Gym (GO): Difference between revisions

If the Gym is of the player's team, they may feed Berries to defending Pokémon to increase their Motivation and CP, and if there are less than six Pokémon already defending it, they may deploy a Pokémon at full health to defend the Gym.  

Like [[PokéStop]]s, a player can search a Gym by spinning its Photo Disc to collect items and/or {{pkmn|Egg}}s and gain [[Trainer level|experience]]; the Photo Disc can be accessed by tapping the Photo Disc icon in the bottom right corner, then spinning the Gym's Photo Disc while within range. Once the player has spun a Gym's Photo Disc, it will turn purple for that player only for five minutes; the player cannot search a purple Photo Disc until it returns to the Gym's color again.

The first time a player visits a Gym and spins its Photo Disc, they will receive a Gym Badge for that Gym. All subsequent actions taken at that Gym—stationing a defending Pokémon, participating in a Raid Battle, spinning the Photo Disc, or battling a Pokémon—will reward the player Badge Experience to level up the Gym Badge through Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Each additional level of the Gym Badge rewards the player an additional item when using the PokéStop at that Gym and an additional 25 Trainer XP (before team bonuses are factored in). Items obtained as a Badge bonus are shown in a yellow bubble.

A Gym can house up to six defenders. If a player is in range of a Gym that is controlled by their team (or is not controlled by any team) and has fewer than six defenders, they can place one of their Pokémon that has full HP as a defender in the Gym; if the Gym is controlled and has been attacked in the last ten minutes, the player cannot place a Pokémon in the Gym due to it being under attack. The player's current [[Buddy Pokémon]] cannot be placed in a Gym. While in a Gym, Pokémon cannot be [[Evolution|evolved]], [[Power Up|Powered Up]], {{DL|Trade|Pokémon GO|traded}}, or used for battle at another Gym. [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]], except {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, cannot be placed to defend Gyms, but they can still be used to attack opposing Gyms and in Raid Battles.

If a player wins a [[Raid Battle]] at a Gym under their team's control, they will also receive two bonus [[Premier Ball]]s.

==Gym Battles==

[[File:Ice Beam GO.png|thumb|150px|A Pokémon battle at a Gym]]

When battling a Gym, the player selects a team of six Pokémon of their own to battle against the defending Pokémon. Each defending Pokémon defeated will award [[Trainer level|XP]] to both the player and their associated Gym's badge. Defeating only one defending Pokémon counts as a victory towards earning [[List of Medals in Pokémon GO|medals]] and completing certain [[Field Research]] tasks, regardless of how many of the player's Pokémon fainted. Conversely, each time a player's Pokémon is knocked out, it counts as a victory towards the Gym defender.  

After defeating a Pokémon, the player has ten seconds to decide whether to battle the next defender or leave. If the player leaves, it won't be considered as a player's defeat. If the player chooses to re-battle again, they will again start by battling the first defender in the lineup.
