Is this correct?

My level 33 snorlax is guarding gym and attacker is level 10, so my snorlax cp will be lowered to match attackers level.

If this is correct, then whats the point for being high level anymore? if defender pokemons cp will always be lowered???

In old days my snorlax was able to defeat 6 shitty pokemons from low level trainers, but i think its pretty much impossible now if the cp is lowered that much.

Your Snorlax will have his level lowered only to friendly trainers (same team), and NOT to "enemy" atackers.

well thanks

notes for new patch:
- fixed broken gym system. all your high cp pokemon get tuned down for attackers so it's harder to get free coins
- minor text fixes

There's no way Niantic would implement the level scaling for enemy attackers.

That would STRONGLY disincentivize leveling and basically everything in the game. So strongly that if they did that, I wouldn't be surprised if almost everyone quit. I know I would.

I'm not going to say Niantic is a brilliant company, but the fact that Ingress is still going at least proves they aren't stupid enough to do something that basically torpedoes their game.
