Best possible CP for a defender in the current meta
Is it 2999? I'm asking because I have 3 Blisseys that I maxed when I was at lvl 34, and now I'm done powering them up since defenders are obviously useless. But I think I got real lucky cas there all so close to 3k. (2996, 2991, 2987)

cp stats is most idiotic thing in this game im my opinion...now after change(rework) i dont care for defenders because there is no point so there is no point of cp for me any more....with cp you dont know how much you pokemon have atack def..you need search on net to find how good is your pokemon...that i just me..probably 90% of ppl wont agree with me...
Fast decay makes sense in the current perverse system. Once you place your defender you want people to leave it alone for a few hours. A strong Blissey is annoying and takes time, thus is perfect for this role. On the next morning, you want that passer-bys can take out the gym fast and easy - and a full demotivated Blissey is good for this again.
Totally agree.
Why can't the fast decay at least revert to normal decay as soon as the mon falls below 3k?
It's like someone earns 99k and has to pay 30k in taxes, another one earns 101k and has to pay 50k, leaving him much less. No tax system works like this. But here they basically rendered my best three defenders useless (Blissey and two Snorlax with >3k).
Well I'm really annoyed and planning to not spend any real money again until this is changed.
Psychic is a seriously terrible move, dazzling gleam is by far better. I have three 2730;2611; 2600--ZH/HB; ZH/DG; ZH/DG
I'm in the residential area of a city, there are hundreds of gyms within 5 miles. I just want to protect the ones near where I live with bulky defenders--there is a whole population of current players that a) too lazy b) lack a 2500+ Rhydon that can methodically take a Blissey down.
I want the top level players to have to take down my gyms, it wastes their time and potions.
Totally agree that 2999 is the best CP for defenders.
I have a 15/15/14 Blissey that I powered up to 3005 jus before the gym re-work (thanks for the warning Niantic . . .).
Supposedly, CP>=3000 lose 10% of max motivation per hour, which means that they should last 10 hours without being fed berries. This means it should be theoretically possible for the mon to collect the maximum 50 coins (8 hours 20 mins) if left completely alone. However, my experience is that my 3005 Blissey goes down much quicker - I guess that a low motivation Blissey is considered to be an easy target.
My second Blissey with CP = 2856 (I only have 2 Blisseys by the way) only loses 1% of max motivation per hour (and should therefore theoretically last 100 hours if left completely alone) lasts much longer in gyms. Now whether or not this is good with respect to collecting coins is open to debate and depends on how many gyms of your team you have access to in your area . .
