Thanks Mr. Pilzner

Whith you advise I prestige 5500 acainst Blissey. Gym has 4 Blisseys on the bottom. Points 34500/40000.
couple 1600 cp flareon + 1550 poliwrath works fine less than 10 s left. Luckily the lowest blissey was 2500 cp.
It takes half hour to get 5500 points. Then I but one more Blissey in.

Nice work and perseverance. However, this raises an important point about Blissey as a defender. Blissey is tricky and very time-consuming to prestige against, but is not especially difficult to defeat with full-strength attackers. The half-hour that it took to add your Blissey is probably more time than it would take an enemy attacker to clear all four (or five) Blisseys from the bottom of the gym.

In other words, most of the time, Blissey causes more problems for her own team than for rival teams.

Yes, but only if Blissey is placed near the bottom of the gym. Otherwise you don't have to prestige against her.

Glad it worked out for you. Half an hour seems a bit long but with trial and error you can probably speed things up over time.

The 1600 Flareons are great but even I have timed out a few times using them with some bad luck/dodging errors and not getting off my last charge move on them.

I wish I had some better Machamps or other options to use against Blisseys but at this point my Flareons and 1 Eggy are what I use. I haven't had much luck getting good moveset Eggs for it but they would work well too. Solar Beam is awesome vs Blissey and Eggs resist Psyhic attacks.

I'm sure there are other options too but one has to go with what is available to them.

To help your team out you should have put something else in below the lowest Blissey.

Glad you got in, the worst thing for me is I wouldn't mind prestiging against the Blisseys, ASSUMING, I don't get gym spot swiped.

People will see you prestiging for 30 minutes a mile away and there is a higher chance for getting your spot stolen and one reason why I don't bother now against a stack of them...Getting 5500 against a slew of Rhydon/Nites/Garys would take a mere 5-10 minutes worst case...so doesn't feel as bad if you loss the spot.

Please fix Niantic...

Not only stolen, sometimes I try to keep rival gyms at lower level to take it down faster tomorrow. So several times I came to gym when it was prestiged from 31k to 38-39 against blissey, and beat it back to 31k. Should be very disappointing as well.

FS/OH Flareon is the single most overrated mon. I can't get it to work for me at all.
