Question about Pokémon Gyms and the S2 Level 14 Cell rules/ Duda sobre los gimnasios pokémon y el método de creación de celdas S2 nivel 14

Hi again everyone! :smiley:

A couple of months ago, I asked how to create another gym, and many of you shared the S2 level 14 cell method with me. Over the last few months, I’ve been working on improving the gameplay experience for my university community by adding PokéStops around campus—going from just 1 PokéStop to 6 (and possibly 7 soon!).

Based on the rules, another gym should spawn in the cell with this many points of interest. However, I just noticed that there was already a second gym in the cell before even meeting the criteria!

I’m not sure what happened—whether it’s a bug, an old legacy gym from years ago, or something else. I’d love to know if this will affect anything or if I’ll still be able to get another gym as I originally planned.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I’m still pretty new to submitting points of interest!.

(You can see the other point on the official Niantic map screenshot, even if it’s not visible on the POGO map. That’s the gym I mean!)
En español:

Hola de nuevo a todos :D, hace un par de meses pregunte sobre como podría hacer otro gimnasio, muchos me compartieron el método de las celdas S14, estos últimos meses me eh puesto a mejorar las condiciones de juego para la comunidad de mi universidad (poniendo poképaradas al rededor del campus) pasando de solo 1 pokeparada a actualmente 6 y posiblemente 7, se supone que con esto en la celda debería aparecer otro gimnasio, sin embargo me di cuenta que en la celda antes de cumplir los criterios ¡Ya había un segundo gimansio!, no entiendo que paso, si es algún bug, o un gimnasio que estuvo ahí desde hace años, pero me gustaría saber si esto afectará en algo o si podré sacar un segundo gimnasio como lo tenía planeado antes, disculpen si la pregunta es tonta, soy algo nuevo en la cuestión de poner puntos de interés.
(en la imagen del mapa oficial de niantic pueden ver como hay otro punto aunque no salga en el mapa de POGO, ese es el gimnasio al que me refiero)


Is it sponsored cell? Sponsored cell count towards maximum alowable gym.

Can you leave the coordinate? Please understand that this is public forum if you dont want to leave coordinate

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure, though I’ve seen sponsored PokéStops before. There aren’t any here, but I’ll share the coordinates anyway so you can take a look. Honestly, any help to improve gameplay for our growing campus community is greatly appreciated!

South of the highway is a garden place that looks like it’s used for social events. A few places nearby also look like event venues.

There might also be art there. The auto repair buisness has a cool painted mural logo. It seems like there might be a restaurant near there too. This looks artistic

The neighborhoods to the west have many park areas that can be added and some of the entrances have artistic things .

In the neighborhood south of the college there is a park. The basketball court is misplaced and should be moved using the help chat. There are probably other things to add in the park including that building that looks like a social area.

The sports field at the college looks like it has a logo painted in the center and there might be mural art nearby. These stairs look rainbow painted and there is some kind of soccer thing across the highway.

“Entrada fenadu” should be moved so it is actually on the sign.

Mr. Gotcha paintball game is nearby and there is also a restaurant there.

Thank you for the suggestions! As soon as I get a chance, I’ll make the corrections you suggested and try to explore the surrounding areas a bit more.

( Ishould clarify that my main goal is to improve the areas around both university campuses, since that’s really where our community is growing.) Sometimes on important days—like GO Fest Legends Week—many people in the community can’t leave the campus, or even make it to the university gym because it’s a bit far from the main buildings and entrances. That’s exactly why I want to improve the immediate surroundings. Your feedback will be super helpful for this, thanks!

The S2 L14 cell has 8 active wayspots and two gyms, which is correct.

One of the wayspots was approved on 22nd July 2026, but there were already 7 active wayspots before that.

It is best to use Niantic Wayfarer to look at wayspots, as the map you are using has to be updated manually by users.
