‘Pokemon Go’ Cheats, Tips And Tricks: Top Gym Battle Tips To Survive And Win

Every "Pokemon GO" player builds up to their gym battle experience. To get the most of a gym battle, "Pokemon GO" players have a few tricks they can keep up their sleeves.

"Pokemon GO" players should remember that in a gym battle with rival gyms, a downed Pokemon cannot be revived or healed until after the battle as Parent Herald cites. When a Pokemon is downed, the next one in the roster automatically replaces the fainted Pokemon.

  For this reason, "Pokemon GO" players should carefully assess the battle strengths of each Pokemon. Phandroid proposes out that quick, powerful attacks bring "Pokemon GO" players the strongest advantage during gym battle.

Specifically, Phandroid points out that "Pokemon GO" players should pay attention to the following attacks when assessing their Pokemon: Pound, Metal Claw, Psycho Cut, Water Gun, Bite ,Dragon Breath, Scratch, Wing Attack, Fire Fang, Shadow Claw and Feint Attack. "Pokemon GO" players would also be well advised to pay attention to the Zen Headbutt, Poison Jab, Steel Wing, Bug Bite, Frost Breath, Mud Slap, Mud Shot, Tackle and Bubble.

Naturally, the Pokemon with less than desirable battle skills are mostly better off for transferring to the Professor. The media outlet recommends www.pokemongo.gamepress.gg as a go-to for "Pokemon GO" players.

During gym battle, Phandroid highlights that dodging is as important as attacking. For a "Pokemon GO" player to master the skill of dodging, two cues are provided in the game.

One is that "Pokemon GO" requires 1.5 seconds between attacks. The other is that the "Pokemon GO" screen flashes with yellow light to indicate that an attack is incoming.

When the opponent is gearing up for a special Pokemon attack, Phandroid recommends dodging two to three times continuously. A "Pokemon GO" player may take a damage especially when the opponent is a higher CP Pokemon, but through dodging the damage is reduced.
