In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, limited to 100 seconds.
In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, with a limit of 100 seconds per defender.


When you fight at Gyms and defeat a Pokemon (whether rival or friendly), you will earn experience points.
When you fight at Gyms and defeat a Pokemon, you will earn experience points.


Depending on whether the Gym is a rival Gym or a friendly Gym, the format will be slightly different.
At a rival Gym, you will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym. If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a rival Gym...
** You will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a friendly Gym...
** You will choose one of your own Pokémon to train against a single Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon will return to your collection with 1 HP.

* '''[[Fast Attack]]''': Tap your screen repeatedly.
* '''Special attack''': hold a long press on your Pokémon; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
* '''[[Charged Attack]]''': Tap the icon detailing the move's type; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
Basic type effectiveness also plays an important role, exactly like in the core games. [[Same-type attack bonus]] is only 1.25× in Pokémon GO, so it's less important than in the core series games.

Two buttons in the bottom-right of the screen will also allow you to forfeit the battle (top) or switch to another Pokémon on your team (bottom).
