Niantic has launched an exciting new event in Pokémon Go called the Wayfarer Challenge, giving trainers in Chile and India the opportunity to influence their local game environment while earning exclusive rewards. The event is scheduled to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India.
During the Wayfarer Challenge, participants can review and approve Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform. By contributing to the community effort, you can help introduce new PokéStops and Gyms to the game, enhancing the local Pokémon Go experience. Nominations can include real-world landmarks, sculptures, street art, and other notable locations.
As you review nominations, you'll work towards reaching collective milestones. If the community manages to resolve 5,000 nominations, everyone who participates will receive 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the community achieve 10,000 approvals, the rewards 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 the rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one of the milestones must be reached.
Running concurrently with the Wayfarer Challenge, the PokéStop Challenge will take place from March 9th to 12th, exclusively in Chile and India. This event offers additional incentives such as 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 provide opportunities to encounter Eevee, and Timed Research will offer chances to catch other Pokémon.
