Pokémon Go PokéStop Nominations: How To Submit PokeStops And ...

What happened after you've submitted a PokéStop nomination in Pokémon Go

You'll receive a confirmation email once you've successfully submitted a PokéStop nomination.

Your nomination will then be reviewed by a community of nomination reviewers chosen by Niantic. At launch this was a dedicated team, but as time went on, this shifted to the official Niantic Wayfarer community to help process applications.

Niantic puts no guarantee on when you'll hear about whether your nomination has been successful or not. Depending on the level of review required and the number of nominations they receive, it could be anything from several weeks to a couple of months.

If you're nomination is accepted, then you will receive a congratulations email. It should be noted, however, that not all PokéStop nominations, even the eligible ones, will appear live in Pokémon Go. Your nomination could, however, appear in other Niantic games, such as Ingress and Harry Potter Wizards Unite.

In our experience, we've waited a week or two for a successful nomination, and sometimes don't hear back if it was rejected - however, this might be because it is folded into a similar PokéStop nomination from another player that was either accepted or denied.

Also, it's possible your nomination will be a Gym, or will transform an existing nearby PokéStop into a Gym when added to the game. The nominating player, nor those processing the applications, have control over this, as it is done automatically based on the density of Stops in a given area to ensure there is an even spread across the game.

Either way - it's exciting to know you're fleshing out the game and offering new points of interest for other players to explore. Fingers crossed your nomination is successful!

The Precious Pals event is currently running! Make sure you the January event and raid schedules. Remote Trading has been released in Pokémon Go! You can get a shiny Keldeo thanks to the Masterwork Research: Pony Tales quest and there's also the new Precious Paths Special Research quest. There's a lot to do in Pokémon Go outside of the current event! First, it's worth learning about the level update. After this, you might want to fight in the Go Battle League, use Party Play, compete in a PokéStop Showcase or explore a Route for its Gift Exchange. Keep an eye out for rare Pokémon and don't forget to collect Max Particles, so you can battle Dynamax Pokémon in Max Battles.
