Is there a good way to stop someone from creating a level 10 Gym when they are using Bubblestrat? There is a guy in the neighborhood who must have 10 accounts and one on another team. He takes over the Gym and then makes it level 10 and last time he put in 9 Blissey's all over 2600 CP and 3400 Dragonite in my closest Gym. I saw creating the gym with a 20CP Haunter so I know he used Bubblestrat. Was wondering if in his process there was a way to get rid of the Haunter in the middle so he would have to go against one of his Blissey's to create his Gym?
each time you kill haunter, you lower the gym by 2000 xp. You need not chose attacking team, just take what is suggested - you are super fast.
Your opponent has to chose his team of six prestigers every for every run.
In theory, you should be able to stop this building process, and you get lots of xp for doing so.
I don'tt know but you can do like I do.. 9 blissey and one Dragonite? OK I'm going to klil you 2 blissey once and for good.. GYM level 8 now.. go and prestige those 7 blisseys now fucker..
They do but they have a terrible hard time.. they did it today I killed 1 and still level 8. Not easy to prestige blissey..
He might be using a BOT attack. Not sure how I could tell? Unsure how he would have so many level 35 players at his disposal with high level Blissey's. There are several Gyms in the area and he does it all over town. I have only seen one guy so I am assuming it is only one person. It took him over an hour to build the GYM and took me two days to take it down.
He isn't using GPS spoofing because I have seen him at the gym parked twice. Wasn't sure if you can BOT attack from a phone? I haven't done a lot of research into how people are cheating, I just know it happens from this site. There are three of us from the same team that live nearby so we take it over and sometimes it lasts a few days.
I saw this in action for days straight. No clue how many bots were hitting it, but it was impossible for a single player to drop it below 50k. One of the names in the gym shot up in level in those few days, 27ish to 33. Wasn't paying attention to the other name's lvl but they were not local either.
Bots aren't what they used to be, they are strategic and unbeatable. I'm sure this will become much more popular soon.
Was discussing with the french dude who posted a picture of the gastly and 22000 prestige change in 2 minutes the other day.
If it's 1 prestiger vs 1 attacker, the attacker will always win because you take it down 2000 a run vs 1000 a run for them (and they also have to choose their pidgeys)
However if it's multiple prestiger (GPS or legit or whatever), vs 1 attacker, you're not going to win. Simple as that.
I will never understand the mindset of such players. SO. MUCH. EFFORT. spent for such negligible return. For crying out loud, just play the game the fair way and get 80% of almost nothing instead of 100% of almost nothing.
It must be people getting off more on screwing other people over than actually enjoying the game. PGo just happens to be the current medium by which they derive their antisocial satisfaction.
Option 1: Fight him while Prestiging. Unless he has multiple accounts batttling, you should win this
Option 2: Go for annoyance factor.
-- Knock it down to 8.5, if he really wants all 10 accts in Gym it makes him prestige against his own Blisseys
--- Make your own accounts of same color level it to 5. Call it "oppsmyspot" and every time he levels it to open a spot. Put in your level5 pokemon.
This is cheating mind you, but if you want eye-eye it's hillariously funny since A) its no longer potion free prestiging b) it takes him much time to cycle out 10 then 1 c) you can be really funny with names "Youknow1acctOnly" "Howdoyoulikemenow"
"NahnenahnahmyGym"
This is happening in my city too. Problem is they do it in the middle of the night so it is hard to battle it while they are prestiging it. Generally not there.
Wake up in the morning and there are 3-4 brand new level 10 instinct gyms with all their crappy spoofers/cheaters. Some are indeed using bots to prestige it up so fast.
I've about had it with these guys. They have multiple (6-8) accounts (all purchased) and fill up the gym immediately once they have prestige vs the Gastly.
Yeah, bots are just impossible to beat...Spoofers, if you are close to the gym, you can screw around with, but it might be bad since they spoof and can target your real gyms if you leave anything down...
Someone posted on silphroad I think about botting to battle the bots only and it was pretty funny...They see anything built, spoof there are stick something crap lower than the gastly so bubblestrat breaks...
The bubbler opens tons of spots, they fill it up with their 10 crap accounts and stick like 10x 10cp pidgeys for it to be torn down easily...
it'd be funny like someone else posted if you had trainer names of howdyoulikemenow, botsvsbots, etc...
The spoofers and bots are worse than ever. In my area the spoofers/bots have wars over the gyms. It is coordinated as the spoofer/bots have at least 10 accounts including an opposing team account used for shaving the bubblestrat out of the gym. They fill them up with Blisseys.
I've reported all the trainer names numerous times but nothing happens. One time I thought Niantic did something because the gyms went down but about two weeks later I was in a town about 15 miles away and found all of the same spoofer/bot trainer names in level 10 gyms with their Blisseys
I've tried to stop a spoofer/bot from building a gym. The spoofer got 5 ghastly (39 tp 41CP) in the gym while I was attacking. The spoofer/bot had it to level 10 in maybe 2 minutes. It was interesting because I was going with the suggested lineup and it wasn't costing me any potions to knock kill the ghastly but couldn't stop it from going to level 10. I then kept attacking the 5 ghastly and would reduce the prestige to level nine but it immediately went back to 10 before I could go with the next suggested team. I did it for 5 minutes or so and gave up. It had to be a spoofing bot. It was a remote gym with no one around.
