The Gym defense reward is a real time reward. This means that if you ''Add a Pokémon'' to a friendly gym, your reward counter will immediately ''rise'' by one. Conversely, if a friendly Gym's prestige falls low enough that a defending Pokémon you own is sent back to you, your reward counter immediately ''falls'' by one. | The Gym defense reward is a real time reward.

After you collect the Gym defense reward, the option collect it again is locked out for 21 hours. The lockout timer is an unconditional 21 hours, regardless of whether you add new Pokémon to friendly Gyms or have defending Pokémon sent back to you in the meantime. The 21 hour counter does not reset even if ''all'' of your Pokémon are returned to you (meaning your Gym defense reward counter is 0). | After you collect the Gym defense reward, the option to collect it again is locked out for 21 hours.

''When'' to collect the Gym defense reward is left as an exercise to the Pokémon Go trainer -- a balance between how widely your powerful Pokémon are spread amongst friendly Gyms (maximizing your counter and its reward) with how long you believe they will last defending said gyms (which reduces that counter and the reward). | ''When'' to collect the Gym defense reward is left as an exercise to the Pokémon Go trainer -- a balance between how widely your powerful Pokémon are spread amongst friendly Gyms (maximizing your counter and its reward) with how long you believe they will last defending said gyms (which reduces that counter and the reward). | ||
