Does Gym rework also mean that Top Defenders change?

There is possibility of different motivation loss rates and amount of berries needed to feed them up.

Can't wait for someone to crack the numbers.

I think 3K actually is 1% deterioration. So he is good. Don't quote me on that though since it seems like something I've read but not tried.

Edit: Did some checking and nope he will deteriorate at 10%. 3K and above is 10% deterioration per hour.

I will try it myself, and then, i will hopefully soon TM him into my third dragonite-attacker.

Why the distinction >3k and <3k?

Its early days but it seems above 3K your CP decay is larger than below 3K. So I think ideally you want your monster to be 2999. Basically close to but not exceeding

I don't know that I would work very hard to get too close to that line of 3K. A small CP recalculation by Niantic could hurt a vast number of your defensive squad in one fell swoop.

3K+ mons deteriorate at 10% every hour while anything under 3K deteriorates at 1% every hour.

2991 blissey, whew

I guess I will hope for a minor snorlax nerf. Crazy. 3003, 3010, (3027 lick body slam move to attack squad).

The 3000+ decay slows down after a while though.

My 3003 and 3010 snorlax are now around 900 after 12 hour and keep getting messaged to feed them. Must be 10% of remaining cp.

I'd love more detail on this.

I don't even know if defenders matter anymore, all changes seem to favor attack. After the mons lose about 1/3 of their CP they hardly get a chance to use charge moves (except maybe Blissey). Even if they do get off a charge move the damage is so dramatically lowered it's hardly worth dodging. It appears to me that the point is volume of defenders (20 per) over quality. Work on improving your attackers for raids.

For example, I used some specialists to take out each mon the first pass. After that a lev 31 Exeg and 31 Vap (maybe throw in a Machamp) can take it the rest of the way down without using any revives.

There's an astronomical difference between CP 2999 and CP 3000?
Just like the difference in prestige gain when the attacker is 1 CP higher compared to same CP?
