Hello Explorers, In response to the widespread interest in this subject, the Wayfarer and Pokémon Go teams came together with some response to your main questions. Let’s first align on the terminology. In Pokémon Go, those new locations where you can experience Dynamax and Gigantamax are called Po…

I did get the torn down Burger King that had a Power Spot removed once they changed the removal report to how we report Wayspots. Took a photo of the now empty lot, provided a link to it, and it doesn’t show up anymore.
