Trainers can assign one Pokémon to the Gym, but teams are able to assign up to 6 Pokémon to a Gym, requiring teamwork to fill up the Gym.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if your Pokémon stays in a Gym for 24 hours?

Can I pull my Pokémon out of a Gym?
Once a Pokémon is placed in a Gym, it cannot be taken out until it’s knocked out by another player, making strategic placement crucial.
Do you get 100 coins if your Pokémon stays in a Gym for 2 days?
There is a cap of 50 Coins per day regardless of how long your Pokémon has been defending a Gym or how many Pokémon return from defending Gyms in the same day.
What’s the point of holding a Gym in Pokémon Go?
Holding a Gym will give every player with a Pokémon present in said Gym a bonus amount of Stardust and, much more importantly, Gold, which is the only currency the Pokémon GO shop currently accepts.
Can you refund a purchase on Pokémon Go?
If you wish to receive a refund for PokéCoins you purchased, please contact Apple Support (iOS users), Galaxy App Store (Samsung users), or Google Play Help (Android users) to review their respective refund policies.

Trainers can even earn handy rewards depending on how long they defend a Gym for, with the potential to earn up to 6 Poke Coins per hour, reaching a maximum of 50 Coins per day.
What is the 1000 Gym limit in Pokémon Go?
Once you reach 1,000 Gold Gym Badges, they will start to disappear from your Badge list as you discover more Gyms, but spinning the photo disk of a Gym that has left your list again will return your Gold Badge and its extra rewards.
Will I get 350 PokéCoins or 50 if I only have one Pokémon in the Gym for 7 days?
You’ll get only 50 and it’s of the day your Pokémon returned, since the limit of PokeCoin you can get in a single day is 50.
Does a Pokémon on Gym give you 50 PokéCoins every day?
The daily limit is 50 coins a day, and a Pokémon defending a Gym for several days should earn the daily amount of coins for each day that it stays there, but due to the current mechanics, it earns 50 coins only when it’s knocked out.
Is there a 50 coin limit in Pokémon Go?
Each trainer is limited to 50 coins a day from Gyms, with coins only being rewarded once a Pokémon is knocked out, which has frustrated some Pokémon Go players seeking an alternative system.

Your Pokémon will earn 6 coins per hour it’s in a Gym, but you’ll only see those coins once your Pokémon gets defeated and returns home.
How many times can you put a Pokémon in a Gym?
Teams are able to assign up to 6 Pokémon to a Gym, but a single Trainer can only assign one Pokémon to the Gym — so you’ll need your teammates’ help in filling up the Gym.
What level will Pokémon not obey?
Traded Pokémon will disobey you after level 10, and you’ll need the second badge to have level 30 and below traded Pokémon to obey you, while Pokémon you’ve caught directly in your game will never disobey you.
What level do Pokémon stop obeying you with no badges?
With no badges, it’s up to Lv. 20, with each badge upping that limit by 10 until you get all the badges, at which point all Pokémon will always obey you.
Why won’t traded Pokémon obey me?
A Pokémon received via trade won’t obey your orders until you impress it with the Gym Badges you’ve earned by defeating the Gym Leaders, emphasizing the importance of earning badges to command higher-level Pokémon.
