Can a power stop and a poke stop exist in the same s2 cell? A new stop was recently added and when the pokestop appeared, the powerstop despawned; however, the pokemon I left in the power spot still seems to be there.
Welcome to the forum!
We have been trying to figure out Powerspot behavior on the Wayfarer Discussion Discord. I can confirm a Powerspot can exist in the same L17 S2 cell as a Pokestop or gym, but other folks have figured out that there appears to be a 22m distance requirement. If the new Pokestop is too close to the Powerspot, the Powerspot should not reappear after its current rotation. You should get your Pokemon to return, but if it doesn’t, you should be able to recall it.

oh no! thats aweful. I hope its not to close then. I’d much rather have the power stop back than another pokestop.
Following up. The stop did end up getting moved over 22m away; however, the powerstop never returned.
Power Spots haven’t synced in awhile; I believe the last sync was around May 4th or 5th. We really don’t know when there will be another Power Spot sync, as they seem to be sporadic.
I can say that a Wayspot that’s in the same L17 cell as another Wayspot that’s already a stop is going to open up as a Power Spot tomorrow where I’m currently staying (I submitted it last year). I also know of another Wayspot in the same cell that I submitted that’s also used as a Power Spot from time to time. It’s just the 22m from an existing stop/gym that has been observed, not that there can’t be a stop/gym and Power Spot in the same L17 cell.
