Summary
- Gyms in Pokemon GO are important for trainers to battle rivals and claim control, allowing for team progression and bonus rewards.
- A dedicated team filled a Gym with Eeveelutions, showcasing patience and dedication in the game's community of trainers.
- Upcoming Pokemon GO events include a new Community Day.
A Pokemon GO player shared a screenshot of their local Gym filled only with evolutions of Eevee, the adorable creature that first appeared in 1996’s Pokemon Red and Blue and has been a franchise mascot ever since. While Gyms are a common feature in Pokemon GO, filling one only with specific pocket monsters takes time and dedication, as highlighted by the player who shared this screenshot.
Gyms are important for trainers wanting to improve their team in Pokemon GO. Trainers can battle the Pokemon of their rivals to take control of these points of interest and claim the Gym for their team. Each trainer of the same team can assign one Pokemon to defend a Gym, with up to a total of 6 defending creatures. Defending or attacking a Gym in Pokemon GO awards the progression of a badge that grants an additional bonus when spinning the Gym’s Photo Disc to collect experience points, Poke Balls, Berries, and other useful in-game items.
Pokemon GO Player Finds Maze on Map
A Pokemon GO player discovers a large and intricate maze on their in-game map, prompting the game's community to investigate the maze's purpose.
A dedicated Pokemon GO team recently achieved an unusual goal by filling a Gym with various evolutions of Eevee. One of the players who took part in this challenge shared a screenshot of the Gym on Reddit, sharing their happiness with fellow trainers after months of trying to take over their local Pokemon GO Gym only with evolutions of Eevee. At the time of this screenshot, the Chace’s Pancake Corral Gym features 6 different Eeveelutions, namely Flareon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and Espeon.
Pokemon GO Trainers Team Up To Fill Gym With Eeveelutions
The comments to this Reddit post complimented the Pokemon GO trainers on their patience and dedication to fill this Gym only with Eeveelutions. Fellow Pokemon GO players shared similar images of their respective Gyms being filled with other variations of Eeveelutions or color-themed pocket monsters. Others wondered what a Gym filled with shiny versions of Eeveelutions would look like, giving dedicated Pokemon GO trainers a new objective to complete.
While trainers try to take over Gyms to fill them with their favorite creatures, Pokemon GO has recently announced a new Safari Zone and City Safari event for September in South Korea and Indonesia. For those who can’t make it to the in-person event, the next Pokemon GO Community Day will feature Popplio and will take place on August 31, between 2pm and 5pm local time. These events should provide players with new Pokemon to capture and showcase in their local Gyms and may lead to future screenshots of Gyms filled with similar-themed pocket monsters.
