⚠️ A clarification has been issued by Niantic: the "Global Score" tracked in the Forum Post only monitors Agent-Deployed Battle Beacons. For this reason, we updated our graph to include scores from the cities where Niantic deployed Battle Beacons. A red indicator will mark where those scores are incorporated.

Including the score from NIA-chosen cities in the APAC region, the global score is now:

ENL: 552,856
RES: 420,496
