Unbelievable! This Pokemon Has Held a Gym for Over 1000 Days!

by

Summary

  • Pokemon GO player’s Metagross has defended a gym for over 1000 days, with a Snorlax close behind.
  • The rural gym location with poor connectivity has helped the Pokemon stay in the gym for so long.
  • Recall of Pokemon from gyms is impossible, leaving trainers to rely on community help.

A dedicated Pokemon GO player is exhibiting the long-standing defenders they’ve positioned in Pokemon gyms, with one surpassing 1000 consecutive days and another not far behind. The feats showcased in Pokemon GO have left the community amazed, as most trainers find it challenging to maintain gym defense for more than a few hours or days.

After overpowering the leading team in a Pokemon gym battle, players are offered the chance to station one of their Pokemon there to aid in its defense. Over time, gyms are frequently challenged by trainers from other teams, causing most Pokemon to eventually be defeated. Remarkably, this player’s Pokemon have been defending a gym for close to three years.

Sarvesh_s, a dedicated player of Pokemon GO, recently shared an image showcasing one of their Pokemon that had successfully defended a gym for over 1000 days. This achievement was eagerly anticipated by Sarvesh_s, and they managed to snap the screenshot at the exact moment when their Metagross surpassed 1000 days and 1 second defending a gym. Most players would be amazed and in awe of such an accomplishment alone, but what’s even more astonishing is that right next to the Metagross stands a Snorlax that has been guarding a gym for 999 days and only 8 minutes short of completing 24 hours at the time of posting. Among Sarvesh_s other Pokemon, a Marowak and Vileplume also impress with their gym control durations of 674 days each.

Pokemon GO Players Stunned by Gym Feat

Other commenters have praised sarvesh_s for their Pokemon’s performance, yet they were puzzled about how a Pokemon could sustain defense for such an extended period. Sarvesh_s shared that they were traveling when they put these Pokemon in the gyms, and these gyms were located in remote regions of India with subpar internet connectivity. This suggests that not many, if any, players have visited this area and tried to challenge the gym controlled by Pokemon GO‘s team.

In some instances, players humorously speculate that the captured Pokemon may forget their trainers upon their eventual return, given the possibility of such an occurrence. A primary concern among Pokemon GO enthusiasts is the lack of a manual option to bring a Pokemon back from a gym. For some trainers like Sarvesh_s, there have been instances where a Pokemon has defended a gym for months or even years, with no means other than patience or asking another player to challenge the gym and defeat their Pokemon. Due to the Pokemon being located in a remote area with poor cell reception, even reaching out to the community for assistance may prove futile.
