- Gyms in Pokemon GO are important for trainers to battle rivals and claim control, allowing for team progression and bonus rewards.

- Upcoming Pokemon GO events include a new Community Day.
A Pokemon GO player shared a screenshot of their local Gym filled only with evolutions of Eevee, the adorable creature that first appeared in 1996’s Pokemon Red and Blue and has been a franchise mascot ever since. While Gyms are a common feature in Pokemon GO, filling one only with specific pocket monsters takes time and dedication, as highlighted by the player who shared this screenshot.
Gyms are important for trainers wanting to improve their team in Pokemon GO. Trainers can battle the Pokemon of their rivals to take control of these points of interest and claim the Gym for their team. Each trainer of the same team can assign one Pokemon to defend a Gym, with up to a total of 6 defending creatures. Defending or attacking a Gym in Pokemon GO awards the progression of a badge that grants an additional bonus when spinning the Gym’s Photo Disc to collect experience points, Poke Balls, Berries, and other useful in-game items.
