Pokémon Go Launches Wayfarer Challenge in Chile and India

Niantic has introduced an exciting opportunity for Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event allows trainers to contribute to their local Pokémon Go environment by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, transforming real-world locations into new PokéStops and Gyms while earning exclusive rewards.

The Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to take place from March 7th to 9th in Chile, and from March 10th to 12th in India. During this period, trainers can nominate landmarks, sculptures, street art, and other significant locations to be featured in the game.

Participating in the challenge involves reviewing nominations, which helps the community reach milestone goals. Achieving 5,000 resolved nominations will grant all participants 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. If the community manages to reach 10,000 approvals, the rewards 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 possess 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 be eligible for the rewards, you must review at least 50 nominations, and at least one of the milestones must be achieved.

Simultaneously, the PokéStop Challenge event will run from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. This event offers 3x XP for first-time visits to newly added PokéStops, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and increased Kecleon spawns. Event Field Research will provide encounters with Eevee, while Timed Research offers chances to catch other Pokémon.
