Gym territory and reputation part four

With the influx of golden razz berries strangled you'll either need to boss raid a lot or feed your gyms smarter.

Assuming that you don't have the option to join five or more boss raids on a daily basis we'll have a closer look at smart berry feeding. Sure, if you can collect thirty plus berries a day then go ahead and spam those gyms.


Now, let's say you're limited to ten to fifteen berries a day. Any less and you're basically unable to defend gyms. Free to play simply doesn't cut it. So three or four raids a day. Yup, that means you're buying coins. Two or three if the opposition isn't all that serious about taking back the gyms.


Stick to feeding the big three. This especially if the gym you're defending sees a lot of traffic. You should be able to allow the crap to get ousted and see a new set of crap inserted. Most attackers drop off when the gym is repopulated.

In fact most attackers leave the gym if the blissey receives one golden razz berry. So that first berry is by far the most important.


Create a chat for handling gyms. After all it's impossible to reliably defend gyms alone, or at least with one account. During the occasions where attacking players get serious one feeder just doesn't cut it, but two can very often shut down the gym indefinitely.


Dare to see your gyms going down, but also be prepared to get out there and fix the damage if it's done while the conditions for the gym 'being yours' are met. Unless you're defending the gym prior to a juicy raid, just let it go down whenever you know that fellow players are inbound.
