New to the extreme end-game, gym raider, gym oddities

Let's have a look at some gym oddities.


A fun one. Sometimes when you try to join the very last fight in a gym and the defender goes down before you can join battle the entire screen goes blue and you look at the data for a CP 9999 hitmonchan. Exit game and restart.


A stupid one. When you open a gym to see what's inside and leave it the entire game freezes. Exit game and restart.


A crippling one. More often than not, if you refuse to join the fight after you kicked a defender out of the gym, then when you try to enter combat again you'll get an error 29. It lasts for ten minutes during which you can't attack the gym. You either:

  • wait ten minutes
  • wait for the first defender in the gym to be kicked out
If you're raiding this means you have to tell your group that the fist defender needs to be shave out of the gym, or you'll have to do something else for ten minutes.


An misinformative one. You try to assign a defender to a gym and fail because 'the gym is currently under attack'. Next time you're busy kicking out that lonesone blissey, and when you finish the first of three fights you notice that it goit company by a snorlax.

It's got nothing to do with 'is currently under attack'.

When the first defender is kicked out a ten minute timer starts during which new defenders cannot be assigned to the gym.

Observe 'first'.

When you kick out defender number two the timer doesn't reset to a fresh ten minutes but continue to blithely tick down. Ten minutes after you kicked the first defender out it's perfectly possible to assign new defenders to the gym. This means you could be busy kicking defender number four out when the gym suddenly starts to get repopulated.

Wait. It's even crazier. If, for some reason, the ten minute timer counts down to zero before the gym is entirely cleaned out, then whenever a defender does get kicked out a new ten minute timers starts.
