Pokémon Go's Wayfarer Challenge in Chile and India: Nominate Landmarks as PokéStops and Gyms

by Riley May 01,2025

Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event offers a unique opportunity to influence your local gaming environment while earning exclusive rewards. By engaging with the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you can review and approve Wayspot nominations, contributing to the addition of new PokéStops and Gyms in your area.

The Wayfarer Challenge will 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, and street art to become part of the Pokémon Go world.

Participating in the event not only helps enhance your local community but also earns you rewards based on collective milestones. If the community successfully resolves 5,000 nominations, every participant will receive 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Push the community to 10,000 approvals, and 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. Additionally, you need to 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 must review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.

ytAlongside the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge event will take place from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. This event offers 3x XP for first-time visits to new PokéStops, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and increased Kecleon spawns. You can also encounter Eevee through Event Field Research and participate in Timed Research for a chance to catch other Pokémon.
