Gym raiding, network error

I've been running into the ultimate gym defender a number of times now.

Network Error.

Some verified observations:

  • You are able to finish one battle before it occurs
  • You're unable to finish a second battle
  • After a few minutes it's reset so that you can finish one battle...
  • after which the error comes back again

Anecdotal observations:
  • The problem tends to happen at gyms you've finished a boss raid at during the same day
  • The problem is gone the next day

Be wary of the anecdotal obervations. As a player I'm a being of habit just like most players. The gyms I raid (not boss raids) are quite often the same gyms. Ie my home territory, which means the error could very well be tied to the gym rather than being keyed to a boss raid.

I don't know a fix, if any. If you have infinite time you could just run one battle, restart the game and wait a few minutes. Eventually you'll go through the gym unless someone comes by and inserts a new defender. This is a real risk as you'll see the ten minutes lockdown come and go long before you've cleaned out the gym. In any case it'll take you at least the same time as tearing down a well built level ten tower of days gone by.
