Niantic has just introduced the Wayfarer Challenge in Pokémon Go, offering trainers in Chile and India the opportunity to enhance their gaming environment and receive exclusive rewards.

The Pokémon Go Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled in Chile from March 7th to 9th and in India from March 10th to 12th. During the event, you can submit real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to become PokéStops and Gyms.

Evaluating these submissions helps achieve community goals. If 5,000 nominations are processed, all participants will receive 20 Ultra Balls, one Star Piece, one Incense, and one Poffin. If the community reaches 10,000 approvals, the rewards increase to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and one Lucky Egg.

To participate, you must be at least level 37 in Pokémon Go and have a Niantic Wayfarer account. New users on the platform must complete the Wayfarer Orientation before they can begin reviewing submissions.
