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

Authore: AndrewUpdate:May 21,2025

Niantic has unveiled an exciting new event for Pokémon Go players in Chile and India: the Wayfarer Challenge. This event offers trainers a unique opportunity to contribute to their local gaming environment by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, thereby helping to add new PokéStops and Gyms to the game. In return, participants can earn exclusive rewards, making it a rewarding experience.

The Wayfarer Challenge is set to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, players can nominate real-world locations such as landmarks, sculptures, and street art to become part of the Pokémon Go world. By engaging in the review process, trainers contribute to reaching community milestones.

If the community successfully resolves 5,000 nominations, all participants will receive 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the collective effort hit 10,000 approvals, 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. 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'll need to review at least 50 nominations, and the community must reach at least one milestone.

Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge will take place from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. During this event, players can earn 3x XP for their first visit to newly added PokéStops, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and encounter more Kecleon. Event-specific Field Research will offer encounters with Eevee, while Timed Research provides opportunities to catch other Pokémon.
