That's strange. I'm not that player level and I still easily take down the highest gyms I've seen, which are level 6-7. As long as you can beat the weakest monster in the gym you can attack over and over until the prestige is low enough that there is only one monster in the gym. At that point it is easy to defeat even a 2,500CP Dragonite with 6 crappy Gobats since you have 6 shots to wear him down.
The only limiting factor for taking down gyms for me is the number of potions I have. I usually only fight with half dead monsters so I can use revives instead, then I use potions for the one that I put in as a defender to conserve potions.
- jhchen 10y agoI think what the OP means by winning is keeping control of the gym, to your point exactly. I am also at level 23 and can take out pretty much any gym. But right when I walk out of range, someone half my level using either a full six roster or type advantage or both will boot me out. When the game came out I could maybe stay in control of a gym for a day but now it has not exceeded half an hour so I no longer try.
- jfoutz 10y agoThere is no keeping gyms. The game is seeing how many you can grab before you cash in your rewards. I think this is a nice change from ingress, where there was very little a low level player could do about a high level portal.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIndeed. Few days ago I took over a gym on my way to work. I thought, hey, there's another gym right next to the office. I'm not going to be greedy, I'll just take that other one and cash in. I don't think I made it to the tram stop 5 minutes down the road before someone took that previous gym back...
