World Record? Japanese trainer holds gym for 1,422 days and counting in Pokémon GO? ›

After 8 hours and 20 minutes in a gym, a pokemon has accrued 50 coins and can never accrue more. But the trainer does not get the coins until the pokemon is ejected from the gym, and even then the coins may do no good if the trainer has already received 50 coins from other gyms that day.

Gym overview

Each Gym has up to six Pokémon assigned to defend it. Trainers from an opposing team can bring six of their own Pokémon to battle against the defenders, in hopes of claiming the Gym for their own team.

A Pokemon will stay in a gym until its “motivation" hits “0” - or until it is knocked out by a trainer of a different team. If you find an unpopular gym (with no nearby trainers), and drop the right defender into it, your defender may stay indefinitely, with regular feeding of golden berries.

There is a hard limit of 20 Pokemon that can defend Gyms in Pokemon GO at one time. Players can gain benefits by battling at Gyms and defending them with their Pokemon. The limit is in place to prevent players from unfairly dominating Gyms and to limit PokeCoin earnings.

However, you can only earn a maximum of 50 PokéCoins per day, even if all Pokémon are removed from all the Gyms you are defending at once. Additionally, if your Pokémon has been in a Gym for several days, they will only provide 50 coins in total when they come back to you.

Teams are able to assign up to 6 Pokémon to a Gym, but a single Trainer can only assign one Pokémon to the Gym. Only one Pokémon of a single species can be assigned to a Gym at one time.

Each player may have up to 5 Pokémon on the Bench at any one time.

If a Trainer earns eight Badges from one region, they become eligible to enter that region's Pokémon League Conference. There are more than eight Gyms, and thus Gym Leaders, in each region.
