Submitting a PokéStop or Gym Contribution – Pokémon GO Guide

Players who’ve reached level 40 can suggest improvements to an in-game location’s title, description, real-world location, or photo directly from the Pokémon GO app.* You can also report an invalid PokéStop that doesn’t meet our acceptance criteria. Note: You do not need to be in range to interact with the PokéStop or Gym—you simply must be able to see it somewhere on your screen. 

To Suggest a Title, Description, or Location Improvement:

Tap a PokéStop or Gym from the Map View.

Tap the arrow in the top right corner of the Photo Disc screen. 

Tap the three dots in the top right of the PokéStop/Gym details screen.

Select from the available options. 

Complete the next screen by entering the correct title or description, or when editing location, tap and drag the map until the marker is in the correct location.

To Suggest a Photo:

Tap ADD PHOTO.

Select TAKE PHOTO to take a photo using your device’s camera or EXISTING PHOTO to select a photo from your device’s storage.

Once you’ve selected your photo, tap SUBMIT to submit your candidate photo for review.

Note: While the image may appear cropped on the confirmation screen, submitted photos do retain their original aspect ratio, either Portrait or Landscape.

To Report an Invalid Location

Select REPORT INVALID POKÉSTOP / GYM

Select the reason you’re reporting the PokéStop or Gym from the list of potential reasons. 

Note: If you or someone you know believe an in-game location should be removed from Pokémon GO, you can also use this webform to submit a removal request. *Some contribution features are currently only available in certain regions.
