"What are some ways to effectively use unconventional defenders?"

#PokemonGO: I usually train up gyms as opposed to taking down opposing gyms because I'd rather stick one Pokemon in a high level gym that sticks around for a week than taking out 7 low level gyms that I barely have enough time to collect on before they are taken over. There's something about being able to collect every day.I've got more high CP Vaporeons than I can keep in gyms and some star dust to burn. What Pokemon should I power up to give my local gyms some variety?Looking for something other than the usual Vaporeons, Dragonite, Rhydon, Exeggutor, Snorlax, Lapras, etc. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2ixof7y
