If you’ve already caught your Pokemon and intend to make it a Pokemon master, going to the Pokemon Go gym is simply a must. If you find these gyms to be baffling, below are the information you need to understand to compete at the Pokemon gyms in your area.

 

Gyms are specialised locations in the Pokemon Go world and they’re represented by giant towers. At any given time, these can be held by one of the three teams – red, blue or yellow. Each gym has a level that indicates the number of slots there are for the defending Pokemon. This means that two trainers can leave Pokemon at a level two gym. The main point of gyms is to battle other trainers and this is performed by tapping the screen as fast as you can. If the blue bars underneath your screen are full, you’ll be able to press the screen to unleash a more powerful attack.

 

If fighting at a gym held by another team, claiming the gym would mean defeating all defending Pokemon before you can take control of the gym for your team.
