Wayfarer accepted but not integrated in the game

This has been accepted in March 2025 but the spot doesn’t show in PoGo yet. Why is this happening?

Hello and welcome,

It may not meet the inclusion rules of PoGo. PoGo uses S2 cells, with 1 Wayspot per L17 S2 cells; gyms are within the larger L14 S2 cells. More info can be found here:

Feel free to provide the location of this Wayspot, and someone can check to see if it meet the rules to be included.

This Wayspot is not eligible to appear in Pokémon GO.

While some nominations may be deemed eligible by the community of reviewers on Niantic Wayfarer for inclusion into Niantic’s location database, they may not necessarily be added into every Niantic game. After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.

The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.

Hope it helps.

Happy exploring!
