Gyms are colored based on which {{OBP|team|GO}} has Pokémon deployed to defend it. Controlled Gyms may be blue for [[Blanche|Team Mystic]], yellow for [[Spark (GO)|Team Instinct]], or red for [[Candela|Team Valor]]. A controlled Gym will have the most recently deployed defending Pokémon on top of the tower marking the Gym. If a Gym tower is white, that Gym is currently not controlled by any team, meaning that a player from any team can claim it.

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. 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 any battle. [[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.

Pokémon also cannot be deployed into a Gym that is currently "under attack". When a Pokémon gets knocked out from a Gym, a 10-minute timer will initiate, during which no new defenders can be deployed to that Gym. If a subsequent Pokémon gets knocked out during this 10-minute period, the timer does not reset.
