Is there gym etiquette?

A post was split to a new topic: Taking down themed gyms

Gym etiquette for me means if somebodyā€™s taking down a gym and I join the take-down late, I wonā€™t try to race the other to get one of my defenders in before theirs. I try to gauge which team did the majority of the take-down and have that team be the new defenders.

If these are the same people that wonā€™t raid with you, tell them to stick it where the sun doesnā€™t shine. Itā€™s all part of the game.

Since I read this post and have known that it takes at least 8hours to gain 50coins, I never take down gyms held by Blue and Yellow even if only one player is there if I see they had been there lower than 8hours, UNLESS they put in a low level mons with CP lower than 1000 because that only means they are not serious in depending the gym, so that is a big invite to flush them out immediately.

I donā€™t follow that. I have a specific route I follow to and home from work. If you are the wrong color in one of those gyms on my route, sucks to be you. I only have deal worked out with my neighbors on 2 gyms next to my house. If I encounter them on other gyms along my route? Well, they will just get thier coins early.

Iā€™ll just being kind to those players, specially lower level in their 20s cause I also been like that and just returning the favor.

Sort of my own unwritten code.

But if it happens that they flushed me out early, then I am more than willing to return the favor even if it is already a full packed gym with high levels mons. I have a lots of revives and berries to spare since I donā€™t usually do raids and now PVPsā€¦

Anyway, as I have learned late in this games, no one is bound to play any rules, they can do anything they want, and just need to accept when things goes around. :grin:

No, if I donā€™t have agreement with you already on our local Discord, you lose your gym. Even if I do have agreement with you, you lose it first thing next morning. My neighbors know Iā€™m ruthless, so they have no choice but deal with me.

How many personal gyms do you have, meaning the ones you always get and like to take?

I have about 5-7 depending on day and week. But i regularly get coins from the same gyms.

I have four personal gyms I hold it all times but theyā€™re on the way to work so I take them at 6 p.m. and then take them back at 8 a.m.

I have 9 local gyms I take on my way to work. Then I have 3 I take between home and work. Then to hit my 20, I have 18 to choose from when I get to the town I work. What sucks is Iā€™m already gold at all of them, so I can only work on the ones here at home when Iā€™m off.
