Gym Level

gym level 1
Players can raise their gym level by training!

By raising gym level, players can position more Pokemon in their gym so it will become difficult for the other players to win over and the gym holder can earn many defense bonuses.

This article will introduce how to the raise gym level!
gym level 2
First, gym that player can use for “training” are gym that are owned by the same team as the player.
If the player challenges the gym that’s owned by the other team, it will just be normal “Gym Battle”!

When the player tap a gym, at the very top, there will be the name of the gym and below that, Gym Level will be shown on the screen.

At the lower left, there will be the Prestige of the gym.
When the Prestige fills up the fraction, Gym Level will rise.

By looking at this fraction, players can see how long it takes for the gym to rise to next level.

Player can train by tapping “Start Training” at the lower right.

Differences from the Normal Gym Battle

Only ONE Pokemon are allowed to use!

When the player challenges other teams’ gym, they can choose 6 Pokemon however, only one Pokemon are allowed to choose in training mode.

This means that player have to win through the battle only by one Pokemon.
It is a severe contest, but players are able to earn tons of XP after winning this battle.

Pokemon will not be fainted when they lose in training!

In normal Gym Battle, Pokemon condition will be “fainted” when they lose, but in training, they will not be fainted.
Players don’t have to use Revive and only required to use Potion for restoring back Pokemon to full HP.

Weaker the Pokemon is, more XP the players can earn!

When the players use strong Pokemon for training, it will be easy for them to win, but earnings of XP and Prestige will be low.
To earn those two more efficiently, players should use Pokemon that’s weak, but has advantage by type and/or move.

Players should focus on earning XP and Prestige, rather than just winning the battle.
gym level 3
When we trained choosing Pokemon that has double amount of CP than the competitor, we only were able to earn 10XP.
Even though we were able to win the battle, this is too inefficient.
gym level 4
When we trained choosing Pokemon that is weaker than the competitor, we were able to earn 53XP.
By thinking about the type and/or move, players can win even if the competitor has lead by CP.
gym level 5
When we trained choosing Pokemon that has near CP as the competitor, we earned 21XP.
In order to earn XP and Prestige more efficiently, players are recommended to choose weaker Pokemon.

gym level 6
Our Gym Level went up since we’ve collected enough Prestige. Now we are able to position another Pokemon.

We’ve positioned another Pokemon by tapping the button at the lower left right off!

There are circles and crown marks beneath the Gym Level. These are the numbers of the Pokemon positioned at the gym.

By flicking the screen right and left, players can check all the positioned Pokemon.

The order is decided by the Pokemon’s CP, so if the players positions weak Pokemon, they are easily defeated by the other team and will be difficult to earn defense bonus.

It is important to position high CP Pokemon and have other players from the same team to position their Pokemon in order to earn defense bonus.
