Pokémon GO allows you to become a gym leader which is pretty darned lovely, but you may find that all too often your power is usurped by a plucky Youngster called Joey and his top-tier Rattata. Curses!
Check out the video above where we show you how to get the most of your Pokémon gyms and give your team the best chance of holding onto them. The tips contained within should hopefully make the pathway to gym glory that little bit easier.

Keeping a gym is basically impossible really, someone can just keep dwindling it down. Gyms in my town change every 30 minutes during the day and I've seen some have multiple Pokemon well over 1k CP
I've held a few gyms for over 24 hours but yeah... It's a lot easier to take a gym then hold a gym. Apparently that's something they're trying to fix in the next update, which is awesome.
Ugh, I'm too lazy to watch the video. Let me know how it was. LoL!
If you are training at a friendly gym, you get about 200 prestige for defeating each lower level pokemon, or about 500 for beating each higher level. Use those type advantages, or just Vaporeon.
It is completely impossible to hold a gym while under attack unless you outnumber them about 5 to 1 or outlevel them dramatically. Your best bet is to sadly wait for it to be conquered and then troll with Magikarp in the open gym until they leave in disgust.
I love that that Grimer is named Trump
I'm temporarily renaming this site "NintenGOLife" in my head each time I see another Pokemon GO article. XD I'm sure these are beneficial to those who own the game.
@Flauber Thx for pointing that out! I wouldn't have even noticed the hilarity.
Gen 1 baby! We win! Yeah!
I usually stick any Pokemon in a Gym after defeating it, and collect my 10 Poke Gold for the day.
I don't have enough powerful Pokemon to even consider holding multiple gyms at once.
I hope they change gyms in the near future. I gave up taking gyms because they are just impossible to hold. You can have three people attacking and 3 people prestigeing, and the attacks have a distinct advantage.
Time to make America great again! 🇺🇸
Let's go team instinct!
