    I couldn’t find the Gym at first, which is why I reported it for removal. The case was closed with the explanation that I didn’t provide sufficient evidence.

I later returned to the location and searched the area more thoroughly. It turns out the Gym is placed very inaccurately. It is not visible from the in-game marked location, and the actual sign is about 15 meters away, mounted on the side of a rock. It was covered in moss and dirt, which made it difficult to find.

I cleaned the sign and also submitted a scan video where I run from the in-game marked location to the actual position of the sign.

Unfortunately, there is no option (or I couldn’t find one) to report that a Gym is misplaced, so I reopened the case as a removal request. I would like to ask that the Gym be relocated. Please refer to the geotagged images I have uploaded here.

You can read about the background and how I eventually found the sign here:

Hi, have you tried using help chat to request the correction?


I haven’t, because I do most of my activities in the Pokémon GO app itself, and an option like this is not listed under PokéStops or Gyms. I’ve always wondered why Pokémon GO has so many different menus with very similar purposes, yet they are still kept separate.
