In Pokémon GO, like the [[core series]] games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers. If a tower is visible on your screen it can be selected from any distance away and its information can be scouted. The Gym screen will always show the Pokémon stationed there, the Pokémon's CP, the Trainers who have claimed the Gym (if any), the Trainer's level, and the battles won by the victorious Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is defeated it will be removed from the Gym and its stats will disappear. | In Pokémon GO, like the [[core series]] games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers.

If the tower is | Gyms are, at any given moment, in one of three states. It can be an '''unowned Gym''', a '''friendly Gym''' (a Gym which is owned by your team), or a '''rival Gym''' (a Gym owned by a different team). | ||
* If the tower's color is white, it means that the Gym is without an owner at the moment. If near the Gym, you can select it, and use ''Add Pokémon'' (the icon in the lower left corner of the Gym display screen) to gain control of the Gym immediately. Newly claimed Gyms automatically begin at Prestige level 2, allowing up to two Pokémon to be stationed there. | |||
* If a Gym tower's color matches your team color, it is a ''friendly'' Gym. Trainers on the same team as the Gym can: | |||
** ''Train'' there, by fighting Pokemon stationed at the Gym. You do this by opening the Gym display screen, and selecting ''Train'', the icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Defeating Pokemon at a Gym when they are on the same team as yours raises the Prestige of that gym, strengthening it, and you earn experience points. | |||
** ''Add a Pokémon'' to the Gym, if the Gym's prestige level is high enough to allow you to do so. You do this by opening the Gym display screen, and selecting ''Add a Pokémon'', in the lower left corner of the screen. (This option will not display if the Gym's prestige is too low to allow you to add one.) A Pokémon placed in a Gym cannot be removed until it is defeated by a challenging Trainer, at which point the Pokémon will return to your collection so you can use it again. This Pokémon will return at 1 HP, so remember to use healing items to restore your Pokémon's health when it returns. | |||
* If a Gym tower's color does not match your team color, it is a ''rival'' Gym. Trainers on a different team as the Gym can: | |||
** ''Fight'' there, by fighting Pokemon stationed at the Gym. You do this by opening the Gym display screen, and selecting ''Fight'', the icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Defeating Pokemon at a Gym when they are on a different team lowers the Prestige of that gym, weakening it, and you earn experience points. | |||
