if the location of the wayspot is incorrect, it can be moved. if the location is correct, but you just want to change it for the purposes of Pokemon Go, this is abuse and not allowed. ---

In Pokemon Go, click on the pokestop, then the arrow at the top right, then the three dots at the top right, then Edit Location. For gyms, you first ckick on the gym’s image at top left, then the arrow at the top right, then the three dots at the top right, then Edit Location. This is for edits below 10m. For anything further than that or for wayspots that don’t appear in Pokemon Go, you need to use Help Chat. I haven’t used that so am not confident in explaining that method. ---

Le Pokéstop est bien placé c’est le POI marqué par un point d’exclamation qui mérite d’être déplacé (point d’exclamation = pas Pokéstop) ---

if that isn’t a live pokestop or powerspot which you can access from Pokemon Go, you can use Help Chat. Alternatively, it looks like using Web Report from [Niantic Wayfarer](https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/mapview) is an option. Find the wayspot, click on it, click Web Report and enter what you need to say. ---

Help chat is very easy to use. Go to [https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help](https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help) and tap on the text box that comes up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/1/9/19ebaaef40a8d2c93eb0962a4830cc3fea5db597.png) A bot will ask for information. Choose the option for location edits (ignore the distance) and follow the prompts. Providing a geotagged photo for evidence can help if the actual location is not clear on Maps. A human will get back to you with a reply later in the chat box. It does not start an email chain. > [@JBoy823](#): > > The place was aproved as a pokestop I am still confused by this statement. Nominations are approved as _Wayspots_, not as Pokestops. Whether it will become a Pokestop has other factors Niantic has allowed me to try to explain here: > [@Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go/106925): > > I have this written up for when I see a #wheresmypokestop question. I know the in-game prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Web Submit form does use the word “wayspot” instead. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. The S2 cell use has not been officially confirmed as far as I am aware, but staff has acknowledged there is an additional step after acceptance. This is a good… ---

Just to confirm, if the wayspot (exclamation mark) is correct in the real world, moving it even to an equally correct location just to get it in to the game can be classed as Abuse and can lead to suspensions on both your wayfarer and game accounts. Only try location edits where the waypoint is incorrect in the real world… Good luck ---

Merci beaucoups, j’ai juste une dernière question: Les POI comme celui (point exclamation) sont utilisés dans Pokemon Go comme source pour les combats Dynamax ? J’aimerais savoir comment sont choisis et suggérés les points pour les combats Dynamax ---

It is believed that powerspots get added from wayspots that are at least 22m from the nearest active wayspot. The powerspot sync is not as often as the pokestop sync. ---

The Wayfarer Discussion Discord has been trying to research which Wayspots are used as Power Spots. There seems to be a 22m distance from any other Pokestop or gym requirement for a Wayspot in an occupied cell to be potentially added to the pool of Power Spots. The pool does not seem to be updated daily like Pokestops and gyms. They tend to be added once a month around the fourth of the month if they are going to be. ---

Submit things at the correct location - the wayspots will then get picked up for use in Pokemon Go without you having to ask for this. ---

I used to be allowed to provide the link here, but the last times I have, it has been removed. If you search “wayfarer tools” then you will find a page with an invite. Links to third party tools aren’t allowed on the forum, so they started removing the link to the discord server, too. But the members there include a lot of the ambassadors, and abuse is not tolerated, for anyone who thinks “tools” = “cheating”. Mod edit: Removed the screenshot from a third party platform ---

@cyndiepooh is correct - I tested “wayfarer discord” and cannot see the hoped-for result. “wayfarer tools” took me straight to the website @cyndiepooh recommended [_showed a screenshot of_], so that may be a better option to recommend. ---

@ScopelyExpAaron I won’t post the screenshot again if you don’t want it on the forum. I used to be allowed to post screenshots as long as I didn’t link to tools, but maybe I misunderstood @ScopelyExpAtlas again.
