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 event not only allows you to influence the Pokémon Go world by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform but also offers you the chance to earn exclusive rewards.

The Wayfarer Challenge will be held from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, you can nominate real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to potentially become PokéStops and Gyms in the game. By participating, you contribute to reaching 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 milestone reach 10,000 approvals, the rewards will upgrade 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 they can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you must have played in Chile or India recently or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To qualify for the rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one community milestone must be achieved.
