13 Ways Pokemon GO Has Improved Since Release

Training Gyms

Training Gyms hasn’t changed fundamentally since Pokemon GO released, but it has been altered in order to make things that little bit more balanced and fair for Gym defenders. Prior to the update, training up a Gym meant you took one Pokemon and tried to fight your way through all of the creatures currently defending it.

When Niantic opted to amend this in October, trainers who wanted to train a Gym could now take in six Pokemon with them to help make their way through the defenses. Not only did this make grinding your Gym way less difficult, but it also made for more balanced Gym battles. An integral update, especially considering Gym battles are at the center of the Pokemon GO experience.
