Gyms - New Coin System

I just want my coins, no one even kicks out the rubbish I have started to put in :frowning:

@Jake, I know how you feel, it’s very annoying, and if you manage to put a few in different gyms, and they come back on the same day, you lose out, and if you empty a gym in a busy area, you are lucky to keep it there for more than 10 minutes. I think that once your Pokémon reaches 50 coins, it should return to you automatically.

I miss the 500 daily stardust. Any workaround tips?

@Heidiclaire I believe the only alternative (other than catching more pokemon) is feeding about 25 berries a day, which is definitely not as easy. At least gyms are now pokestops, so it is slightly easier to get pokeballs and berries.

500 stardust is just 1-2 caught pokemon. Not so much if you ask me…

I would be fine if there was a way you could return a Pokémon you have on a gym to yourself.

Would help in areas where only one team dominates the local gym scene.

Ya know … I’ll keep playing in hopes that it’ll be worth it. Over the past year I’ve built up a really good team of pokemon based on good IV’s, high CP points, good movesets … etc. I’m really disappointed in what’s happened lately. There’s no motivation anymore, no competition and no motivation to build a good team of pokemon.

I like this idea, it could bump gym rotation for people in rural areas.

With only 50 coins a day now, it will take me 24 days to save up enough to buy that new anniversary box.

That thing is a joke!! Barely a discount at all

Yeah a little pricey, I don’t see enough rare spawns to justify purchasing ultra balls. I barely buy incubators, but that should change when gen 3 rolls out. As for now I’d rather not hatch anymore Miltanks and Pinecos and just stick to raid passes. As for gyms…my teammates can’t get there in time, cheats still joysticking and placing non slashed mons. That is still the biggest issue and raids should have a wider vicinity to notify trainers that they are happening. There can be one 5 minutes away and you’d have no idea. Just roll with it for now, it can only get better. :v:t2:

I agree bout larger notification area. I’m fortunate we have an active local group of players and a local chat that keeps us informed.

There really needs to be an incentive to clear gyms. One gym near me is coming up to five days for the longest defending mon. They are all on empty motivation except one. I just didn’t see the point of sending coins to rival teams, then being kicked out quickly, as they all returned. What is the point in helping other teams, when as soon as they see a gym with only one mon in it, they take it over. I just wait till I see a vacant space in a gym now, and add a mon there.

If you boot them at night there is a chance they have already hit their max so it will be useless for them…it also seems like gyms are far less active after 8pm or so near me, so a better chance you can keep them past midnight and get your max coins the next day

I’m having a similar problem but different. Say I have 3 pokemon on 3 gyms. 2 pokemon have been in the gym for 2 days so far, and the third one has been in a gym for almost a week. Now, the 2 pokemon who have been in a gym for 2 days were taken down, and I got 50 coins for each one. However, for the 3rd pokemon, he was taken out and it said, “Vaporeon was knocked out of the gym!” and I received no coins for it. How come I don’t get coins for a pokemon that’s been there for almost a week?

The problem I have is that I often go for a drive round all the gyms in my area. I put Pokemon in, they stay for ages and then all get kicked out on the same day by the occasional spoofer.

Maybe another possibility would be that once your pokemon hits max coins earned it gets returned automatically.

Should be able to withdraw your pokemon, and/or if their there a day it get it’s own seperate 50 coins. basically cause the mon stayed superiorly longer it gets it’s own personal amount of coins. its frustrating seeing my mon stay 4+ days and given no coins what was the point. The true elite will agree the childish will cry.
1day - 50
2days. - 100
3days- 150

Had a mon in a gym for 2 weeks. It got knocked out and I got nothing because I already got my 50 coins a day. I just try to get 15-20 gyms each day so I usually get my 50 coins before 6 AM.
