What happens if your Pokémon stays in a gym for 2 days?

In Pokémon Go, a gym can be a great way for your Pokémon to earn a steady income of PokéCoins, while also boosting their motivation and CP levels. However, if a Pokémon stays in a gym for an extended period, it may start to raise some questions. In particular, what happens if a Pokémon stays in a gym for 2 days or more? In this article, we’ll explore this question and provide some essential information on what you need to know.

Key Takeaways

• Staying in a gym for 2 days or more will not result in receiving 100 coins as originally thought.
• The CP of your Pokémon will no longer increase while it stays in the gym.
• The motivation of your Pokémon will decrease at a different rate depending on its CP level.
• You will continue to earn PokéCoins while your Pokémon stays in the gym, but you will reach a daily limit of 50 coins per day.

Earnings and Motivation

Initially, it was thought that if a Pokémon stayed in a gym for 2 days, players would receive 100 PokéCoins as a one-time bonus. However, this is not the case. Instead, the 50 coins per day maximum limit still applies, but you will continue to receive coins while your Pokémon is in the gym.

Staying in a gym will also affect your Pokémon’s motivation. Motivation is a crucial metric that affects your Pokémon’s performance and overall well-being. While in a gym, your Pokémon’s motivation will decrease at a specific rate. The rate is determined by its CP level:

• CP up to 2999: 1% per day
• CP above 3000: 10% per day ( bold indicates importance)

This means that you should keep an eye on your Pokémon’s motivation while it’s in the gym, especially if it has a high CP level.

CP and Leveling Up

Another important aspect is the CP of your Pokémon. CP stands for combat power, which determines its strength in battles. Once a Pokémon is in the gym, its CP no longer increases. This is because the gym’s buffs and bonuses are already reflecting in its CP.

Unfortunately, this means that there is no longer a cumulative effect on CP while the Pokémon stays in the gym. If you want your Pokémon to level up its CP, you’ll need to remove it from the gym and engage in training battles or other activities outside of the gym.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if your Pokémon stays in a gym for 2 days or more, your earnings will be capped at 50 coins per day, and your motivation may decrease depending on its CP level. While it might not be the most advantageous situation, it’s not the end of the world either. You can choose to keep your Pokémon in the gym to earn more coins, or remove it to engage in other activities and boost its CP level.

Table: Coins and Motivation Rates for Pokémon in a Gym

To summarize:

• Coins continue to earn, but capping at 50 coins per day
• No CP increase while in gym
• Motivation level decreases at a specific rate depending on CP level (1% for ≤2999, 10% for ≥3000 CP)

Keep in mind the importance of monitoring your Pokémon’s motivation and CP, especially if it has high CP.
