Pokemon Go gym etiquette? (I’m new) (lemm.ee)

I just started playing Pokemon Go so I could play with my brother’s kids and I know very little.

I took over my first gym and then was wracked with guilt picturing small children crying their eyes out over their pokemon, so I started googling to see what the consensus was on player etiquette.

From what I understand, as long as a pokemon has been in a gym for 8.5 hours the owner will get the full 5o coins for the day. But I also keep seeing something about the coin reset at 12:01 and read that you shouldn’t take a gym between 11 pm and midnight and I really do not get it. Can someone enlighten me? I did see there had been changes to the game over the years so maybe the stuff I’m reading is not all up-to-date.

One time I started taking a gym and after 3 minutes I saw a 20+ year old man sprinting down the street, yelling at me. I was on a bike so I just biked away because I did not feel the need to get stabbed over pokemon go.

So, don't do that and you will probably be fine. If it's a gym close to your place and you notice that it gets taken at the same time every day you could shift your habits around so that you both get a couple of hours. My dad is a pensioner and he grabs a gym each morning walk and some kids grab it back on their way home from school. Nobody get a perfect coin pay from it but they get fair amounts. The push and pull of gyms is part of the game

Well that is a very good point. There are several gyms in my neighborhood that I’ve been going to and I certainly don’t need anyone egging my house or worse, lol.
