Spoofer attack

Prestiging usually costs more than take downs. You can take 2-3 mons down with a good pokémon and an hyper potion while you can prestige maybe 1-2 times with a pokemon before it needs a potion. More time effective too.

It costs more resources to prestige up a gym as there is a need to find the best matchup and the highest prestige points possible. Blissey has the worst matchup. So what I did often is to knock down the gym and leave it with a Blissey. It often works and the bots and spoofers would stop prestiging.

Report them to niantic.
I was sure a person had multiple accounts.
I made a report for each account.
Niantic has banned each one.

The night before last with all new accounts another spoofer attack happened. I took screen grabs on my way to work and was going to make reports when I got home that evening. But when I return back home all the spoofer accounts had already been banned and the spoofer gyms were vacated.

Niantic was on it and banned them before I could file the reports.

It is awesome when the local gyms turn over with the local teams a couple times a day instead full of yellow team spoofers.

No point fighting than... you alone and thay are just like wolfs, you need find team and every time thay chrush gyms you and frends go out and train all gyms... olny than thay maybe leave :) but if you do this alone no chance, to much time and potions...

First, I wouldn't assume that behavior is spoofers.

Here, we have a group of several players on IM, and we occasionally go and take down a local area with 4-10 gyms as a team. We aren't spoofing, just working together in an organized way.

Second, yes, bubblestrat enables you to prestige a gym quickly and without use of potions or revives. You can build a L10 gym alone in about half an hour.

However, that gym is a house of cards. If you are alone, there's a single mon, with <50CP at the top of the gym. Any opposing team can come in and wipe that gym out in a few minutes, collecting several thousand XP in the process. Unless you have a team of players that can put strong mons into the gym, bubblestrat is more likely to be a gift to the other team than to yours.

It also requires very specific conditions:
- If someone puts a strong mon above your bubblestrat defender, that will cause you problems. The stronger mon will wipe out your attacker before you can run, and you'll start spending revives/potions.

• If the gym comes under attack while you are stratting it up, you've lost. An attacker can bring the gym down faster than you can build it up.

So, bubblestrat works, but places that you can use it an an effective, strategic fashion, without cheating an using multiple accounts, are very limited.

Dude it takes more less 1 hour to take down a level 10 gym probably another 1 hour to Prestige it back to Level 10.

You can't do it by yourself. I suggest start a group of active players
