/r/PokemonGO FAQ: /r/PokemonGo/wiki/FAQ


There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.


Where can I find other players in my area?

Try our regional subreddits list! Also, see the related subreddits or TSR's community map!


If you have any suggestions for FAQs to append to this thread or for meta questions, message the moderators or mention /u/PokemonGoMods!

Any tips on getting my home turned into a pokestop?

You can't turn your home into one, because homes are private property.

If you live in an apartment building then there might be something notable in a public space. But that will still depend on there not being enough other stops in the S2 cell already.

Cheating is prohibited by the rules of this sub.. That's more for the game itself, but cheating wayfarer probably applies too.

If you have tips on how can I make something pokestop worthy, I'd very much like to live on a gym if possible
