Strange happenings at the gym

My wife and I went for a poke-walk after work this afternoon, just to spin a few stops and take over a couple of gyms.

All was going well. We took our third gym of the afternoon, put the mons in, fed, spun and left. About 15 minutes later I got a notification that my wigglytuff had fought hard and had come home. The weird thing is that my wifes mon was still sitting in the gym, by itself, fully motivated. It was still there four hours later.

I think of at least one way that only one mon could be kicked out of a gym, but it's all a bit odd. Has this happened to anyone else?

Most likely you got shaved from the gym.

Yeah the past 2 days I've noticed the same, I just thought the other people in the gym were berrying their pokemon and I just wasn't paying attention and got knocked out. But this morning the same thing happened but the other pokemon's motivation stayed the same.

The two most likely explanations are that someone was trying to take the pokemon out one by one, but then had to stop playing for some reason and left, or that the gym was full so somebody with two accounts knocked you off to put his own pokemon on.

My guess is someone was getting hit with the endless network errors, and gave up trying to take down the gym. Most of the time when I fight in gyms now, I can only beat one defender at a time, at best, before it errors me out of the gym and makes me start over. That frequently means I kick the defenders out one at a time, and sometimes it's just not worth bothering to finish when the game is acting so glitchy that it's clearly going to take an hour to finish off a single gym.

this has happened to me a few times over the last 2 weeks as well. I think it is when one of the gym holders is actively feeding the mons or even maybe even viewing the gym.

Best defender in the game = shity coding.

Weird. My experience is the opposite. If I leave after beating a few but not all defenders, then when I try to fight again I get errors. I have to go all the way through or I can't fight again.

It is shaving under the new gym system. The first Mon put in the gym usually gets shaved first, FIFO

Wow, didn't realise some places have so much gym trouble. Where I live most trainers leave black hearts so taking a gym is a matter of minutes. High turnover but no prob getting 50 coins per day. I've got 13 gold gym badges now.
