Missing pokestops

[Dig1tal01]

I’ve noticed there’s a lot of wayspots in the area but none of them are pokestops. Most of them are in separate s2 cells so I don’t know why they aren’t pokestops

Hi @Dig1tal01
Welcome to the forum
I’ve moved your topic to General Discussion because the category Wayspot Appeals is for appealing rejected removal requests or to ask for reinstating removed wayspots.

Most likely, these are imported to be Power Spots for Pokemon Go:

Clarifications on Pokémon Go Power Spots

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 Power Spots. They are different locations than Pokéstops and Gyms. Where are Power Spots coming from? How are Power Spots chosen? Similarly to Pokéstops and Gyms, Power Spots are built upon the Nianti…

I hate that they decided to add these to the nomination map, since they are not truly Wayspots. And since they are not truly Wayspots, they cannot become Pokestops or gyms.

If you find one of these for something that would be eligible to be a true Wayspot, then you can submit it.

A sign that they are imports is that the photo is missing and it has just a placeholder image. But since people can submit photos through edits, that is not always true.
