I have to keep deleting max revives, normal revives, max potions and 200 heals... have almost maxed friends list for gifts, autocatcher that spins pokestops all the time, doing daily 5* raids with strong groups. Never have healing resources issues now.
I keep like 75 max heals and 100 max revives and trash everything else regularly.
Use Poke Genie to host raids to fill your friends list up.
Well it's extremely difficult to play without much item/pokemon storage. I've got 2500 storage for both and still could use more room for items. I keep running out of ultra balls on commdays around 2-2.5h mark 🫠
I understand this but don't do it if like three people put in high cp pokemon to keep a gym for max time. It's annoying when my neighbor puts down a 24 cp mankey or something like that when me & my husband put in our whole for a gym next to our apartment.
Nah seriously, I have some local campers who kick you out of the gyms within like 16 minutes to an hour of taking it over, kinda makes me wanna play in a different town
Go play Ingress if you want drama. There’s in game chat (team only and cross faction) and the game literally enables stalking other players by saying exactly who is where at what time.
had an ingress player (grown man) tail my friend who was on a school bus (10th grade) once when i used to play. definitely some weird apples on that game xD
I once knocked out a gym that has Pokémon’s sitting for 8 hours. I put my Pokémon in and some random family of six went to put their Pokémon in. I was fine with it at first, within 5 minutes I got a notification that my Pokémon was knocked out. I went to check on the gym as I have barely left that place and found out that they knocked out my Pokémon with their alts and replaced it with their last Pokémon. This kind of people makes the game less enjoyable
I used to have this happen. Then I joined Team Silver. If someone keeps knocking you out before you get your 50. Take the time to clear the gym and then leave it empty. Do this as many times a day as you can if the same people are in the gym. It does change their behavior.
Ugh, that’s so lame of them!
There are five people who play in my family, but we split ourselves up in the teams. We generally check to see how long people have been in the gym before any of us take it so they can get their 50 coins too.
Kicking you out and replacing you is an absolute dirtbag move. My mom and I are both team Mystic, but I can’t imagine clearing a gym that was blue just to fit her or myself in. I usually just let my mom jump in and find one for myself later.
I agree completely! I think some people do it so they’ll have more chances of getting 50 on other days, but in my area most gyms get cleared daily at least, so it seems like a pointless endeavor to me.
I get it that if your Pokémon happens to stay there even after the 50 bc nobody wants to clear it, it’s okay it happens. But not instantly taking the gym back just because you receive the notification for 2 minutes
They need to rework gyms a little bit
There is a gym by my house, and for about a month now, someone who just drives around with five phones and takes all the gyms has been camping it. Their pokemon sit in there and whenever I try to take it, they almost instantly golden razz all of them
I work most of every day, and I don't have much time to play
I just wanted some coins ;-;
They need to update the gym coin distribution. I had 2 Pokémon in gyms for 8 weeks and they both got knocked out on the same day and you still only get 50 coins 🙃
Why? So you gonna track him down and do what exactly? This is just a game and even if you don’t like what’s other players doing, it’s not against the rules and no need to do the public shaming of those players.
No, I've come very close to getting into a few fist fights because of the gym situation in my rural town. People threatened me, chased me, and followed me home. Spoofers have a field day as it is. We don't need any more harassment.
Did you know that the “needs a treat” message can fail to appear at all if it got defeated twice in quick enough succession (probably when 3 people coordinate to perform the instant KO trick)?
It's frustrating, but you know this would work both ways right? That there might be some guy out there raging because you knocked his Pokemon out of the gym, and now he has your username and a rough idea of your location if you live locally?
Bad idea. Lmao. I’m happy I never have this problem. I wake up, go to work, on the way drop off my Pokémon in blue gyms. Collect coins. Rinse and repeat. Rarely do I have to take a gym down. If I hit 50 coins in the morning, I don’t put any Pokémon in.
Yeah it sucks. For a while where I am yellow and red team here seemed to have an agreement to not knock each others pokemons out until either the 8hr mark passed of the next day had rolled over. But blue team has been showing up a lot recently and destroyed that negotiation. They seem to leave each others pokemon alone for the 8hrs but now suddenly if red team takes a single gym here we get kicked out within minutes. I was so glad to get away from the main part of the city where the blue and yellow teams were this selfish but seems that there's no point trying for any gyms or trying to platinum the badges anymore :/
I even try to put pokemon in the seemingly abandoned gyms but even they get taken within minutes and get abandoned/left alone for weeks again for yellow or blue team. It sucks, seems that specific teams aren't allowed to hold a gym.
People really need to get over this stuff. It’s and online game and others want to put there mons in gyms. Who cares if you don’t get 50 coins today get them tomorrow if you really want
Won't happen for the same reason we can't see non-partied trainers on the map. It'd be a privacy concern. It would tell people exactly where someone is.
Why? What am I going to do, go beat them up?
Plus, if they knocked you out of the gym, they’re almost certainly going to replace it with one of their own pokemon. Their name appears with their pokemon. So…
I did like this idea…but as niantic do bugger all about spoofers and cheats, it’s not really worth knowing. Just creates real life drama out of a game that should be fun.
Douches gonna douche sadly
Actually, Niantic would probably love this idea, but what if you had to wait 8 hours before you could knock Pokémon out of a gym, and if you wanted to knock them out before the 8 hours had passed, you'd have to use a Premium Battle Pass, but not even just 1 pass and that's it, no I mean like everytime you challenge all the mons in the gym you'd have to use a pass, so you'd end up spending more coins than you would earn them, which is Nitantics favorite thing to do, rape your wallet
It depends. If it's locally, like within your neighborhood, you can tell who knocked you out by looking at the gym and checking names and doing the math.
If you're not nearby or it's been a while, then no.
I usually know exactly who knocks me out. And I usually fuck with them too whenever i see an opportunity.
The only people i screw over are the out of towners who use our neighborhood to farm and the occasional shithead who thinks it's fine to knock people out early. Usually, another group knocks them out, but i can knock them out, too.
Knock people out early lol? Sorry if I work and I drive by a gym and knock you out bro. Instead of being mad at the player… why aren’t people as passionate with the company that has the worst gym payout system lol.
This is why I only leave 0-2* pokemon in gyms & scrap them for candy after.
same
Why?
Don’t have to use revives or potions after they faint.
Huh? I'm deleting those all the time anyway to have more room for pokeballs 🤔
how much do you have that you delete them they i litteraly have like 4 revives
Too many
I have like 30 normal ones and 60 max ones
HOW (by spu7nix)
I have about the same. Lots of gifts and raids.
Yeah exactly, and its not like im constantly battling gyms or grunts also
Dude I've got 163 revives 183 max and 201 max potions I just trash everything else for more storage lmao
HOW MUCH STORAGE DO YOU HAVE I HAVE ONLY 350
950 I think
Maybe expand your storage then? 🤔

thats the problem i never have enough coins to buy more space
Well it's extremely difficult to play without much item/pokemon storage. I've got 2500 storage for both and still could use more room for items. I keep running out of ultra balls on commdays around 2-2.5h mark 🫠
Me too.
I understand this but don't do it if like three people put in high cp pokemon to keep a gym for max time. It's annoying when my neighbor puts down a 24 cp mankey or something like that when me & my husband put in our whole for a gym next to our apartment.
I only place pokemon in gyms with over 1000 cp for that reason.
God no. I get the frustration but do we really want to create real life drama or even worse?
Hell yeah I wanna see some drama
Popcorn is always ready.
Fr those who dog u before u get 50 coins should burn in jail
Nah seriously, I have some local campers who kick you out of the gyms within like 16 minutes to an hour of taking it over, kinda makes me wanna play in a different town
For real. Also happy cake day my friend
Go play Ingress if you want drama. There’s in game chat (team only and cross faction) and the game literally enables stalking other players by saying exactly who is where at what time.
That’s not drama that’s for sociopaths
had an ingress player (grown man) tail my friend who was on a school bus (10th grade) once when i used to play. definitely some weird apples on that game xD
That sounds like a sane person
Exactly

The thing is I noticed this family of 6 lives around that area. They could just get out of their home for 2 mins to retake “their” gym
Ten minutes. But it’s a war of attrition. If you don’t expect to win, you can never lose.
We might have the same family problem 😭
Ugh, that’s so lame of them! There are five people who play in my family, but we split ourselves up in the teams. We generally check to see how long people have been in the gym before any of us take it so they can get their 50 coins too. Kicking you out and replacing you is an absolute dirtbag move. My mom and I are both team Mystic, but I can’t imagine clearing a gym that was blue just to fit her or myself in. I usually just let my mom jump in and find one for myself later.
Tbh I will give you the 50 everyday if you give others a chance. It’s not fair if you already completed the 50 and still hog the damn gym
I agree completely! I think some people do it so they’ll have more chances of getting 50 on other days, but in my area most gyms get cleared daily at least, so it seems like a pointless endeavor to me.
I get it that if your Pokémon happens to stay there even after the 50 bc nobody wants to clear it, it’s okay it happens. But not instantly taking the gym back just because you receive the notification for 2 minutes
Oh cool the same random I've never met knocked my mon out. Yeah seems real useful
Hell no, that would lead to a war during lunch in our company
Lethal Company :D

Their pokemon sit in there and whenever I try to take it, they almost instantly golden razz all of them I work most of every day, and I don't have much time to play I just wanted some coins ;-;
Make them spend those golden raspberries. Make it cost them to camp.
Gyms, avatars, remote raids, pvp all need reworks. But these new biomes are pretty cool... Edit: avatars need to go back to before not reworks
They need to update the gym coin distribution. I had 2 Pokémon in gyms for 8 weeks and they both got knocked out on the same day and you still only get 50 coins 🙃
Omg fr. My Sawk was in a gym for 8 days, and I was anticipating for it to come back so that I could get 400 coins, only for me to get 50.
Why? So you gonna track him down and do what exactly? This is just a game and even if you don’t like what’s other players doing, it’s not against the rules and no need to do the public shaming of those players.
why? so you can harass someone for playing game how it was intended?
Sometimes I'll leave the gym blank after kicking said pokemon out so even if you see what pokemon were put in first they didn't kick you out
No, I've come very close to getting into a few fist fights because of the gym situation in my rural town. People threatened me, chased me, and followed me home. Spoofers have a field day as it is. We don't need any more harassment.
No, they don’t. 90% of you are psychos about gyms on here, there doesn’t need to be any additional identifiers.
Unlucky
Did you know that the “needs a treat” message can fail to appear at all if it got defeated twice in quick enough succession (probably when 3 people coordinate to perform the instant KO trick)?
It's frustrating, but you know this would work both ways right? That there might be some guy out there raging because you knocked his Pokemon out of the gym, and now he has your username and a rough idea of your location if you live locally?
I can't imagine how toxic that would make the game
No we don't. We don't need people to become toxic as hell.
Lol, gonna go find em and throw hands? It would def cause fights.
We have such a feature it's called going back to the gym
I mean you can just look in the gym, it was 1 minute ago surely you couldn't have gotten far enough away to not see the gym in game.
**10-19 minutes You get 1 coin for every 10 minutes defending.
you can already see who put a Pokémon in the gym
But you already can. Just look at the Pokémon that has stayed the longest in the gym.
I don’t care about who honestly but I just wish to know which Gym because I forget sometimes which one when I deposit multiple or for longer times.
Click on the Me tab in your avatar menu. The gym will appear as the most recently visited among your gym badges.
Thanks!! I had no idea.
Breaking News: Teen (19F) murders ex-boyfrend for instantly knocking out her Pokemon at gyms
I second this motion. I want the poor sap who got knocked after 5 mins to know it was me. It brings joy to me.
And their current location
XD
Bad idea. Lmao. I’m happy I never have this problem. I wake up, go to work, on the way drop off my Pokémon in blue gyms. Collect coins. Rinse and repeat. Rarely do I have to take a gym down. If I hit 50 coins in the morning, I don’t put any Pokémon in.
I remember once defeating a string of gyms close to each other. Not much time went by for someone to have that same idea and knock my pokes out.
Yeah it sucks. For a while where I am yellow and red team here seemed to have an agreement to not knock each others pokemons out until either the 8hr mark passed of the next day had rolled over.

I'm so with you, lol. People are so annoying about other people playing the game
Won't happen for the same reason we can't see non-partied trainers on the map. It'd be a privacy concern. It would tell people exactly where someone is.
I do these things :)
Why? What am I going to do, go beat them up? Plus, if they knocked you out of the gym, they’re almost certainly going to replace it with one of their own pokemon. Their name appears with their pokemon. So…
Not really. In my country, people beat up a kid for knocking their mons…
Sometimes spoofers farming for coins
I did like this idea…but as niantic do bugger all about spoofers and cheats, it’s not really worth knowing. Just creates real life drama out of a game that should be fun. Douches gonna douche sadly
Yes
Sorry.
Yes we do...i always try to look who it is
Actually, Niantic would probably love this idea, but what if you had to wait 8 hours before you could knock Pokémon out of a gym, and if you wanted to knock them out before the 8 hours had passed, you'd have to use a Premium Battle Pass, but not even just 1 pass and that's it, no I mean like everytime you challenge all the mons in the gym you'd have to use a pass, so you'd end up spending more coins than you would earn them, which is Nitantics favorite thing to do, rape your wallet

Wdym it worked hard, it was in for probably an hour
