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 contribute to the game's world by reviewing and approving Wayspot nominations on the Niantic Wayfarer platform, ultimately helping to introduce new PokéStops and Gyms while earning exclusive rewards.

The Wayfarer Challenge is scheduled to run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, trainers can nominate real-world locations such as landmarks, sculptures, and street art to become part of the Pokémon Go universe. By participating in this event, you can actively shape your local gaming environment.

As you review nominations, you'll be working towards community milestone goals. If the community resolves 5,000 nominations, all participants will be rewarded with 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the community reach 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. If you're new to the platform, completing the Wayfarer Orientation is required before you can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you must have played in Chile or India recently or set your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location to one of these countries. To qualify for the rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one milestone must be achieved.
