Is there gym etiquette?

Personally, my preference is to only knock out 2-5 gyms that players have been in for at least 8.5hrs each. However if there are no gyms that match those requirements anywhere nearby, and there are multiple gyms with the same players in them, then I’ll Iknock out 2-3 of those gyms regardless of how long they have been there.

It would be great if rewards including coins were given for attacking, rather than defending, just like the original system, but with the rewards being given instantly without needing to claim and with no limit to how many you can do in a day, only the number of coins would be limited.

The reason this way would be great is because it would stop a lot of conflict that happens.

If the gym you took is on my route to work, it’s getting taken down. The only mercy I show is with a couple of local players I made a deal with. I won’t take thier gyms down on my way home, but when I leave in the morning, I’m taking them down. That way they get thier coins for the day already.

It depends, since we can only get 50 coins per day I only take 3-4 gyms.

Really wish they would increase the amount of Pokécoins we get daily :confused:

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

Gym etiquette for me means if somebody’s taking down a gym and I join the take-down late, I won’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 won’t raid with you, tell them to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. It’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 don’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.

I’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 don’t usually do raids and now PVPs…

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 don’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 I’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.
