Is the stat "def" used in attack and "atk" used in defense?

e.g. If im attacking a gym, are my mon's def stat active or is it only used when defending a gym? and vice versa with atk

thx

Both stats are always active. The attack is measured against the defense and an appropriate amount of HP removed upon each hit, whether that be in gyms, raids, or PvP, and applies in either direction.

thank you for the clarification

Damage = Floor(½∗Power∗Atk/Def∗Multipliers)+1

When determining how much damage a pokemon deals, its attack is divided by the other pokemon's defense. If its attack is higher than the other pokemon's defense, that increases the damage; if lower, that reduces the damage.
