"Top 6 Pokemon NOT to place in gyms! (If CP1600 or less)"

#PokemonGO: In order to minimize the work I have to do to maintain 10 gyms in and near my hometown, I focus on training up friendly gyms instead of tearing down rival ones. (~800 training battles won) Most gyms are fairly easy for an experienced player to prestige up, but some Pokemon with specific moves are so annoying to train against that even I walk away most of the time.I had a pretty bad experience on my gym circuit last night, so allow me to vent a little by listing the 6 Pokemon you should never place in gyms if you even remotely care about your team mates, unless they are CP1600+ and can be a valid gym defender against rival teams.6) ChanseyA Chansey is probably horrible to train against given its typing and insane healthpool. The reason it's not higher on this list is that I've never actually had to train against one due to its rarity and low CP.5) Slowbro (with Psychic moves)Electric Pokemon are seriously underpowered in the current meta, which means my primary counter against water types are Grass Pokemon. Unfortunately most Grass types are also Poison type, which makes a Slowbro with Psychic moveset quite a pain to train against given its bulk.4) Vaporeon - With Water PulseMost Vaporeon aren't too bad to train against, but Water Pulse makes a Vaporeon an absolute nightmare cos it causes lag on many devices, making it very difficult to dodge consistently, which makes efficient prestiging impossible in some cases.3) Snorlax - With Body SlamThe reasons that makes high CP Snorlax the best gym defenders also makes low-medium CP Snorlax some of the worst gym defenders. There is basically no way to train efficiently against a Snorlax. At least Body Slam doesn't cause lag, but it is harder to dodge than Earthquake and Hyperbeam.2) Lapras - With BlizzardLapras are an absolute pain because Ice movesets counters Grass Pokemon that can efficiently counter pure Water types, and Electric Pokemon are underpowered. If you were attacking a gym with a Lapras, you could over-power it with a strong Arcanine, but this isn't an option for training.Blizzard makes efficient training against Lapras nearly impossible, because although you can theoretically dodge it, it is very difficult to pull off in practise.1) Hypno - With PsychicHypno is the bane of my life because apart from Vaporeon, all of the other Pokemon on the list are rare, and people tend to power them up so they don't often appear at or near the bottom of gyms.However, if you live in a Drowzee plague zone (most of England) like me, every mindless casual player has a Hypno squad and they very often fill up the bottom tiers of gyms.All Hypnos are a pain due to their stats and the lack of counters, but Hypnos with Psychic are actually evil and impossible to train against due to Psychic causing lag.If I were stupidly rich I'd hire somebody to play on a rival team and kill every single Hypno in allied gyms!Alright rant over... please be considerate when placing Pokemon in gyms and give friendly advice to those you encounter that place the wrong Pokemon in gyms.This rant was provoked by encountering two Hypnos, a Snorlax and a Lapras on my gym circuit last night. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2eGj3iy
