A suggestion for Niantic to save time when battling (esp. prestiging)
This is a really small, insignificant complaint, no doubt, but it would greatly increase the quality of my gym battling life! :) I suggest that Niantic include a button or option where the team that is automatically selected when battling a gym (particularly when I am prestiging), is the same team that I last used.
I find that I waste A LOT of time when choosing my team, particularly when I'm prestiging. I know that I can change how my inventory is listed, and I can change my pokemon's names to enable grouping, but I still find listing by CP preferable. But when I prestige, it takes a lot of time. For example, say I wanted to max-prestige against a level 4 gym where the bottom defender has 2500 CP. So, I want to choose 6 attackers at 1250 CP or less. I spend a lot of time scrolling, scrolling and scrolling for all 6 attackers, even though I only need maybe the first 4. Also, I invariably mess something up and have to redo 1 or 2 of the attackers. Or, I get everyone selected just right and then the app crashes on the first battle. Or, everything goes fine and I max prestige the gym. I heal my team and then have to reselect them all over again one at a time to attack the gym again, if I want to do so a second or third time.
I often thought of how nice it would be to have a button or setting where the auto-selected team would be the last one used.

Just make bunch of 1400cp wigglytuffs with pound + play rough and now you have generalist prestigers that works in many situations.
This is much easier than every freaking time scroll down and look for some little type advantage, jeez.
Try get wigglys with +defense, but no attack or stamina.
To keep cp lower for more prestige.
Wiggly have decent attack alrdy and high stamina.
Extra defense is good, thou you get dmg reduction from dodging anyways.
I find 1400cp most useful in my area.
For me general prestigers are just a filler, nothing more, I use them to fill that 6th spot when I know I have all the advantages on the other 5 mon and knowing that if I don't miss dodge an HB for example I will prestige the gym with 5 or less of them.
There is no point of using a 6x normal type or 6x same mon to prestige, it is repetitive and boring and it is not time efficient at all.
This has got to be among the most requested features! In addition to auto-selecting last team, I would add:
- allow multi-select of team (like with mass-transfers)
- allow "drag and drop" re-ordering of the team
- folders to better organize the mons (could still be by CP within each folder) - then could have a folders of different CP teams (when only want to prestige against the 1st couple of PKM), eg: Team600, Team1000, Team1500 or whatever.
Any or all of these changes would dramatically improve the game-play experience!
