Pokestop valided but not appear

Hi, my Pokéstop was accepted, but it doesn’t appear in the game. This is the second time this has happened in this area.


This new PokéStop is very important to the local community and the nearest existing Wayspot is more than 50 meters away. The other one is a park, which is relatively large, so if this is an S2 cell issue, perhaps its location could be adjusted. Furthermore, this new PokéStop was approved directly by the Niantic team, so it’s even harder to understand why it doesn’t appear in the game.

I don’t understand the point of approving Wayspots if they are never going to appear in the game. Is there any solutions ?

Thank you for your help, have a nice day !

Hello,

The Waypoint is in the same cell as “Parc des Tamariguers” so will not be used as a Pokestop or Gym.

It may be used as a Dynamax Power Spot on rotation.

ps: 50 metres is not a long distance, you could spin that from your wayspot :slight_smile:

This is the full L14 Cell (Red outline) for the area.

You can see the occupied (grey highlight) L17 cells (green outline) .

The wayspot above and right of yours looks like it will be a Pokestop so you will only need 1 more to for 1 to turn in to a Gym.

Note: Never use knowledge of the cells to mis-place wayspots to get them in to the game. This is seen as Abuse and can lead to warnings / suspension on both Wayfarer and GAMES accounts.

Any named Trails or Picnic Areas in the woods to the North of you?

Thanks for all you reply which website do you use to see that ?

Yes, on the North on the left there is a horse-riding and pedestrian way going to the kentucky ranch, but there is no panel.

Thanks for the reply I understand now.

I wasn’t speaking of misplacing the park is huge but it’s ok now i understand that it can be a dynamax spot too. I just didn’t understand why they would accept something if it’s not useful

I wasn’t implying you was but we get many replies to these type of posts where the OP then asks “Can I move it up the map a bit to get it on Pokemon Go” so I always like to give the warning. Don’t want to cause someone to lose their account :frowning:

You have to remember that Wayfarer is not just for Pokemon Go, other games use them and we never know what the future will bring. It wasn’t that long that Dynamax Powerspots where not a thing so these at least give wayspots a 2nd shot.

It is accepted in to Wayfarer and that is where Wayfarer ends. Each game will then have it’s own proximity rules to determine if it will be used in that game.

It is the standard Wayfarer Map with added tools to show cells etc. We are not allowed to link to external tools but a search for “Wayfarer Tools” should help. It will also include a link to the Discord Channel where these can be discussed.

Good Luck

It could take up to 48 hours for it to appear in-game.
