very contested gym advice

hi all. first EX raid comes to my city next week and most of the players are part of a big chat group for raiding, we plan to fight it out for control before the raid so any players from bigger cities with hot gyms got any tips ? numbers will be a couple of dozen tops among the main 2 teams so i'm curious about the limit to berries being fed to a monster by everyone and mainly best ways to attack against a gym being berried (i'd guess in waves so 'mons get hit 3 times in quick succession ?).

would appreciate any tips, does original defender tend to stay on if golden berries are unlimited or does it change hands several times ? cheers !

- You can feed I believe up to 10 times in a small period, and the CP replenished diminishes unless you're using Golden Razz Berries.

- Well-fed Pokemon can still be sometimes taken down if the attackers stagger the battles and beat it in three separate battles at once, but this is very difficult and unlikely. It's usually only feasible to do this in two separate battles, so feed it when it loses its first chunk of motivation to prevent this

- A highly-employed strategy is to wear down the first attacker, so make sure the first attacker is something hard-hitting like a ZH/DG Blissey, IT/CR Tyranitar, DT/DC Dragonite, or CON/DG Gardevoir

- Set up the gym to require lots of pokemon switches. Mix Pokemon that require Machamp counters like Blissey and Slaking with Pokemon that obliterate fighting-types like Gardevoir and Hex/SB Gengar

From my experience, it seems to be 10 berries per mon per trainer every 30 min.

The best advice I have is to get several trainers with a bunch of golden razzes and to get there early.

Time is more important for goldenrazz feeding and to prevent "beat it in three separate battles at once", so only Blissey is viable here

Get there very early. Flip the gym. Have a team of trainers with several hundred golden razz berries camp out til it hatches.

If you're in a big city it will be near impossible for then to do the stagger trick WaterYouWading4 has mentioned. There will be way too many people there to get everyone on the same page. One stray attacker should be enough to mess up the flow.

On the off chance they do remove a defender You must hold the line for ten minutes. Although the gym will be under constant attack you and your team will have a small window to drop in defenders once space becomes available. Have a berry team ready and a team of people spamming placing a defender simultaneously.

All that said its been my experience that Mewtwo is easily obtainable once you actually get the invite. More people who raid it have caught it than not. Two balls may not make a huge difference. That said if there is ever a time to really try and hold a gym its an EX raid.

Good luck.
