Author : Finn May 12,2025

Niantic has unveiled the exciting Wayfarer Challenge in Pokémon Go, offering trainers in Chile and India a unique opportunity to influence their local gaming environment while earning exclusive rewards. By participating in the review and approval process of Wayspot nominations through the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you can contribute to the addition of new PokéStops and Gyms in Pokémon Go, and simultaneously work towards achieving special milestone rewards.

The Pokémon Go Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During this period, you're encouraged 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 reach 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. If the milestone climbs to 10,000 approvals, the rewards escalate to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and a Lucky Egg.

To join the challenge, 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.

ytAdditionally, to be eligible for the rewards, 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, you must review at least 50 nominations, and the community must reach at least one of the set milestones.

Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge event will take 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 encounter more Kecleon spawns. Event-specific Field Research will give you a chance to encounter Eevee, while Timed Research offers opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
