Gyms are based on a selection of portals from the [[Niantic]] game {{wp|Ingress (video game)|Ingress}}. Until 2015, Ingress players could submit proposals for portals which subsequently had to be approved by Niantic. Gyms are less common than [[PokéStop]]s, which were also created from Ingress portals. This distribution was slightly balanced, after some [[PokéStop]]s were converted into Gyms on June 19, 2017. | Gyms are based on a selection of portals from the [[Niantic]] game {{wp|Ingress (video game)|Ingress}}.

If for some reason a physical location is unsuitable as a Gym, players may send a request to Niantic via the Pokémon GO website or Niantic Support official Twitter account to remove it from the game. This could be due to safety concerns or if there is an error related to the Gym (the landmark no longer exists, never existed in the first place, or has been converted to a different use such as a private residence). It should be noted that this is considered more than a simple movement of the stop with the old one removed from the game and the new position being considered a new PokéStop.

As a result, any active EX Raid invitations are revoked, but players will be compensated with five Premium Raid Passes and {{Stardust}}50,000. | ||

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. | ||

If a player does not already have a Gym's Badge, spinning its Photo Disc will award them the Gym Badge. | ||
Players always receive two or three random items from a Gym's Photo Disc, but can receive additional items from various bonuses. If the Gym is under the player's team's control, they will receive one additional item. Depending on the level of the player's Gym Badge, they can receive up to three additional items.

Gyms are colored based on which team 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. | Gyms are colored based on which team has Pokémon deployed to defend 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; 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. | A Gym can house up to six defenders.

If a player is in range of a Gym that is controlled by an opposing team, they can challenge it to lower the opposing Pokémon's motivation and attempt to remove them from the Gym. When a Pokémon loses a battle, its motivation decreases; while in a Gym, a Pokémon below maximum motivation has its CP decreased proportionally while it is in the Gym. (The Pokémon's CP is only decreased while it is in the Gym, and returns to normal once it returns to its Trainer.) When a Pokémon's motivation is 0 after being defeated, it leaves the Gym and returns to its Trainer fainted, giving a PokéCoin defender bonus based on how long it was in the Gym. | If a player is in range of a Gym that is controlled by an opposing team, they can challenge it to lower the opposing Pokémon's motivation and attempt to remove them from the Gym.
