Talk:Gym (GO)

Nicknames

According to the help center, it is not possible to see other players' Pokémon's nicknames. While there is a screenshot in the article of a Pokémon's nickname being displayed in a Gym, it was taken by the player themselves. Can anyone confirm whether or not other players' Pokémon's nicknames are visible in Gyms? --SnorlaxMonster 06:24, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

I clarified that only the player owning the defending Pokémon can see the nickname they gave it. -- Rmkane (talk) 06:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

STAB

"However, same-type attack bonus does not seem to apply." Same-type_attack_bonus says it applies in GO but only at 25%, a direct contradiction. Lpd (talk) 11:30, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, this page was written before the data dump ( which is why it says it doesn't seem to apply). Now that people have looked into the game's data properly, we know it is 25%. I'll update the page. --SnorlaxMonster 11:46, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Replacing defenders

How can players replace a gym's defenders if the gym is full? sumwun (talk) 14:48, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

They can't. Kubson302 (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Images

Images are outdated, is there a possibility to update them? I don't have permission, so that's why I ask. Kubson302 (talk) 14:24, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Old Gym Information

Gyms recently got a massive overhaul that changed many things about their function. Almost all of the old information has been removed from the page, but I think there still ought to be a section that describes how gyms used to operate. There seems to be precedent for this with other games that receive updates, but I wanted to make sure it was desired before making any changes. VioletPumpkin (talk) 13:29, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion, the old information should be split to a page titled Prestige, and that article should be linked from here. --SnorlaxMonster 13:54, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
