What’s up with the powerspots?

Hello,

Here’s some info on Power Spots that may be helpful:

@cyndiepooh

Wayspots that are not eligible to be Pokestops or gyms still have the potential to be used as Power Spots. It appears that there is a 22m distance requirement from any Pokestop or gym for it to be used this way, and it seems there is a limit of two active Power Spots per L14 S2 cell, the same size used to determine gyms. The schedule for syncing in new Power Spots is not on a daily basis. The last few syncs have been on the 4th of the month.

Power Spots also show up infrequently, as there is no known timeframe as to when one that has disappeared will reappear again. And just because they are orange exclamation points on the nomination map doesn’t mean they have been removed; they most likely are still on the map, but just haven’t been used or are within 22m of a stop/gym. We also don’t know if there is a minimum distance Power Spots have to be from each other, just a distance from stops/gyms.
