Summary
- Some Pokemon GO players are encountering Gyms defended by powerful monsters like Blissey and Chansey, making battles challenging.
- Team Mystic Gyms with a consistent line-up of strong defenders have sparked debates among players, with some suspecting spoofing or multi-accounting.
- With powerful Gym compositions, some players are finding it difficult to earn PokeCoins fairly, as multiple accounts dominate local Gyms.
A Pokemon GO player has found some Gyms with a scary line-up that includes monsters like Blissey and Chansey. Gyms are a key component of the Pokemon GO experience, like in other Pokemon games. In the comments, other Pokemon GO players offered possible explanations to the player about their discovery.
Gyms are points of interest on the Pokemon GO map where players face trainers from rival teams. When battling a rival, if the Pokemon GO player 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 one Pokemon GO player recently found a line-up that is a nightmare for its opponents.
Pokemon GO Players Give Important Tip for PvP and Raids
Pokemon GO players give a tip for PvP and Raids, and it's important information for trainers who want to set up a competitive team.
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 the Pokemon GO factions that 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 makes Pokemon GO believe 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 of Pokemon GO's best Gym defenders. The highlight of the group is Blissey, considered an absolute powerhouse for defending Pokemon GO Gyms 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 multiple Pokemon GO accounts are a relatively common practice, mainly used for trading.
While it's not uncommon for a Pokemon GO trainer 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, the Pokemon GO player 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 to get Pokemon GO's PokeCoins, the currency that players earn when defending Gyms.
