I just made my first pokestop yesterday looks like its time to make a gym 😂

[Project_K-]

Come on, Daxi, it's not random.
The Pokéstop that is upgraded to the gym is the one that has more points than the others within that S14.
Each photo counts as one point and the same goes for each like. So, a pokéstop with 3 photos where the first photo has 7 likes, the second has 5 likes and the third has 2 likes, it has a total of 17 points.
If you want to boost a specific stop to become a gym, you need to upload more photos and ask your community to like each photo so that you can outrank other stops.
I've been using this method for a long time to make sure that the more relevant places, like public gardens, plazas, etc, become gyms, instead of some random graffitis or mailboxes.

The only one that you can't choose is when you just have one stop on an S14 cell and you manage to add another. The older stop will automatically become the gym.

3:13 I had 2 cases:
I made sure the Pokestop that I wanted to become the 3rd Gym in the Level 14 S2 Cell had overall the most different Pokestop pictures and most Thumbs-up in that Cell, before I nominated the crucial Pokestop for the Gym to appear. The first time it worked but the second time a random existing Pokestop with 1 Picture and 0 Thumbs-up became the new Gym in that cell.
The only way I could explain it is that in that cell was another Pokestop with same amount of overall different Pokestop pictures and Thumbs-up in that Cell. So the game chose a random existing Pokestop to become the new gym.

yo Daxi when are you making a "How to Prepare for Go Wild Area" video ?

[Demoninst]

I've been getting stops and gyms in my area thanks to your help! Very informational

As someone who has the platinum medal for 1500 wayfarer agreements… it’s well worth putting in some time if you’re nominating local waypoints.

3:13 although there aren't much evidence of that being true online, i made a gym next to my area by adding photos + telling friends to get more thumbs ups (than other pokstops in the same lvl 14 s2 cell)

Speaking of gyms:

1) It's a bit annoying how Dynamax raids don't count towards a raid count for research tasks
2) I love how Niantic has specific rules about what can and can't be a stop nomination, yet the tobacco/cigar shop I go to became a Dynamax gym.

Great video Daxi. But as a joke: why are you not holding a Instinct gym in your thumbnail? 😝 You are holding a Mystic and a Valor (my team) Gym, and those rival Instinct. (Just a joke for teams)

[filippoc]

20 stops for a third gym are way too many…
I wish it was like 10-15

[LifesMike]

Submissions get denied right away then accepted after you appeal them. The process they have sucks and gets trolled way to easy with some auto clickers

[Thoraxe]

Need that go wild video so I know if I should buy a ticket

[juniorg]

can you do it for Apple as well or should it be the same?

[dddave]

Steps after steps after steps..
And then I realised my nomination is rejected..

[nixequestrian]

This was perfect! Thank you so much- now I can try maximizing the number of stops & gyms in the local raid & special event spot!
I have noticed that stops have been placed in such a way that they minimize the number of POIs in the S2 cells in my local area- is there a way to get the actual location point of these older stops reviewed/edited so they are in an accurate position, but moved to a slightly different position on the map to free up an adjoining cell or cells & allow for other POIs to be nominated?
ie. instead of one older POI/stop taking up 2 or 3 cells due to the placement of it right on the line or corner, it gets moved slightly into a cell, so POI's in the other cells can then be nominated & have a chance to become stops or gyms.

That's not random. If you want to have one pokestop to be a gym. You have to go to Ingress, and there you have to like the pokestop that you want to be a gym. Then the pokestop who have the more like will be a gym. If you want that the new pokestop will be the gym, it is the same because the pokestop will appear faster on ingress than on pokemon go and then you can like it before itappear on pokemon go!

I got lucky were one of my pokestops got turned into a power spot.

[naterudamas]

How does this make sense when certain places hace like 20 gyms and pokestops next to each other? They're not even sponsored pokestops or gyms....

[mr_snorlax_]

Daxi, ive got a question, when i have a niantic kids account what do I have to do to have my progress on account in pokemon trainer club to create pokestops and gyms?

[voltzSAD]
