The extremely short list, gym attackers for prestige

I just posted a short list of vital attackers.


You've put a lot of effort into pushing your line-up to max. Could it be used for adding prestige to a gym?

Well, partially.

If you don't push for the maximum 1000 prestige per combat but can settle for 500 - 800 prestige, then you could use some of your maxed out attackers.

First we'll list the defenders and which pokemon of your attackers, if any, can be reused.

Defenders list:

• Tyranitar -- vaporeon (often), machamp (very often)
• Dragonite -- lapras (always), jynx (always)
• Snorlax -- vaporeon (sometimes), gyarados (sometimes), machamp (often)
• Rhydon -- vaporeon (often), exeggutor (very often), victreebel (always), venusaur [this pokemon was omitted from the attackers list] (always)
• Gyarados -- jolteon (almost always)
• Blissey -- machamp (often)
• Vaporeon -- exeggutor (often), victreebel (always), venusaur (almost always)
• Exeggutor -- sorry, you're out of luck
• Lapras -- You're either out of luck or have several jolteon you never powered up

Then let's have a look at your attackers.

Victreebel, venusaur and exeggutor, in that order of preference, can be used against rhydon and vaporeon

Machamp can be used against tyranitar, snorlax and blissey.

Observe that you're highly unlikely to last through the blissey with one machamp, especially if it comes with Zen Headbutt and Dazzling Gleam.

Lapras and jynx can be used against dragonite. Lapras for downing more than one, and jynx for speeding through exactly one.

Jolteon can be used against gyarados and vaporeon. I advice slotting in an extra jolteon for every target (two gyarados / vaporeon should see you assign three jolteon), since both Hydro Pump and Outrage mauls your jolteon.

The jolteon army (several eevees evolved into jolteon and left as is) can also be used against lapras. This is actually the preferred way to handle vaporeon and gyardos, but it comes at a higher cost in terms of potions and revives.

Vaporeon can be used against rhydon, tyranitar and snorlax. It's a little too high on the CP-scale to always work, and in the case of snorlax we're talking tanking the defender down, which is a tedious process.

Gyarados can be used against snorlax. In reality gyarados can only be used against a maxed out snorlax. A little quicker than vaporeon, but we're still slugging it out.

Conclusions

Just get yourself a victreebel and a machamp. They're just that useful, and machamp will only become more and more important as players slowly catch more and more larvitar.

If for some strange reason you haven't done so, fix that lapras. Sure you can go with the jynx, or in worst case push a cloyster, but you really, really, really want that lapras.

Don't transfer those jolteon at 2000 - 2200 CP you get from evolving eevee at 700 or higher CP. The jolteon army is a fantastic asset for prestige combat.
