reviewing these nominations, you'll help your community reach milestone goals. If 5,000 nominations are resolved, everyone participating will receive 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. If the community hits 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 need to complete the Wayfarer Orientation before they can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you need to have recently played in Chile or India or have set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To qualify for rewards, you must review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.

Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge is the PokéStop Challenge event, happening from March 9th to 12th in Chile and India. During this event, you'll earn 3x XP for your first visit to new PokéStops, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and see increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research will give you chances to encounter Eevee, while Timed Research offers opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
