Pokémon Go's Wayfarer Challenge in Chile and India: Nominate Landmarks as PokéStops and Gyms

Niantic has introduced an exciting opportunity for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event allows you to actively participate in shaping your local Pokémon Go environment while earning exclusive rewards. By engaging with the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you can review and approve Wayspot nominations, which could lead to the introduction of new PokéStops and Gyms in your area.

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're encouraged to nominate real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to potentially become PokéStops or Gyms. Your contributions to reviewing these nominations will help reach community milestones, unlocking rewards for everyone involved.

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 number of approvals reach 10,000, 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. If you're new to the platform, you'll need to complete the Wayfarer Orientation before you can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you need to have recently played in Chile or India or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To be eligible for the rewards, you must review at least 50 nominations, and at least one community milestone must be achieved.

Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge event will occur from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. During this event, you'll earn 3x XP for visiting new PokéStops for the first time, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and experience increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research tasks will give you encounters with Eevee, while Timed Research offers chances to catch other Pokémon.
