Hello Trainers! The PokéMiners have done a mini teardown on Niantic Campfire and found some interesting stuff.
💡 Disclaimer: You know the drill by now, everything in this article is data mined, and therefore subject to change or not even being released at all. All of this information is publicly provided by the PokéMiners and includes some of my commentaries.
Release
First off, Niantic officially announced that Campfire would be releasing via a global rollout in the coming days! They tout the app as a way for trainers to more easily communicate with each other, discover new communities, and enjoy local raid battles. Trainers will even be able to add a “Flare” to a raid to indicate they would like to participate, and alert nearby trainers. So much to look forward to!
Now let’s take a look at what the PokéMiners found!
Campfire Assets
As this is a brand new app you can imagine they found a lot of assets, so they’ve picked out the best ones. Poor Transformers…
The bottom row seems interesting, I imagine the number on the wayspot icons are the number of trainers interested in participating in the raid at that gym? If so, that’s really awesome.

There is an activity map that speculation is will show what trainers around you are catching and where, making it easy to identify nests nearby.
