One of the most common things Pokemon Go fans stumble across whileplaying outside is PokeStops, which are in-game signposts that provide helpful features.
Every PokeStop is marked by some kind of real-world location, which players read a brief description of. Whentraveling around to places like museums, historical sites, or memorials, sometimes these PokeStops can be a bit morbid.

Aposton the Pokemon Gosubredditasked the community a simple question: “What’s the darkest PokéStop/gift you’ve seen?”
The OP provided their own submission which featured a gift with the PokeStop simply called “Electric Chair” from Mansfield, Ohio. The gift came with a sticker that featured Pikachu giving a thumbs-up.
This sparked a discussion among fans who shared similarly morbid PokeStops they’ve stumbled across in the wild.
Many players praised the gallows humor of the trainer who sent the gift. “And a nice sticker to go with. I really like this gift,” said one Reddit user, while another said, “Pikachu is the executioner.”
Another player said, “We got one just labeled ‘urban decay’ and it’s nothing but a picture of graffiti and trash.”
