Bubblestrat question?

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to the idea of Bubblestrat and i have a few questions about how to approach it and end result.

I have a lvl 1 Magikarp, does that mean its the "best" poke to defend a gym while I attack it? The only other lvl 1 poke I have is a weedle, would that be good yield of xp per fight? After I hit a high level on the gym, how do I remove my Magikarp and put up a stronger poke so it won't be taken down and i'l be SOL?

Assuming both are 10 cp, you'll get 500 prestige and 50 xp by attacking your magikarp with weedle. It's suboptimal, but still a decent way to gain prestige and xp. It'll take less than ten minutes for you to level the gym pass level 7, for example.

Unfortunately, there's no way for you to remove your magikarp from the gym. You'll have to wait until someone come and knock it out. This is why it's valuable to keep an eye out for more matchup options.

Bubblestrat is the fastest way to power level gyms, and depending on your setup, potentially the most efficient way to powerlevel your trainer as well.

Thank you very much for your reply. I have some clarification on it now.. and its much needed.

Now if I had my gf with me using her rattata (lvl 2 with 10 hp and takle as its initial move) as a second defender , could my weedle make bubblestrat more efficient?

Another question about that is.. say I had the gym at lvl 9 and me and my gf had 2 defenders, but both were removed from battles, would the gym be a lvl 7 with all empty slots? Could I then use my stronger pokes to defend a gym that way?

No it would be lvl 7 with both of your pokemon in it still. It just knocks off the empty slots until it gets to you guys.

Best thing to do is to create another account, add your bubblestrat defender from there, and power level with your attacker on your main account. Myself and other Valor members created other accounts to catch Horseas, added those to gyms, then caught 10 CP Digletts on our main accounts to power level gyms and gain XP. We usually put 2 or 3 level 1.5 Horsea's in there at a time, level up with our Digletts and then drop our strongest mons.
