Training at your gym in Pokemon Go is about to get easier
Holding a gym in Pokemon Go is tough, especially when you can’t even train on it and take on those high level Pokemon – you only get one shot. But things are going to change!
Niantic has announced another new feature coming to Pokemon Go, instead of just one Pokemon to train on gyms you’ll be able to take six into the training session. That should help you to hold your gym and let people with lesser Pokemon gang up and fight against some of the giants at the top of the tree.
As we continue to make improvements to Pokémon GO, we have made an enhancement to the Gym experience for Trainers of all levels. In an upcoming version of Pokémon GO, when training at a friendly Gym, Trainers will be able to bring six Pokémon to battle instead of one. In addition, the CP of the Pokémon you are training against may be temporarily adjusted lower during your training session to generally match your Pokémon’s battle capabilities.
No matter what your level, you can now have an impact on your team’s Gym. Walk with your Buddy Pokémon to that nearby landmark and show your Team Leader that you can battle with the best!
This update is coming in a ‘upcoming update’, whenever that is – like the update yesterday – only Niantic know.
They must have trialed that feature earlier, because I remember being able to do this during one of my first gym battles. Thought it was always there, but just a fiddly feature to access.
