Summary
APokemon GOplayer has found some Gyms with a scary line-up that includes monsters like Blissey and Chansey. Gyms are a key component of thePokemon GOexperience, like in otherPokemongames. In the comments, otherPokemon GOplayers offered possible explanations to the player about their discovery.
Gyms are points of interest on thePokemon GOmap where players face trainers from rival teams. When battling a rival, if thePokemon GOplayer succeeds, they will reduce the critter’s motivation. A Pokemon with zero motivation leaves the Gym’s defense, and when this happens to all Pokemon assigned to defend the Gym, the winning trainer can claim it.Pokemon GO’s Gym battles, as in other games in the franchise, involve planning and preparation to take down the defending teams. But onePokemon GOplayer recently found a line-up that is a nightmare for its opponents.
Reddit user jperk121 found multiple Gyms in the area where they live, defended by Drifblim, Snorlax, Blissey, Wobbuffet, Togekiss, and Chansey. The player shared four screenshots of different Gyms showing the same scary Pokemon line-up. According to them, almost all the Gyms in the area have this same composition in Team Mystic, one of thePokemon GOfactionsthat players can choose from. The player said that all the accounts have the same level (31), and asked if it was spoofing. This illegal technique tricks the device’s GPS and makesPokemon GObelieve that the player is in a different place from the current one.
Pokemon GO Players Comment on Nightmare Fuel Gym Line-up
The composition found by OP stands out for being made up of some ofPokemon GO’s best Gym defenders. The highlight of the group is Blissey, considered an absolute powerhouse for defendingPokemon GOGyms due to its whopping 496 Stamina. In response to the post, some trainers believe it’s spoofing, but others have offered multi-accounting as a possible explanation for the Gym’s line-up pattern. Trainers with multiplePokemon GOaccounts are a relatively common practice, mainly used for trading.
While it’s not uncommon for aPokemon GOtrainer to have more than one account, the practice has already been criticized by other trainers who have had their experience with Gyms ruined. Their reasoning is that by creating multiple accounts and filling up the Gyms in the area, thePokemon GOplayer makes it impossible to defeat them by fair standards. The situation becomes even trickier when the Gyms have a powerful composition like the one found by the OP. With that, it gets harder togetPokemon GO’s PokeCoins, the currency that players earn when defending Gyms.
