"[PSA] You can view (three) Pokemon nearby a gym you are defending."

#PokemonGO: Apologies if this has been posted before; I haven't seen it/couldn't find it in a search. Many of us know that you can "remotely" view raids by checking the nearby raid-dar after attempting to "Go To Gym" from the Pokemon info screen. I wondered if the same was true for nearby Pokemon, and does appear to be, although I'd appreciate more data as I'm only defending one gym at the moment.Method: Press the "Go To Gym" button on a defender. Chill in the gym for 20 seconds or so (not sure if this is necessary, I did this to make sure the nearby list could update). Close out of the gym and after zooming back across the ground, your nearby list will show three Pokemon near the gym before your Pokemon list reappears. My phone is slow and laggy so you can see the blank map (picture 1 below) for a while before the Pokemon list reappears.Photo 1: Pidgey Jynx Sentret near gymPhoto 2: Rat Meowth Pidgey near my actual location, did not change before and after viewing the gymI couldn't make it to the (~3km away) gym to try to catch the Jynx, but will try to confirm this when I have my bike later. There were no Jynx or Sentret near my actual location in any of the 9 slots checking both before or after viewing the gym. Let me know if this works for y'all as well. This may be a less-useful (or positively painful if you see a Dragonite by a 50km-away gym) PSA, but I thought it was interesting at least. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2wCraSW
