A PokéStop (Japanese: ポケストップ PokéStop) is a type of location in Pokémon GO.
Locating PokéStops
PokéStops are fixed locations in the real world that players must physically visit to obtain items. PokéStops are generally in public locations, including (but not limited to) public artwork/murals, libraries, famous landmarks, churches, police stations, fire stations and public parks. While players must be physically close to PokéStops to collect items, they generally do not need to enter the building to be close enough (if the PokéStop is a building).
If for some reason a physical location is unsuitable as a PokéStop, players may send a request to Niantic via the Pokémon GO web site to remove it from the game. This could be due to safety concerns or if there is an error related to the PokéStop (the landmark no longer exists, never existed in the first place, or has been converted to a different use such as a private residence).
Visiting PokéStops
Players may visit PokéStops to collect items which are generated at random. These items may include Poké Balls, Pokémon Eggs, Potions, Revives, Berries, etc.
PokéStops are marked on a player's map as blue cubes floating on the map. When the player is close enough to collect from the PokéStop, the cube will turn into a Poké Ball symbol. After a player has collected from a PokéStop, it will turn purple until enough time has passed for the player to collect from it again. PokéStops will regenerate items within 5-10 minutes.
When a player taps on the cube, it will show the name of the PokéStop and a photo of it. If a player taps the name, it will show a larger version of the photo and will occasionally include a description of the location explaining what it is or what its significance is in the real world.
To collect from a PokéStop, the player must tap on it when they are within range and spin the circle which has a photo of the PokéStop on it. This will cause the items to appear which the player must tap to collect them.
While within range of a PokéStop, players may also add Lure Modules to the PokéStop. Lure Modules will increase the likelihood of wild Pokémon appearing close to the PokéStop for 30 minutes after it is placed. This impacts all nearby players of Pokémon GO and not just the player who placed the Lure Module.
