There's no best for everything. Depending whether you're using it for offensive or defensive purposes & if it's offensive, depending on which Pokemon is the defender.

Dragon Breath & Dragon Pulse is good for taking down other Dragonites.

Dragon Breath & Hyper Beam is generally good for attacking any types.

Dragon Claw is good for defending.

For me, I personally like those 1 charge ultimate move like Hyper Beam, Solar Beam, Thunder, Hydro Pump etc. for attacking gyms cause the charge animation often spoil my dodging timing. So I prefer 1 powerful move to finish up the opponent.

Although I agree that those multiple charges move may deal more damage, but I don't always cast it the moment I can. So the overall DPS is lesser for players like me.

Those multiple charges is good for defending cause attackers tend to dodge the charged move only. So if the defender rarely do a charge move, it's easier for attackers to dodge it. While it's difficult for the attacker to dodge if the defender spams the charge move especially if the defender double cast its charge move.

Wow = 15
Excellent = 14-13
Yea USJ 2 & Sunway area, somehow got lotsa Snorlax. But you're definitely very lucky.

I'm often at USJ2, the long straight road is good for hatching eggs.

Any good route around USJ to take down gyms? I'm interested in 10 gyms straight 

wah...u snorlax breeder ah....walanyeh. donasi 1 pls

What level are you? So lucky of you to catch a 2.3k wild Snorlax

10 gyms = 100 coins le, how can you resist? Can go for a shopping spree after claiming

I've claimed 100 coins several times already, then usually if possible also wanna aim at least 60 coins. But I admit that I did it during odd hours la. During my 1st attempt was with other Valorians here, 4 of us GB the gyms from 11pm to 1am. Not too bad la & it's very exciting rushing from 1 gym to another until the 10th.

i just hatched another one so now total 3. BTW which should i power up. 80iv with zen headbutt n solar beam or 84iv with lick and earthquake? any pros can suggest? both same cp 1.7k from egg.

Hit me up if u wanna go together. Can do it faster. I always travel in pairs so there r 2 of us.

Zen Headbutt is Psychic type while Lick is Ghost type, so each has its own advantages depending on who's your enemy.

Between Body Slam, Earth Quake & Hyperbeam, again each as its own advantages depending on what is your Snorlax role.

There is no best or ultimate build/move set here.

BTW if you wanna be a serious gym hunter, should join me & Terry one day. More people to GB the gyms.
I really really really want seriously, cause I got an amazing Solar Beam Exeggutor from BKK & few hours ago got another Hydro Pump Gyarados from the Magikarp in Setiawalk with you LOL. So got 2 new beasts in my team now, very very blood coin thirsty already! Later will go for some midnight farming for Stardust in preparation to power up some fighters in my team.

But tomorrow 7am, I'll be departing to Penang. Saturday only will be back, then Saturday night might need to meet someone else. Left with Sunday lol & I'm still trying to find a day to PD & Bagan Lalang.....the poison is real

Going to evolve my Squirtle & Oddish soon, so hoping for more beasts in my team. And my buddy Charmander has been popping more & more candies, making Dataran more & more tempting each passing day.

Wah damn, so many places to go but so limited time hahaha........

Yes. It actually ends with an S, but I can see where you are coming from. 

I just passed by 5 minutes ago to check on the gym, down to level 6. But Snorlax sighted!!!
Snorlax just outside the KFC, 2.2k CP. I razz and hit a Nice throw with an Ultraball.....it broke out and ran away! NOOOOO! 

yep.
i think the outcome is pre-determined or hatching based on location you're currently at..
not sure

Never mind le, you caught so many Snorlax already

IMO, anything below 80% is not worth powering up and there is no bad moveset for a Snorlax.
If you want to dominate gyms, it's all about having the highest CP mon so that you are parked at the highest position possible. A good example of this would be your 2819CP, 73% Dragonite which in most case, should be able to sit in a very high position in any gym. Sadly, that's the current meta where everybody is just placing Dragonites in gyms and ignoring the other Tier 1 and Tier 2 monsters for diversity. In the end, it all depends on your priority and resource management (candy, stardust) so good luck!

Which to power up really depends on your playstyle & what's your objective? Whether you wanna destroy gyms for fun or defend gyms as long as possible to collect coins. Whether you play solo or in group.

Separate your Pokemons into 2 team. Team Attacker & Team Defender, Attackers are used to destroy gyms while Defenders are used to park in gyms.

In the Attacker team, the key is to have a variety of move types so that you can take advantage of the enemy Defender's weaknesses. Also, as mentioned before, get those "ultimate" charged move e.g. Solar Beam, Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Thunder, Moon Blast, Hyper Beam etc. But that is also personal preference, some people may argue those "ultimate" charged moves isn't the highest DPS. I hate the charge move animation, it spoils my dodge tempo. So I prefer to have 1 powerful charge move instead of multiple weaker charged move.

In the Defender team, the key is to have the highest CP possible to sit as high as possible in the gym. So that when enemy team attack, your Defender won't be the early ones to drop out. I'm referring to those level 7 to 10 gyms that can actually hold against solo players (unless the solo player is really rich in resources). Check the ranking HERE to see which are the top Pokemons in terms of CP. Not many actually; Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras, Arcanine, Exeggutor, Vaporeon & maybe Gyarados only. So technically, your Defender Team should consist of those only if you wanna sit comfortably on top of the gym.

For me, I like taking down gyms in groups & defend my level 10 gym as long as possible for ez 10 coins. Based on that kinda style, I power up my Attacker Team first. For my Attacker Team, I power up just enough to reach CP2k & that's about it. When attacking in groups, I have other players to back up my weaker attackers anyway. So I don't see the need to go up to CP3k at the moment. Now that I have a somewhat solid Attacker Team, I'm focusing to build my Defender Team. I'm only powering up those top CP Pokemons with high IV (high IV = more CP) just so that they can sit at a higher position in the gym. 

So, what kinda Pokemon Trainer are you? 

Woo what's the moveset?
Very good question



I need to start charging teh tarik for these information man...

I setup my own pogomap on laptop running 24/7 (though it crashed last night)

First Aero of the day.. In office dont even need to move my a$$.

cp 1.4k

Edit: Wow arcanine also spawned at same spot

Bubble Strategy is quite hard to even do, because you need 2 Pokemons with specific CP & move sets. Most people are just happy being able to pump 500 Prestige at least per training. So just continue putting your best CP defender. I just hate people sniping gyms with less than CP1k defenders.

Exeggutor is weak to Ice & Lapras is an Ice Pokemon. Don't buta buta rely on the auto recommended pokemons.

You're staying in USJ 1 right? If you're willing to move, from Summit all the way to Main Place, can get more than 10 gyms ma. I parked 1 of my defender in USJ1 earlier during lunch time, still standing till now. I've surveyed the area & I'm gonna plan a route to conquer 10 gyms in USJ area soon.
I saw earlier today, just along LDP. There were 2 level 10 & 1 level 9 Valorian Gym. For the level 9, weakest defender was a CP2.7k Exeggutor. I can't imagine the other defenders above that 

People are building level 10 gyms now with super high level defenders. Those sitting on top can sit there for weeks at good locations.

I'm often at USJ 2 as well, i like USJ 2's long straight roads, good for hatching eggs. Got 1 gym at each fields, but high traffic, can't hold for long.

If I'm raiding gyms from Summit to Main Place, come join la. The more the faster we take down, the challenge is to level up for all of us to park our defender.

I made a thread on battle info, but not many seems to interested in gym battles so no business there; https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4038431&hl=

Putting your most powerful mon in while a bubble strategy is in progress wouldn't spoil it as we can quit battle when it comes to your powerful pokemon and still earn prestige points for the previous battles. In fact, throwing in your powerful mon would help defend the gym while the bubble strategy is in progress so that the weak training pokemon doesn't get knocked out immediately.

On a side note, anyone know where exist a diglet's nest? I got my first bubble stratable diglet today but it's powered-once CP is 11 instead of remaining at 10 which would be the most ideal. At least, I can now level a gym at 909 prestige points instead of the previous 500+ using razor leaf Oddish as a replacement because diglets are so hard to find, what more a cp 10 diglet with the right fast move and ideally right IV.

Alezabeth! So lucky! I want your Arcanine
