How Many Coins Do You Get for Defending a Gym for 2 Days?
Pokémon Go is a phenomenon that has taken the gaming world by storm, combining the classic Pokémon franchise with augmented reality and a virtual world. One of the key aspects of the game is the concept of battling and defending gyms with your Pokémon. In this article, we’ll discuss how many coins you earn for defending a gym for 2 days.
Daily Coin Limit
One important thing to keep in mind is that there’s a daily limit on coin earnings. Even with multiple Pokémon in multiple gyms, you can never earn more than 50 coins per day (bolded for emphasis).
Coin Earning Duration
Now, let’s talk about the coin-earning duration. For one day, your Pokémon earn coins at a rate of 6 coins per hour. This means if your Pokémon is defending the gym for 12 hours, you’ll earn 72 coins (calculated as 6 * 12).
Bonus Coins for Longer Duration
But what about longer periods? If your Pokémon can stay in the gym longer, you’ll earn bonuses. For example, when your Pokémon stays in for 8 hours and 20 minutes, they accrue 50 coins. From what we know, you need to wait for this designated time to pass for coins to be added.
Coin Earning Rates Based on Duration
| Coin Earning Duration | Bonus Coins |
|---|---|
| 4 hours | 0 bonus coins |
| 4-8 hours | ??? (not specified) |
| 8 hours, 20 minutes | 50 coins |
What about the 6-minute increments? Unfortunately, none of the sources provide that information. It seems trainers have to rely on calculating the bonus coins for fixed durations.
Two Day Coin Earning Calculation
Now, let’s suppose you have a Pokémon fighting in a gym for exactly 2 days (4 hours * 2 or 8 hours, as we don’t have solid data for 8, 16, 23, etc. hours).
Without bonus coins, we should expect 24 hours = 144 coins to be earned (based on the 6 coins/hour rate).
| Coin Earning Duration (2 days) | coins earned |
|---|---|
| 16 hours | 96 coins |
| 20+ hours | **???" |
We can see the number of coins earned without these bonus coins. To include the bonus coins for either 8 hours or even 16 hours (calculated as 4 and 8 hours in reverse), we’d have earned 50 coins immediately.
Combination of Coin Earnings Strategies
So, what strategies will you use to optimize coin earnings? Here are the main takeaways:
- Max your daily coin earnings with single-day gym battles, like the 8-hour marks.
- Use long sessions (8 hours) multiple times to earn extra.
- Consider using longer mark sessions (16, and 20+ hours combined) to earn more bonus rewards.
Conclusion
Conclusion: The coin earning aspect of Pokémon Go is relatively fixed, with a 1-day limit of 50 coins. Longer periods between coin earnings can occur naturally or through strategic playing practices. By understanding how often coins are earned, Trainers can optimize their defenses and maximize their coins acquired.
