Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event offers trainers a unique opportunity to influence their local gaming environment by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform. By participating, you can contribute to the addition of new PokéStops and Gyms in Pokémon Go, while also earning exclusive rewards.
The Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to run 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 potentially become PokéStops and Gyms.
As you review nominations, you'll help reach community milestones. Achieving 5,000 resolved nominations will unlock rewards for all participants, including 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. If the community reaches 10,000 approvals, the rewards escalate to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and a Lucky Egg.
To participate in the Wayfarer Challenge, you must be at least level 37 in Pokémon Go and have an active Niantic Wayfarer account. New users will need to complete the Wayfarer Orientation before they can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you must have recently played in Chile or India, or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To be eligible for rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.
Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge is the PokéStop Challenge event, taking place 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 you'll see more Kecleon spawns. Event-specific Field Research will offer encounters with Eevee, while Timed Research will provide opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
