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

Author:Kristen Update:May 15,2025

Niantic has recently unveiled the exciting Wayfarer Challenge in Pokémon Go, providing trainers in Chile and India with a unique opportunity to influence their gaming environment while reaping exclusive rewards. By engaging with the Niantic Wayfarer platform to review and approve Wayspot nominations, you can play a pivotal role in adding new PokéStops and Gyms to the game, all while progressing towards special milestone rewards.

The Pokémon Go Wayfarer Challenge will take place from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, you have the chance to nominate real-world locations such as landmarks, sculptures, and street art to be transformed into PokéStops and Gyms.

Participating in the review process helps achieve community milestones. 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 surpass this by reaching 10,000 approvals, the rewards will escalate to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and a Lucky Egg.

To join in, 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.

ytEligibility for rewards requires recent gameplay in Chile or India, or setting your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. You must review at least 50 nominations and contribute to reaching at least one of the milestones to qualify for rewards.

Simultaneously, the PokéStop Challenge event will run from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. During this event, you'll earn triple XP for your first visit to new PokéStops, triple Stardust from opening Gifts, and enjoy increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research tasks will offer encounters with Eevee, while Timed Research provides opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
