How to Gym Battle in Pokemon GO: A Fun Guide for Beginners
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can start battling in gyms in Pokemon GO? Well, you’re in for a treat because that’s exactly what we’re going to dive into today!
For all the Pokemon trainers out there looking to flex their muscles, a gym battle in Pokemon GO is where it’s at. So, let’s break down how you can get in on the action.
Starting Your First Gym Battle
To start a gym battle in Pokemon GO, you first must find a gym, which is pretty easy. Look for tall structures with a team color (red, blue, or yellow) on your map. Once you’re close enough, tap the gym, and if it’s controlled by a different team, you can start a battle!
The way it works is simple: you choose six of your Pokemon to go up against the defending Pokemon, one at a time. Swipe left or right to dodge attacks and tap the screen to attack! If you defeat all the defenders, your team gains control of the gym.
Winning Battles and Earning Rewards
When you win battles, you not only help your team control more gyms, but you also earn rewards like XP and, sometimes, items. Keep battling to make your Pokemon stronger and earn your place as a top trainer!
Battles are not just about attacking; you can also use special attacks by holding down on the screen after your attack meter is full. Remember, training and battling increase your experience and the strength of your Pokemon.
