A Pokemon GO player’s Beartic and Venusaur have been defending two separate gyms for around six months. In Pokemon GO, players are divided into three groups, Valor, Mystic, and Instinct, which allows them to challenge and lay claim to any gym in the augmented reality game for their team. If the gym is not empty, the player must first challenge the team currently in control of the Pokemon GO gym, and after winning, they can leave a Pokemon of their own, signifying that a new team has taken over.
