Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event provides a unique opportunity to influence your local environment while earning exclusive rewards. By participating in reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you'll contribute to adding new PokéStops and Gyms to Pokémon Go and work towards special milestone rewards.

The Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During the event, you can nominate real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to transform them into PokéStops and Gyms.

Your reviews will help achieve community milestones. If the community resolves 5,000 nominations, every participant will receive 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the community reach 10,000 approvals, the rewards will 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 need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.
