Longest Run In A Gym
Two days ago I lost my longest gym run ever. Had a Jolteon in a gym for over Five months!!!!! Never had any other mon come even close.
He was placed in a gym ? away in a church that was only accessible by walking when I had some free time between work. Cannot even remember the village.
Just goes to show how vibrant gyms are in some burbs where spoofers are not present!
So what's your longest Gym placement?

Lol i realize that by Jersey you mean Newark, etc, but I've got a friend in Philly who put some mons out in Camden, NJ ... and they've been sitting there for a few months.
If anyone doesn't know about Camden, it's basically like post-war Afghanistan, I doubt many trainers are walking around the streets playing PoGo. If you find places like this, you can definitely clean up ...
The key to long gyms is really:
1) Location - If no one goes there, or bad cell coverage, you can stay for months more of a function of limited traffic.
2) Dominant team areas - If you are high level, I've noticed some gyms rarely, if ever fall...You are more likely to get shaved off by teammates than a rival wasting 45min-hour to clear it). This may change when spring/summer comes and areas are more busy.
My longest is probably 2-3 months in a gym you have to walk/run about 15 minutes to. Cars can't park/stop so it gets shaved occassionaly, but never torn down completely.
I think a lot of high level players are content mostly to not attack rival gyms anymore due to time and their potions/revives dedicated more to prestiging their own spots (my case).
Prestiging uses a lot more potions/revives in general due to dodge bug and 1/2 CP.
I've had several last for around two months. The first was a pre-nerf CP 2100 Nidoqueen that I put in after levelling up a level 9 gym in a small town that is sort of off the beaten path.
Right before Gen 2 was released, I had about eight mons still in gyms that I had placed between Christmas Eve and mid-January (so, roughly 5-8 weeks), but most came back to me right after the Gen 2 release.
