Request to Upgrade a PokéStop into a Gym

Hello,

I am an active Pokémon GO player and really enjoy the game. In my area there are several PokéStops, but none of them are Gyms. I would like to kindly request that one of the local PokéStops be upgraded to a Gym, so that players in our area can enjoy raids and more in-game activities.

Thank you very much!

I can see that you have a gym just down the road.

We can’t control where gyms pop up, so you can’t request that specific stops turn into gyms. But you can submit additional items in your area in the hope of creating more gyms over time - but they could be anywhere.

Someone will link to the topic that shows you how cells work which will give alot more detail

  1. I believe this is not a Wayfarer issue, and are not any related to Wayspot.

  2. Not like to be rude, but the game is named Pokemon Go. It is the game you should walk and GO.

  3. Gym creation is based on the number of Pokestop in a specific area. You can read this article: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

Hello and welcome @333955414445

Selecting what becomes a gym doesn’t work like you are thinking.

It is an automatic process using a set of mapping tools and some rules. It can be complex but if you could provide the location ( co ordinates work best t) we could give an answer relevant to you.

it would benefit you if you read this article

It’s a bit technical at times but it is useful to understand as it underpins a lot of how wayspots are selected by Pokémon Go.

Do ask and we will try to explain.

I am also moving this to the General Discussion area as it is not clear when you post here where the best place is to ask.:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
