I do the same! I also live in an apartment building that has 2 reachable gyms. I know other people in my building play and I feel like we have a certain rotation of taking over the two gyms at a time. We all mostly respect the 8 hours.
There are 3 apartment buildings (including mine) that surround a gym and it’s hilarious how everyone has an unspoken rule to let others stay in the gym for a few hours before we poach because Valor always has a stronghold on it since there are just more of us nearby. It’s also hilarious to see someone go around the neighborhood (I’m in a city) and convert every gym in a circle for their team, one by one
Another tip I can suggest is when your watching your gym getting attacked confuse your opponent by changing the pattern of feeding your golden razz. Meaning after two rounds feed it then after 2 times again feed it and then after the first round revive it again, I do a few second count down so it gives that glitch where it shows the previous round cp but when they fight it but at the moment they fight it I feed the golden razz so they think they fighting it one round weaker when it’s really fully revived. Hope I made sense typing this...
I've been wanting that for years. my local discord has monthly updated leaderboards and gold gyms badges is one of categories on the leaderboard. I have just about 300 gold gyms myself. I know some people with over 700. Counting each badge is a pain unless you're constantly keeping track of each new badge.
Trainer in Hong Kong love battle in gyms so me and my friends always set up different defend teams to hope that we can stay as long as we can, below are the teams that me and my friends always set: 1. Blissey zen headbutt+ psychic( psychic will better than dazz because the moves will damage faster) 2. Togekiss/gardevoir charm+ dazz/syn (its for defending machamp, because everyone will use it when attacking blissey, use togekiss/ gardevoir can stop it attack too fast) 3. Metagross bullet+meteor ( just same as video said, not many trainer bring ghost type, but i will bring my Giratina as my teammember) 4. Dragonite/Salamance rage/tail+claw/outrage ( it the attacker use ghost/ground to attack Metagross, dragon type can defend it easily) 5. chansey ( no need explain, I hate attack it if someone continue feed golden berry on it) 6. Snorlax/ Gyarados ( CP is high, for Gyarados if you dont bring any electric type in your team, Gyarados will become your nightmare) Hope this help trainer around the world =]
Yo here from hong kong as well, those crazy dudes use 4-6 phones do battle a gym and then non stop golden razz... crazy, so me and my friends usually do Blissey, fairy, chansey, metagross
Great job on defenders! Biggest suggestion I have would be to stagger defenders! If you have chansey in 1 spot and 2 spot my conkeldurr/machamps will wipe it out! Put chansey first, then gardevoir, then blissey. That means I have to switch attackers when I am battling that gym after the chansey.
As someone who is decent with gyms, I have some smaller tips that he didn't include- 1. When you're in a rush/driving, sort your Pokémon by HP. It'll automatically show you your highest HP Pokémon at the top of the list when you tap to add a Pokémon (but make sure your Pokémon are revived and healed up to full or else they won't show up at the top!) 2. If someone is trying to beat you out of a gym, wait until they've fought it twice (when the cp gets really low and it's 1 fight away from being knocked out) and then give it one *_AND ONLY ONE(!!!!!)_* GOLDEN RAZZ BERRY! Then, if they continue to fight it, wait until they've fought it twice, and then give it another *_ONE_* and if it continues just keep repeating this process. You can only feed a Pokémon 10 berries every 30 minutes, but if you time it right this method can keep your Pokémon in the gym without hitting the berry cap. (But also keep in mind that it depends on how fast they're able to beat your Pokémon - this will probably work best if you're using one of the Pokémon that he listed) 3. Please don't put your cp10 shiny in there- yeah it's cool or whatever but it's not helping and actually makes the gym weaker because that spot could have been used for an actual defender. If it's a remote gym that doesn't get attacked that often then it's fine, but please don't do it in a gym that's in the center of town, nobody's impressed. 4. If you're a lower level player and don't have many good gym defenders, any Pokémon you have that's around or above 1000cp will work, or a Vaporeon will work too as it's the beefiest eeveelution. You don't necessarily need to put in your strongest Pokémon, as long as whatever you put in has some bulk to it. That's about all that I can think of right now, if there are any other tips you know of feel free to post them in the replies!
I usually drop my gym defenders around midnight or any time that’s late so they’ll at least stay until the morning. I don’t really participate in gym battling during the day
I feel blissey and chansey should use psychic because it is harder to dodge and can charge faster. Gardevoir is good to have shadow ball to counter those metagross.
Another suggestion would be to place Gardevoir or any other charmers in between Blissey and Chansey because the attacker will need to switch out immediately their fighting types as Charm will quickly chunk away a big portion of the health.
That moment when you realize you got 30,000 points in a gym straight. I went from never had put a pokemon in a specific gym, to having the gold gym badge in that same gym
Sometimes, I throw in my Alomomola to throw off people. Also, when you are attacking gyms NEVER go through the entire lineup. Take them out one at a time. Yes, there is a glitch and if you change attackers, it oft reverts to the previous one, but just back out and go in the second time and it will remain steady. The other player receives a notification that their Pokemon needs a berry after you have knocked it down twice. Blissey and Chansey with the fairy and psychic moves do stink, but go at them with a Metagross. Yes, it takes longer to knock them out, but you will not lose as many Pokemon as you would if you went in with fighters. Also, have saved in your battle parties one with all fighting, one with all ice, and one with all Metagross. You can mow throw pretty much any Pokemon with one of these teams. Again, the key is to take them out one at a time. You have a better chance of knocking out the Pokemon before the player gets the warning that their Pokemon needs attention and you can go in with a counter that is specifically targeted at whatever Pokemon you are trying to knock out of the gym instead of just a general counter. Also, you need 8 hours and 20 minutes for fifty coins. You get one coin every ten minutes. Also, you can knock out a Pokemon that is being golden-berried, but you must do it quickly. They can only golden-berry ten times within twenty minutes. After that, their Pokemon will be full and cannot take more berries. That is another reason to always take them out one at a time; if you let there be too much time between attacks, they may get to continue feeding their Pokemon endlessly. Best luck.
Good tips for a city center gym where there are lots of people around. For those hidden away ones, rural ones, or late night ones that are less likely to get attacked before the 8 hours is up, you want pokemon with a high CP initially but easy to kill so that when people quickly look at the gym just after you have added someting they think its too high to bother with, but after the 8 hours is up they think thats easy. I offen use Gyarados - who wants to fight something over 3200 late at night, but in the morning an electric type like zapdos will just take it out in seconds. If you use a low CP to start, that pokemon will last for at least 2 rounds of fighting which is no good - you want the gym to go down as fast as possible so you get your 50coin e.g. in the time it takes for a bus to pull in near by pick a passenger up and move away.
I play for gyms / golden gyms. Don't stack gyms like this. If you stack it with a Chansey and then a Blissey, they can just stick to Machamp or whatever fighting type. Always stack with weaknesses behind the pokemon that is in front of you. 1. Start with a low one like Chansey or Wobbu. 2. Place a counter after it, i.e. Chansey -> Gardevoir -> Blissey -> Wobbu -> Snorlax -> Mandibuzz. 3. Switching takes time and is annoying, stick with low cp pokemons in front. For attacking gyms. 1. Have teams ready. I use 2 Machamps, Raikou, Moltres, Metagross and Weavile. Use a team that covers most defenders. 2. Have a second team ready with the same pokemons but a different lead. For example, if the gym is Chansey -> Gardevoir -> .... -> .. I usually have the 2nd party leading with a Metagross. 3. Don't fight the pokemons all at once. Kill them individually. You don't have to switch constantly and not all trainers will get notifications when the pokemon are at the final health bar so it is harder for them to defend. Currently at 593 golden gyms, hoping to still get 600 this month. Good luck. :)
i, too, am that stubborn person. And if the defenders are just as stubborn as me, i'll make it a point to burn off their Golden Razz Berries down to 0.
On the other hand I keep on asking people on my local discord to knock my pokemon out of the gyms so that I can get the 50 coins per day. I used to use high CP & HP mons but then I realised that to get the 50 coins 10 CP mons were good enough when you know everyone in the community and they won't kick you out before 8 hours.
Good informative video. You're just focusing on 1 gym though for 8 hours (it's actually 8 hours 20 mins). But you've done math on your channel before so I was surprised you didn't show anything like, if you can't hold on to 1 gym but put pokemon in 8 gyms and all they need to do is be in there for a little over an hour each. Or other math combos.
@@TheTrainerClub Thanks Billy :) it's just a lot of people down here has more than 1 account and it's so annoying lol For example: I'll battle a gym, put my one pokemon in. This random car comes with one guy and once he leaves I see 3 more pokemon added. Happens a lot and it could be for their kids but idk you can literally be fighting a full gym and it could be one player behind it. Js
@@kylanhusband2555 you get 30 stardust per berry but sometimes you can get a candy for the Pokémon you put the berry on; even if it’s not yours in the gym!
@@kylanhusband2555 If you have a lot of berries, this is actually more efficient than walking 5km for one candy. But it is still like 1 Candy every 70-100 berries.
Random but you can beat a gym slowly (but surely) by battling the first Pokémon, making it faint and then running away. You keep battling the first Pokémon again until you knock it out of the gym. And then you do the same thing to the next Pokémon. Doing this instead of attacking a bunch of the defenders’ Pokémons, will ensure that you won’t notify a bunch of defending trainers that their gym is under attack. This will prevent the spam of golden razz berries.
I am going to start marking my gym defenders so they are easy to throw in fast. Thanks for the information Billy! Gonna have my Blissey gang going deep!!!
Im gold on most of the sydney cbd gyms and i use some of these tricks you mention. i started laughing when you mentioned people being stubborn because thats the general fun nature of the game ;) Great vid! :)
How can I tell what levels my Pokémon are? Just bc they’re maxed cpdoes that mean Max level? Should i just get poke genie again? Playing for years and still don’t get it. I have hundos or near perfect stats that are 33, 35?? What gives
On the contrary, when attacking gyms, if all 6 Pokémon are full health, do a full round through all 6, then focus on the first, then the second, then the third, and so on. Many people don’t watch their Pokémon in gyms unless they get the low health notification. This method will get you through gyms much quicker when attacking
Until pokemon like Hoopa and Mimkyu come, drifblim is the only pokemon that can triple resist fighting, so its a good idea to put it in gyms with chanseys, blisseys, and snorlaxes. Also, snorlax can be shadow, so try to get it once team rocket comes back from the bug interruption.
I've got a BIG TIP, if you aren't 100% concerned about the gym staying up as long as possible, like if you know one gets less traffic, another GREAT pick for Gyms are things you still need candy of to evolve for your dex but are rare!!! Chuck all your extra berries at them, 10 every 30 minutes, and there's a small chance to get a candy from them when you feed them berries. I've gotten a decent amount of Gible candy this way. This is also beneficial to OTHER PLAYERS of your team because you can feed berries to anything in Gyms you're aligned with. DON'T forget about this usage!!!
I was cleaning my pokemon storage and I found a 14 15 15 shadow lileep. Is lileep/cradily any good for anything? I am not going to purify it because its attack would probably stay better as a shadow then a hundo.
The only gyms i battle are the gyms around me that i can see, usually late at night so they stay in a gym for 8hr, once there dead i use berries to get stardust… an if I’m running low on items i usually set up a loop around my home town of gyms (late at night) an drive around collecting items with my go-plus… unless its a gym i really want to keep then i put gym defenders in it otherwise whatever is recent will do well in my hometown it works lol haha
Tip Counter for Chansey/Blissey/Gardevoir/Snorlax is "MELMETAL" melmetal is Resist Psychic and fairy type Skill and he has Super Fast charge attack and spam Super Power Attack (Fighting Moves).
It does not have STAB for the fighting move and conkeldurr has got a much better DPS. Anyways, my Snorlax for gym defending has got Body Slam and also Superpower for coverage to those steel attackers
I always, like ALWAYS get gengar in automated battle party in gym battle. Even though there are blissey and stuff in there. So yeah if you put psychic like gardevoir in there, it's gonna get ripped apart in no time.
You should do a video of which gym defenders should have 2 charged moves, I was thinking of putting hydro pump and ice beam for lapras, is it worth it? Also for slaking I was thinking doing body slam and play rough, just wondering if anyone else has done this
Trainer club saying people don't go in with ghost type pokemon me who has only 1 Giratina Origin form and loves it, uses it in every ghost needed battle and also GYMS.
I like using Espeon , great defender only weak to ghost types and Porygon Z , only weak to fighting types and is overall a great pokemon to have at a high level on ur team
From the ground up: Chansey > Togekiss > Rhyperior (Double ground for anti Rock/Ice/Fire) > Dragonite > Blissey > Drifblim . This stack covers every potential counter which will make the attackers auto select default to durable pokemon. This will discourage normal players SUBSTANTIALLY. For players motivated enough to choose their team and swap as necessary, the coverage will make them swap pretty much after every individual win. They'll knock you out eventually if you don't berry it, but they will regret their life choices.
So to counter that type of gym I would need: Lucario > Melmetal > Melmetal > Melmetal > Lucario > Lucario Mind you that Lucario has Counter + Shadow Ball/Aura Sphere and you save up enough energy for when you need it. Yeah, it's an annoying gym build but very doable
Pink is a discouraging color when attacking a gym. I have a half-life party of hariyama that I use to take out normal pokemon (chansey, blissy, snorlax, etc.). By half-life I mean I revive them, but do not heal them. When I attack a tough gym I beat down one pokemon at a time using the same party, reviving as necessary.
That pretty good for stacking. If the you are just adding randomly to a gym I would add something with cp 1900 that seems to be the decay sweet spot. Mandibuzz, umbreon are great for this.
I drop in shiny shadows at a low cp with whatever moveset. I don't see any reason to cost anyone a bunch of potions/revives they could be utilizing for rocket battles or raids
Brah, not sure why you are saying take it to level 35 and not level 40. There is 0 difference in 30-35, then 36 to 40. What would make sense if you said take it to level 30.
I always put my lvl 45 blissey in a gym before the raid. Under lvl 40 wasn’t cutting need to drag time out before the raid. Hopefully by the end of the year it will be lvl 50.
Just yesterday I used a Chansey shiny and lost it while walking away and someone used maxed blissey and after defeating it one time they healed and I left there's no point to keep trying it took forever
I usually throw on a Blissey with that move set plus when with a friend I tell them to put on Chansey, Snorlax, or Wobbufet cause it makes the attackers work for the gym and most of the time its usually people in cars who pull up and battle a normal gym down till I take that down and put on my Pokemon types needed for a lasting effective guard on it. Some people will stay to fight it to the end it's mostly Valor who come around each time always knocking down Mystic(especially) and Instinct Gyms. I've had a problematic player who comes around from valor too and always normally takes down my Pokemon and leaves the others on or if he has enough potions ect takes it all down and ALWAYS puts down his Salamence in rare cases however puts down his shiny Pokemon as a show off tactic which is a waste cause they aren't even remotely on the good list for defending the gym it's basically a haha I took you down but look at my fancy pokemon. Anytime he does shiny Pokemon however and I take his down I put up my shiny Garbodor which is ironically I did not know a reasonable honorable mention on this list to put on a gym 😂 I honestly put up Garbodor mostly as a insult to his shiny Pokemon by saying yeah literal trash got you beat and numbered indirectly 😂 it's honestly a funny feud we have and we never met once but I can tell I genuinely upset him depending on what he places down on the gym lol 😂 he goes by the name chefcarliv and I can tell he's a show off person cause not only is he 40+ in level he also uses the arms up pose like he's got some kind of victory strong dealio going on with him lol plus if I ever get low on potions or PokeBalls or berries I go to a nearby park that he doesn't take the time to go to and fuel up so I'm ready for him all over again 😅 needless to say I haven't seen him now in a day or two so maybe he's refueling his supplies till he's back. Will keep you posted if you want to hear more of this continued feud war XD forgot to mention I am also Team Mystic so that's why he attacks me so much lol and sometimes I wait now till his gym is taken down by mystic and they place some on so I can place mine after since he has a habit of only defeating mine while leaving others Pokemon on the gym he's not been happy with me 😅
Funny extra story to include with this on top of dealing with chefcarliv there's another Valor who is a lady literally named TheSaltyB who comes around does near the same thing basically takes down the gym but after she does she hangs around in her car for like 5 to 10 mins and I happened to met her unintentionally this time recently after she took my gym down and I was nearby at that very moment behind a post and moment she took it down and placed her Blissey with another friend who placed a Chansey I poked my head out from the post met direct eye contact with them and unintentionally without thinking I said it a bit out loud and said peek a boo 🤣 and proceeded to go on my offense taking the gym down and the whole time she kept throwing her golden raspberries in to heal her Blissey I could literally hear her complaining in the background saying there's no way he's gonna do this before the egg hatches and funny thing was I attacked the whole time just with Machamp and Hariyama I took it down and a group of team mystic started walking by and placed 5 Pokemon on the gym after I took it down and placed my Blissey they put down Chansey, Wobbufet, Snorlax, Shiny Sandshrew, and a Gardevoir LMAO and I kid you not I hear this lady start whining in the background literally to the point of crying I hear her say this is not fair he took down my gym and at that point the egg hatched it was a raid finally and I heard her slam her car door and zoomed out of the parking lot screeching the tires on the way out of a Sam's Club parking lot 🤣 I swear this same gym as mentioned earlier has quite a lot of drama and problematic players 😅 it's like a pokemon soap opera 🤣
sometimes i’ll be stubborn and keep fighting after they berry it especially if it’s a small guy, i hoard max revives and potions now more than ever since team rocket went m.i.a so im incredibly bored and will definitely make time to waste someone’s berrys 😁

I check the Pokémon in the gym if they haven’t been in there for 8 hours I don’t battle it. If they have I do.
These people are the best. I love these type of players, keep doing that.
A true man of culture
Naw I'm taking them out regardless amount of time they have. Muahahahah

Best thing you can do is diversify the gym with typings, it’s more difficult for the attacker to create a team of 6 to cover everything
My best gym defender is my 10cp magicarp with a 0iv. I leave him at the gym every night and every morning he returns with 50 coins 😉
Huge brain
Ain’t no one wanna battle that gym when they see a 10 cp magicarp
but hack users came to such gyms and defeat these pokwmons

There should be an achievement on Gold Gym Badges
Facts
And that way we could tell how many gold gyms we have
I've been wanting that for years. my local discord has monthly updated leaderboards and gold gyms badges is one of categories on the leaderboard. I have just about 300 gold gyms myself. I know some people with over 700. Counting each badge is a pain unless you're constantly keeping track of each new badge.

2. Have a second team ready with the same pokemons but a different lead. For example, if the gym is Chansey -> Gardevoir -> .... -> .. I usually have the 2nd party leading with a Metagross.
3. Don't fight the pokemons all at once. Kill them individually. You don't have to switch constantly and not all trainers will get notifications when the pokemon are at the final health bar so it is harder for them to defend.
Currently at 593 golden gyms, hoping to still get 600 this month.
Good luck. :)
11:30 then pause for the full list
I feel like Milotic and Melmetal deserve spots in honorable mention.
Melemtal is mythical it cant be in gyms
@@instxcnzz0796 definitely can still be in gyms tho
I'm that stubborn person that if I invest any time or energy into getting a gym, I will get that gym.
I like the way you think!
i, too, am that stubborn person. And if the defenders are just as stubborn as me, i'll make it a point to burn off their Golden Razz Berries down to 0.
On the other hand I keep on asking people on my local discord to knock my pokemon out of the gyms so that I can get the 50 coins per day. I used to use high CP & HP mons but then I realised that to get the 50 coins 10 CP mons were good enough when you know everyone in the community and they won't kick you out before 8 hours.
there is still chance that someone new player that he wants that gym bcause is near him. Especialy in summer.
My gengar with fighting moves absolutely tears through all of the top defenders. It's super effective and resists almost everything relevant.
Good informative video. You're just focusing on 1 gym though for 8 hours (it's actually 8 hours 20 mins). But you've done math on your channel before so I was surprised you didn't show anything like, if you can't hold on to 1 gym but put pokemon in 8 gyms and all they need to do is be in there for a little over an hour each. Or other math combos.
Forgot the true number one gym defender... the golden razz ( oops, it was in the "do not use" section :) )
Ugh, I've been at a gym for 45mins cause this trainer was so dedicated 😩 lol
I feel u bro
You can remote berry feed if you didn’t know and watch that
@@TheTrainerClub Thanks Billy :) it's just a lot of people down here has more than 1 account and it's so annoying lol
For example: I'll battle a gym, put my one pokemon in. This random car comes with one guy and once he leaves I see 3 more pokemon added. Happens a lot and it could be for their kids but idk you can literally be fighting a full gym and it could be one player behind it. Js
I honestly just use gyms to stick Pokemon in i need/want candy for and stuff them with berries ^^
Wait that works?
@@kylanhusband2555 you get 30 stardust per berry but sometimes you can get a candy for the Pokémon you put the berry on; even if it’s not yours in the gym!
@@kylanhusband2555 If you have a lot of berries, this is actually more efficient than walking 5km for one candy. But it is still like 1 Candy every 70-100 berries.
What a great video! I thoroughly enjoyed this.
People: **Trying to defeat the gym that im in**
Me: Haha Golden Razz goes brrrrr
XD
That's what I do
But they're not giving up wasting their time to defeat me
So... Welp good luck
If people golden it I will stay there til it’s dead
Random but you can beat a gym slowly (but surely) by battling the first Pokémon, making it faint and then running away. You keep battling the first Pokémon again until you knock it out of the gym. And then you do the same thing to the next Pokémon. Doing this instead of attacking a bunch of the defenders’ Pokémons, will ensure that you won’t notify a bunch of defending trainers that their gym is under attack. This will prevent the spam of golden razz berries.
Definitely especially when you’re in competitive gyms that are consistently being watched
Wailord and Milotic are pretty good and Tanky. But I just like to put rare shiny Pokémon in gyms to flex on People cause that’s what really matters
This
I am going to start marking my gym defenders so they are easy to throw in fast. Thanks for the information Billy! Gonna have my Blissey gang going deep!!!
The sequence I use with my 3 friends:
Blissey->Garchomp->Chansey->Gardevoir
No consecutive Pokémons have common weaknesses
😊
What about Pokemon with three moves? what charge moves does it use first? and does it use both moves during the battle?
Im gold on most of the sydney cbd gyms and i use some of these tricks you mention. i started laughing when you mentioned people being stubborn because thats the general fun nature of the game ;) Great vid! :)
How can I tell what levels my Pokémon are? Just bc they’re maxed cpdoes that mean Max level? Should i just get poke genie again? Playing for years and still don’t get it. I have hundos or near perfect stats that are 33, 35?? What gives
These recommended pokemon is the main reason I run machamp, metagross, & tyranitar in my party to take gyms
u should see what shadow mewtwo does to this xD
On the contrary, when attacking gyms, if all 6 Pokémon are full health, do a full round through all 6, then focus on the first, then the second, then the third, and so on. Many people don’t watch their Pokémon in gyms unless they get the low health notification. This method will get you through gyms much quicker when attacking
Until pokemon like Hoopa and Mimkyu come, drifblim is the only pokemon that can triple resist fighting, so its a good idea to put it in gyms with chanseys, blisseys, and snorlaxes. Also, snorlax can be shadow, so try to get it once team rocket comes back from the bug interruption.
I needed this as I have been putting Pokémon in gym recently
I encounter a lot of fun themed gyms. Only eevee type, only yellow pokemon, only alolans, only shiny... Those are fun to encounter.
Now I know I was that stubborn guy trying to take down a gym with Blissey, Snorlax and Metagross😵
Top 15 love the vids billy keep up the great work
I did not know the Golden Razz Berry gym trick! This guy’s tips are awesome! 👌🏼
In my Area
You can put Your Pokemon maximum 15 min
They are super active
Jiglypuff is insane too!
I'm always spamming Spinda's, that dancing bear is just too much fun when it's on top of a gym
Thanks a lot! Saved me the hassle of figuring this out the manual way :D
Very good advice thanks billy
I've got a BIG TIP, if you aren't 100% concerned about the gym staying up as long as possible, like if you know one gets less traffic, another GREAT pick for Gyms are things you still need candy of to evolve for your dex but are rare!!! Chuck all your extra berries at them, 10 every 30 minutes, and there's a small chance to get a candy from them when you feed them berries. I've gotten a decent amount of Gible candy this way. This is also beneficial to OTHER PLAYERS of your team because you can feed berries to anything in Gyms you're aligned with. DON'T forget about this usage!!!
Yes, I am a gym player. I knew most of what you spoke of, but not all. Nice tips! Thanks
To make people feel intimidated keep a miltank at the end to remind them of Whitney
thanks for the info❤ really useful info
Loved this video I just changed up some of my movesets!
I was cleaning my pokemon storage and I found a 14 15 15 shadow lileep. Is lileep/cradily any good for anything? I am not going to purify it because its attack would probably stay better as a shadow then a hundo.
The only gyms i battle are the gyms around me that i can see, usually late at night so they stay in a gym for 8hr, once there dead i use berries to get stardust… an if I’m running low on items i usually set up a loop around my home town of gyms (late at night) an drive around collecting items with my go-plus… unless its a gym i really want to keep then i put gym defenders in it otherwise whatever is recent will do well in my hometown it works lol haha
Tip Counter for Chansey/Blissey/Gardevoir/Snorlax is "MELMETAL" melmetal is Resist Psychic and fairy type Skill and he has Super Fast charge attack and spam Super Power Attack (Fighting Moves).
It does not have STAB for the fighting move and conkeldurr has got a much better DPS.
Anyways, my Snorlax for gym defending has got Body Slam and also Superpower for coverage to those steel attackers
@Billy : Mandibuzz is top tier gym defender right up at the top with Blissey according to a recent article from Gamepress. What do you think of it?
@Ramon Lopez Blissy satayin alone is way better, but true mandibuzz's power comes when gym is full
I would add Scizor to your honorable mention list. Only 1 weakness and 9 resisted attacks. It’s neutral to fighting.
Reshiram.
Thanks for the video
I always, like ALWAYS get gengar in automated battle party in gym battle. Even though there are blissey and stuff in there. So yeah if you put psychic like gardevoir in there, it's gonna get ripped apart in no time.
Thanks for another great video!!! I use my 100%Wobbuffet in the gym and it always stays in there forever! Much love and Aloha from Hawaii!!!
once i fought 45min straight to take over a gym.... and won 💪
Did you actually “win,” though?
1.Chansey
2.Blissey
3.Gardevoir
4.Wobbufet
5.Snorlax
6.Metagross
TY
Info is awesome 2 new trainers
Happy to help
You should do a video of which gym defenders should have 2 charged moves, I was thinking of putting hydro pump and ice beam for lapras, is it worth it? Also for slaking I was thinking doing body slam and play rough, just wondering if anyone else has done this
Wobbuffet 🤩🤩🤩 because I think they're awesome, one of my all-time fav Pokémon as well, and since most people put Chansey/Blissey it's perfect😊🤣
Trainer club saying people don't go in with ghost type pokemon me who has only 1 Giratina Origin form and loves it, uses it in every ghost needed battle and also GYMS.
Does the 3 ko tricks still works on gym?
I heard it will results in error
What do you think of dito. I use it alot and people hate it
I like using Espeon , great defender only weak to ghost types and Porygon Z , only weak to fighting types and is overall a great pokemon to have at a high level on ur team
Keep it up man🔥✨🔥✨🔥🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨
I always use piplup. Or, when I'm with friends, we use a theme: all pink, all shiny, all small pokemon. All Eeveelutions is also nice.
@@resean2727 I'll cry whenever I want to! But not about coins, I've got more than enough coins.
I like running into a gym with a theme. When I beat it I try to follow team but its hard with randoms
Another suggestion - Mandibuzz is pretty decent as a defender
Big facts but don't let the secret out :v
Melmetal is also good right?
Hey, just wondering what happens if you double move a Pokémon and put it in a gym and someone comes to fight that gym? What move will it use?
Excadrill with Drill run has taken out a lot of my pokemon pretty easy before.
From the ground up: Chansey > Togekiss > Rhyperior (Double ground for anti Rock/Ice/Fire) > Dragonite > Blissey > Drifblim . This stack covers every potential counter which will make the attackers auto select default to durable pokemon. This will discourage normal players SUBSTANTIALLY. For players motivated enough to choose their team and swap as necessary, the coverage will make them swap pretty much after every individual win. They'll knock you out eventually if you don't berry it, but they will regret their life choices.
So to counter that type of gym I would need:
Lucario > Melmetal > Melmetal > Melmetal > Lucario > Lucario
Mind you that Lucario has Counter + Shadow Ball/Aura Sphere and you save up enough energy for when you need it.
Yeah, it's an annoying gym build but very doable
I love these gym vids!!! I just wish more people would let folks keep their Pokemon in gyms longer than, oh, 5 minutes!
Is one of the few entertaining aspects of the game , pvp wise
Pink is a discouraging color when attacking a gym. I have a half-life party of hariyama that I use to take out normal pokemon (chansey, blissy, snorlax, etc.). By half-life I mean I revive them, but do not heal them. When I attack a tough gym I beat down one pokemon at a time using the same party, reviving as necessary.
That pretty good for stacking. If the you are just adding randomly to a gym I would add something with cp 1900 that seems to be the decay sweet spot. Mandibuzz, umbreon are great for this.
As a rural player I never need to truly defend; I place candy needed Pokemon in GYMs
Very true, city and rural gym strategies are very very different
Milotic is pretty good with Dragon Tail, Surf and Blizzard... good coverage and also tanky pokemon
My go-to defender that wins me 50 coins most of the time
F for Laparas that got cut out from the video but not from the list.
This defender list would get obliterated by my lucario with fighting/ghost moves
Definitely need more variety
I drop in shiny shadows at a low cp with whatever moveset. I don't see any reason to cost anyone a bunch of potions/revives they could be utilizing for rocket battles or raids
If you raid daily potions and revives will naturally spam your inventory lol i throw them very often.
Brah, not sure why you are saying take it to level 35 and not level 40. There is 0 difference in 30-35, then 36 to 40. What would make sense if you said take it to level 30.
I always put my lvl 45 blissey in a gym before the raid. Under lvl 40 wasn’t cutting need to drag time out before the raid. Hopefully by the end of the year it will be lvl 50.
0:45 its a wild houndour behind you catch it before it escape
Thx bruh👍
Nice man...
Just yesterday I used a Chansey shiny and lost it while walking away and someone used maxed blissey and after defeating it one time they healed and I left there's no point to keep trying it took forever
I like to us my level 40 shundo Dido love the fact that he copy’s the typing and just makes it a slow grind to defeat
I usually throw on a Blissey with that move set plus when with a friend I tell them to put on Chansey, Snorlax, or Wobbufet cause it makes the attackers work for the gym and most of the time its usually people in cars who pull up and battle a normal gym down till I take that down and put on my Pokemon types needed for a lasting effective guard on it. Some people will stay to fight it to the end it's mostly Valor who come around each time always knocking down Mystic(especially) and Instinct Gyms. I've had a problematic player who comes around from valor too and always normally takes down my Pokemon and leaves the others on or if he has enough potions ect takes it all down and ALWAYS puts down his Salamence in rare cases however puts down his shiny Pokemon as a show off tactic which is a waste cause they aren't even remotely on the good list for defending the gym it's basically a haha I took you down but look at my fancy pokemon. Anytime he does shiny Pokemon however and I take his down I put up my shiny Garbodor which is ironically I did not know a reasonable honorable mention on this list to put on a gym 😂 I honestly put up Garbodor mostly as a insult to his shiny Pokemon by saying yeah literal trash got you beat and numbered indirectly 😂 it's honestly a funny feud we have and we never met once but I can tell I genuinely upset him depending on what he places down on the gym lol 😂 he goes by the name chefcarliv and I can tell he's a show off person cause not only is he 40+ in level he also uses the arms up pose like he's got some kind of victory strong dealio going on with him lol plus if I ever get low on potions or PokeBalls or berries I go to a nearby park that he doesn't take the time to go to and fuel up so I'm ready for him all over again 😅 needless to say I haven't seen him now in a day or two so maybe he's refueling his supplies till he's back. Will keep you posted if you want to hear more of this continued feud war XD forgot to mention I am also Team Mystic so that's why he attacks me so much lol and sometimes I wait now till his gym is taken down by mystic and they place some on so I can place mine after since he has a habit of only defeating mine while leaving others Pokemon on the gym he's not been happy with me 😅
Funny extra story to include with this on top of dealing with chefcarliv there's another Valor who is a lady literally named TheSaltyB who comes around does near the same thing basically takes down the gym but after she does she hangs around in her car for like 5 to 10 mins and I happened to met her unintentionally this time recently after she took my gym down and I was nearby at that very moment behind a post and moment she took it down and placed her Blissey with another friend who placed a Chansey I poked my head out from the post met direct eye contact with them and unintentionally without thinking I said it a bit out loud and said peek a boo 🤣 and proceeded to go on my offense taking the gym down and the whole time she kept throwing her golden raspberries in to heal her Blissey I could literally hear her complaining in the background saying there's no way he's gonna do this before the egg hatches and funny thing was I attacked the whole time just with Machamp and Hariyama I took it down and a group of team mystic started walking by and placed 5 Pokemon on the gym after I took it down and placed my Blissey they put down Chansey, Wobbufet, Snorlax, Shiny Sandshrew, and a Gardevoir LMAO and I kid you not I hear this lady start whining in the background literally to the point of crying I hear her say this is not fair he took down my gym and at that point the egg hatched it was a raid finally and I heard her slam her car door and zoomed out of the parking lot screeching the tires on the way out of a Sam's Club parking lot 🤣 I swear this same gym as mentioned earlier has quite a lot of drama and problematic players 😅 it's like a pokemon soap opera 🤣
Umbreon is decent too, it's bulk is similar to Snorlax and it's lower CP means it has slower CP decay.
How do the Ivs matter for this? Can anyone explain? Also should we power it up or the cp doesn’t matter?
sometimes i’ll be stubborn and keep fighting after they berry it especially if it’s a small guy, i hoard max revives and potions now more than ever since team rocket went m.i.a so im incredibly bored and will definitely make time to waste someone’s berrys 😁
Exactly what I do lol
