So, how exactly are gyms created in Pokemon GO? We’ve got all the info you need right here!

The Magic Behind Pokemon GO Gyms

Gyms in Pokemon GO don’t just appear out of thin air. They are usually located at places of interest, like monuments, landmarks, or public artworks. These spots are chosen based on data from various mapping services and user contributions.

Initially, the locations for these gyms were inherited from another game developed by Niantic called Ingress. Players of Ingress submitted locations they thought were interesting, and many of these submissions became PokeStops and gyms in Pokemon GO. Over time, the community of Pokemon GO players has continued to contribute by suggesting new locations for gyms through the game’s support system.
