Pokemon Go Power Up PokeStops and Gyms Feature

Trainers, new details about the Power Up PokeStops and Gyms feature are revealed and appears like we will be able to level up PokeStops and Gyms through AR scans and reach different levels and rewards.

A new Pokemon Go feature that allows players to Power Up PokeStop and Gym is on the way and all players will get the bonuses at these PokeStops or Gyms.

We can level up a PokeStop or Gym through AR scans and reach Level 1, 2, and 3. Each level has different rewards, and there are different bonuses for each level up.
