No, it’s part of catching Pokémon in AR+ mode

There is an option to submit a new picture to a Poke stop/Gym if the old one is bad, blurry or if the Poke stop/Gym doesn’t look like that anymore. I did that to a Gym named Old tennis court mural because the old mural was replaced by a new one. Several months have passed and recently I found out that now I can vote for the best picture. I wanted other players from my town to vote, too. But to be able to vote you must be level 38+. I asked one of the players who can vote and he did it. However our votes are not enough to change the picture. I can’t see how many votes each picture has. So, I need more people to vote for my picture. Today I learned on Reddit that people can vote for pictures through gifts.
I want to test this. I will send gifts from the Old tennis court mural to all of my friends from the forum (@bobbyjack8 @Brobraam @celery @Cup @Jormdeworm @MrHeineken88 @Necrozmadabest). Please vote for my picture (see below).

I’ll try it out. Don’t think I have opened your last gift yet, though.

@Branebs Yep, can confirm… the gift I received already had your photo as the default 
.
I gave it another vote - just to cement its position

You can sort of manipulate which Stop will become a Gym in a Cell that already has 1 Gym and 4 Stops when getting a 6th Poi the same way.
Just get as many people to like the pic as possible on the one you want before getting the 6th Poi accepted.

The new event with Galarian Slowpoke has a very small collection challenge, featuring a regular Slowpoke, Galarian Slowpoke, and what looks like regular Slowbro and regular Slowking with atomic symbols beside them. What are those last two supposed to be? Catching a wild Slowbro didn’t count for it (no real surprise – but I can’t find any instructions that tell us what it is…)
Where can I find the key to interpreting game symbols like this that aren’t mentioned in the pokemongolive.com bulletins?
The symbols indicate one must evolve them.

Thanks. That means we have to make them our buddy and catch a bunch of poison-type mons? Just wonderful. That would mean we get to (i.e. are forced to) sideline the buddy tasks we’re already working on, because this is on a deadline…
No, the two you have to evolve are the regular Slowbro and Slowking, The new one is the fourth in the row, and you have to make only a Raid to get him (or one of these special investigations)

Which special investigation gives Skull Cap Slowbro?
I’d rather not have to waste a Raid Pass for Rubbish T1

• Evolve 3 Slowpoke
• Win a raid in under 60 seconds
Looks like the first one is your best bet, as the second one uses that Raid Pass anyway
