"I actually think you can make it good for you when someone from another team snipes a gym from you."

#PokemonGO: Tonight I was taking a gym in my neighborhood, the first of many. As I took down the last guy a well known rival from my neighborhood, someone who often takes gyms back before I can get them all, put a pokemon in the gym before I could open the menu.Normally this would piss me off, but I decided to try a new tactic. I beat up his pokemon using my army of sub 1,000 CP pokemon and let the gym sit greyed out for about a minute. He eventually put another pokemon in and I beat it up with my team of scrubs and left it empty.The process repeated itself about 15 or 20 times, for a while he kept putting the same two pokemon in the gym. Eventually, he started to put in some fairly weak slowbros and vileplume. I don't know for certain, but I think he was probably running low on potions.This worked out great for me because I was able to spend the rest of the night taking gyms without him griefing me. I didn't have to worry about him taking back a gym I just conquered while I was in the middle of battling another gym.This is a great strategy because he burned through potions while I got to use my scrubs. I only used 2 potions, he probably used 20. The only problem is that I now have a ton of pokemon that will eventually need to be healed, I'm the Michael Vick of pokemon trainers. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2cgHy36
