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 enhance your local Pokémon Go experience by contributing to the game's environment while earning exclusive rewards.
The Wayfarer Challenge will take place from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During this period, players can nominate real-world locations like landmarks, sculptures, and street art to be transformed into PokéStops and Gyms within the game.
By participating in the review and approval of these nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you'll not only help shape your community's Pokémon Go map but also work towards achieving special milestone rewards. If the community manages to resolve 5,000 nominations, all participants will be rewarded with 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the effort reach 10,000 approvals, 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 recently played in Chile or India or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To be eligible for rewards, ensure you review at least 50 nominations, and at least one community milestone must be achieved.
Alongside the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge will run from March 9th to 12th, also exclusively in Chile and India. This event promises exciting bonuses, including 3x XP for visiting new PokéStops for the first time, 3x Stardust from opening Gifts, and increased chances of encountering Kecleon. Event Field Research will offer opportunities to encounter Eevee, while Timed Research tasks may lead to encounters with other Pokémon.
