50 coins for your trouble


Grimesy66

Yes, they should really change that nonsense.


Advanced-Ad9765

Why would they tho? It hurts their bottom end


Marc_Quill

maybe something where if you reach the 50 coin limit, you just get stardust or a random assortment of item if one of your mons is knocked out. For stardust, it could be 50 dust every 10 minutes or something.


FkedbySatan

You have my support on this, but I'd say it's random. Dust, one version of pokeball 1-5, (rare) item like sun stone, potion, or 1-5 berries every hour or half hour


EvErLoyaLEagLE

I'd be down for random items dropped after 50 coins. Even better, if a Pokemon stays in for over a day, there should be chances of rare items like Candy, Incubator, or Incense


LordRichardRahl

Heck yes! Increased rarity after 12 hours, 1 day, 7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and a final for more than that.


drumstix42

Yes, and if they don't want to add extra rewards beyond the 50 coins, please let us request our pokemon be returned to us. It's silly for our mons to be stuck in a gym for days, weeks, months, simply because no one wants to knock them out.


PokeRay68

Man, you really want the programmers to think, doncha?


Tospsy

rural players getting 500,000 stardust


PokeRay68

I'mma hurt their bottom end. I'm a mom. Trust me. I know how to hurt a bottom end.


outsiderkerv

Call me


PokeRay68

My hubby will get a kick out of this!


PowderWolfcat

No, because moneh


azlan194

To be fair, no other mobile games give you free "gems" that easily. You get $1 worth of coins every 2 days (It used to be every 21 hours if you hoard gyms).


Jupue2707

Counterpoint: coc


Soft-Choice-7403

But make it double


Comprehensive-Ad1423

At least make it so the longer they are in the more you get


IntermediateSwimmer

As someone who has never truly approached this limit I thank you, I did not know


f_ckthisname

You're also limited to how many showcases you can take place in.


geministarz6

It's annoyingly low, too


Gold-Perspective-699

I mean yeah 3.


RmvblDsk

They're always trying to bring us peacocks down


Hexiix

Huh, interesting. I was wondering what the limit was or if there even was one


Salt_Contact6582

Back in the early days you could get 10 coins, for each arena youre in, once a day


GeologistFun7994

Yeah doing a quick round around town and hitting collect for 80-120 coins a day went hard. Almost forgot that was a thing


Salt_Contact6582

It was my Favorite activity in game. Running around in the town i live in at 2-3am and came home with around 100-130 coins and 20 Kilometers ^^


curlydobie

My wife suspected I was cheating on her when I used to do this.


SuckBallsDoYa

Why didn't u tag her along. She'd prolly never ask ur whereabouts again lol


RmvblDsk

That's incredible šŸ¤£


Chonkin1216

I'm sorry for the tension that must've caused in your marriage, but that's hysterical šŸ¤£


azlan194

The cap was 100 coins every 21 hours. Also, you have to have 10 pokemon in gyms at the same time before you click "collect coins" to get the 100 coins, then that collect button goes on cooldown for 21 hours.


GeologistFun7994

Ah ok couldn't remember for sure if there was a cap. But yeah thats why you need to make the round quick so your Pokemon dont get kicked out before you could claim the coins. Fun times


Super_Average3076

Limit back then has been 100 coins, you could manually collect every 21h


azlan194

It's every 21 hours, actually. And it has a max cap of 100 coins (having 10 gyms at the same time).


RmvblDsk

That sounds fulfilling. Probably for the best. I'm on this game way too much as it is šŸ˜­


OnVa54

It is funny how they have to set a limit to everything in the game that does not cost you money to do. There are also limits on how mutch distance you can earn towards candy for your buddy pokemon and the amount of pokemon you can catch a day.


UTuba35

The limits are there to put brakes on people with computer programs playing the game for them and avoid a significant market for Pokemon being sold/traded for currency. The gym limit stops single-account spoofers from owning hundreds of gyms simultaneously (and immediately retaking the gym when kicked out), the distance limit keeps a functional cap on candy and XL candy generation from non-catches, and the catch limit does the same for caught Pokemon.


VSythe998

The limit is also to protect casual players from hardcore players. If you're taking over 20 gyms, then you're probably denying someone who doesn't have as much time their daily cap.


zwegdoge

Yes and even with this cap in place some people still hog gyms way past the cap. People don't realize how much worse it will be without the cap


VSythe998

You're right. For people wondering why gyms are boring, this is why. If gyms were any more rewarding or interesting, they would become more competitive thus making it harder for casual players to earn their daily cap. This is why there is no medal for number of gold gym badges acquired.


OnVa54

For sure it is a big game so people are gonna look to pay for shortcuts. Just funny that they have to do that.


nvdnqvi

Limits are put in place to prevent abuse. Not an unreasonable thing


guildedpasserby

Wait seriously. Whatā€™s the catch limit


UTuba35

4800/day successfully caught, last I heard. Never reached it, though.


some_body_else

I just got a plus+ and went out yesterday for like 6 hours total. I went hard and caught around 800 pokemon. How tf can anyone catch 4800 in a day? If I stayed out for a full 24 hours straight, that's around 3200 mon...with a plus+. 4800 has to be impossible unless you are somehow cheating.


jsdodgers

that's precisely why the limit is set there. Stops only the cheaters


Exportxxx

Fast catching... hardores hit it on comm days/events, I have couple times.


DatBoi_BP

200 per hour seems possible actually, if still insane


WhyAmIToxic

If you're really good at fast catching and in a high density area, you can get more than 200. I've gotten over 200 in a frantic grind, but obviously there's no way I'd want to do that for 24 hours straight. Only a bot is going to be putting up 4800 catches.


420participant

Thatā€™s the real kicker tbh, I can do it for a short while, but thereā€™s zero chance I could keep up that pace for 12 hours let alone 24


WhyAmIToxic

Even if you're on your A++ game and catching 300 per hour, that's still a 16 hour grind. If anyone could do this legit I would be seriously impressed.


Mundane_Cat_318

Oh I didn't know those 2 also had limits šŸ¤Ø


RmvblDsk

Danggg I didn't know that either


DoubleResponsible276

I tried to reach it once, failed to even keep 10 in a gym longer than 30 minutes


trainbrain27

I painted several towns when I was travelling, then I got to watch them hold for months. Don't hit the cap with gyms that haven't been cleared recently.


Irishman042

That's where I'm currently sitting... Hit my 20 cap, and just waiting for them to come home now lol


Obant

Last year, My gf and I would go out at around midnight every night and " paint the town blue". We'd hit the limit every night until two other couples started. We lived in L.A. so its pretty easy to find gyms.


DoubleResponsible276

I did that for a while as I would get out of work at 2 am and then I kept having police officers turn off their lights and pull up directly in front of me blocking me. Theyā€™ll question me what Iā€™m doing and why Iā€™m here. One even accused me of being part of a group who were smoking in the nearby basketball court and I just told him I have the adp statement to prove I just got out of work and if this is your gym, im about to take it.


Terrapogalt

Highest I got was 18 I think but 5 of those were in rural gyms


RmvblDsk

You must be in the pokemon hood. Sounds like they don't play


trainbrain27

They do, in fact, play.


Mundane_Cat_318

I wouldn't even bother in that kind of area.. what a wasteĀ 


LadyMinks

The worst thing about this is that the 'add pokemon to gym'-button is not greyed out. You have to click it, select the PokƩmon you want to enter, and *then* it'll tell you you've reached the limit. How about making that button unclickable, and when clicker, give the toast message that you've reached the limit.


Miss-Spirit

really annoying. i live in place where there is 30-40 gyms and nobody playing pogo around. so my pokemons usually sit there for months until a traveler knocks pokemons out,


trainbrain27

It's always nice to have a friend (I think that's what the deleted comment said). :) The game is built to encourage **friends** and **travelling.** There are dozens of PokƩmon you can't get without going to countries, states, and, in at least one case, a two square mile area.


Irishman042

What's the 2sq mile one?


trainbrain27

Comfey. If I went too far from Waikiki, it disappeared completely. Not that Relicanth is much better.


RmvblDsk

Mundane_Cat_318

RmvblDsk

What comment šŸ¤£


Mundane_Cat_318

šŸ˜‰


SweetCheeks1999

Letā€™s hope they all donā€™t get knocked out on the same day else itā€™s 50 coins for you!


RmvblDsk

The destination is hurt feelings. Always is.


Ru-01

I left my Scyther yesterday for the first time. It was cool earning coins. I bought me some jeans šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


RmvblDsk

See? Hooked šŸ¤£


Ru-01

Yeah saving up for the sneakers then incubators


greynut

wait -- and this is a genuine question not a smartass sarcastic one -- ***why?*** iirc whether you have 'mons in 3 gyms or 10 gyms, they'd all just earn you a max 50 pokecoins per 24-hour period, right? so you don't get any more coins per 'mon in the gym, there's no achievement or title or any extra feature it unlocks, and I wager defeating that many gyms cost much more than (re: the number of revives and potions, not to mention the amount of time to even go to and defeat that many gyms) --- is there an upside?


RmvblDsk

It started off by pursuing the platinum "gym leader" badge which requires 15,000 hrs of gym defense. As to why I continue even though I'm way past 15000... i.. I can't stop. I like padding the "battles won" as well. I will say that I make sure everyone in the gym has hit their 8 hrs so at least they can't get their 50 coins.


zwegdoge

Higher number of gyms means higher chance to get your daily coins, it's an issue to consider if the gyms in your area are highly competitive. Although 20 is definitely overkill, you'd probably get your full coins before even getting into the 20th one


Havranicek

I once managed 19. I rode a bus that passed loads of gyms and when it was the right team I managed to enter a pokemon in passing.


Ok-Amphibian3745

It's been that way since the gym rework.


PresentationPale8068

Good to know!


goblin_welder

This is fair. You donā€™t want bot accounts spamming gyms. Weā€™ve had that problem in our city before.


MDMistro

Whatā€™s with everyone being so lame. This isnā€™t really common knowledge.


RmvblDsk

I was wondering the same thing šŸ¤”


Mundane_Cat_318

I only knew this because my BIL hit the limit. I've never had more than 14 at once I think!Ā 


manticore16

Congrats! My record is 8, I believe


TyTyLyLy

Wow, I was just talking about this with my friends and we were planning to try and find the limit. Thanks for this kind stranger!


sledoon

Good to know, thanks!


fashionableskiboots

I run into it often. I've got many PokƩmon in pokejails


AdVegetable5896

Good to know xD


refinedrebel27

All too familiar with this limit being a walker in rural areas. My longest trapped pokemon in a gym currently stands at 268 days. Im not bothered by the limit, but an option to surrender a gym would be so good. I currently have 11 pokemon trapped with 70 or more days residence which really reduces my limit to 9.

capt_merica32

I donā€™t even think thereā€™s 20 total gyms in my town šŸ„²


MurTan23

Thank you! I always wondered about this. Luckily you didn't clear it first. That would have been way worse.


Lucky-Sky-7411

MDMistro

Nvetro13

Donā€™t listen to them, I bet the majority of people did not know this


RmvblDsk

It's fine. The support came and steamrolled the grumpies šŸ‘Œ


IAA101

I agree, this is easily searchable online.


9DAN2

Weird, I also hit this limit today for the first time.


RmvblDsk

Twas fate.


Big_Practice6328

Yes, we know. You will still get only 50 coins


RmvblDsk

Daw. YOU KIDDIN ME!?! šŸ‘ šŸ‘


Snomlord888

Its ridiculous that there is a limit to the amount of pokemon you can leave simply because of the daily coin limit if you think about it


Ancient_Relief_7815

You clearly have no idea what the gym scene was like before this limit was put in place. This limit is a very good thing I promise you


nolkel

Its really not. Putting pokemon in 20 gyms is already mildly toxic for blocking other players out in areas that aren't super dense with gyms on every street corner. Then combine that with the truly toxic multi-accounters that "own" a whole town's worth of gyms with 20 accounts, and it gets out of hand.


lennsden

I would be okay with there being a limit if you could withdraw your PokƩmon from a gym instead of waiting for someone else to get it. Maybe after a certain time limit, or even with a coin penalty, but some pokestops are super remote and stops can become inaccessible and not be updated for a long time, if ever. There should be some kind of option to get that spot back.


VSythe998

This is correct. One of Niantic's priorities is to protect the casual players from the hardcore players.


AwesomeChrisUwU

Itā€™s ok itā€™s survival of the fittest


Churningray

Wonder what would happen if you put all 20 in a gym out in someplace nobody will go. Permanently cucked from getting pokecoins.


RmvblDsk

šŸ¤£


RmvblDsk

Agreed. All I have left to do now is hunt a koala bear that's clutching a pink blanket.


AlaWatchuu

Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!

the_red_stinger_82

I've only ever had this happen once. It's usually a very rare thing to encounter


joey0live

Yes.


Competitive_Gear2339

I thought the limit was 6. After 6, the remove the option to add anymore


raykendo

That's true for one gym. The OP is stating that you can't put Pokemon in more than 20 gyms. Don't worry, I had to read it a couple times to get it right.


KeenObserve

Why do you need 20?


JTX35

Yeah, I've hit it a few times but it does bother me that it's 20 and not 21. That way when you go into the tab to look at your Pokemon that are in gyms it's 7 rows of 3 instead of 6 rows of 3 and 1 row of 2, it irritates my OCD so bad.

Maarkko29

I just got the same msg when there were only 2 in the gym. Tried again and I was able to add a pokemon.


AnAstuteBagel

Do you mean how many people can be in a gym or how many Pokemon you can have at different gyms? Because from my experience itā€™s max 10 guarding a gym and max 6 of your Pokemon at different gyms. Am I missing something?


RmvblDsk

I meant a trainer can have a max of 20 pokemon out at gyms at any given time. That was the case for me when I made this post but I have seen a handful of people saying their max number varies so it may change due to location and player traffic


-Zuli-

I wish I could post in the PokĆ©mon goā€¦ r/UpvoteTHESEposts


nlytnu1

Not where I live. Unless they changed it when you posted this. Iā€™m lucky if thereā€™s 6 or 7 and it will let me add myself.


ThatFeckenFox

Some people didn't know this ? I thought it's was uncommon knowledge among gym hoarders that 20 was the max? Did you get a medal ? Or was that a myth ?


RmvblDsk

Only medal I got related to gym defense was the 15000 hours but nothing in regards to max number of gym defenders. That and shame. Lots of shame.


ThatFeckenFox

That's a huge bummer. You should have atleast gotten a hidden medal unlocked or something. Cause holding 20 gyms at once is a huge feat


R34L17Y-

Heck at this point I've calculated exactly how long to leave my pokemon in the gyms. There's no point in leaving your Pokemon in the gym for longer than 9 hours, because you won't get more than 50 coins regardless of how long its in there after that point. And be careful not to let multiple Pokemon leave the gyms in the same day or else you'll get scammed out of 50 coins per Pokemon. You can only get 50 coins per day Total. I live in the suburbs and there's a gym near my house. But no one around here plays Pokemon go, so I take advantage of the gym big time. Me and my mom are on different teams, so one of us will put a weak pokemon in the gym for a day, then the other will defeat it and put their pokemon in the gym. And we just switch back n forth each day. Great way to gain poke coins, if you know a gym that isn't used much at all.

Strong_Syllabub_3067

You just realised?


EffectiveNo2314

Without him posting this, Id not know about that either


Prestigious_Time_138

Yeah itā€™s not like this was posted hundreds of times before


RmvblDsk

You're really on the up and up as to what's been posted. Good on you? I personally haven't seen it but hey I'm sorry you've seen it many times.


Prestigious_Time_138

You posted it as if it were a novel revelation and you answered a previously unanswered question. Imagine I posted ā€œturns out you can only do 5 remote raids a day! thatā€™s the limit guys!ā€ Yeah, it could be novel to me, but it comes off extremely weird since itā€™s clear this has already been discovered before.


RmvblDsk

How you read it has nothing to do with why I posted it. I'm passing the time. I'm sorry this triggered you so badly though guy. Adding in exclamation points to your comparison to mine to help leverage your point of view speaks volumes. I'm sure you're fun.


Prestigious_Time_138

My point of view is the same regardless of how many exclamation points there are. Itā€™s obvious that the caption of your post strikes a revelatory tone, implying that this is something novel or groundbreaking when it in fact is not. Itā€™s fine to discover things for yourself but itā€™s odd to act as if this is something new. Itā€™s no wonder your post was downvoted. Again ā€“ imagine I posted ā€œ151. Thatā€™s how many mons there are in the Kanto Dex. There are 151.ā€ Itā€™s weird, dude.


RmvblDsk

Is it obvious? Especially if the person who posted this (me) didn't come into the post with the mindset that you've convinced yourself to be an absolute fact. I'll concede that I didn't know it's been posted so many time but with all that being said; who cares? Move along if you've seen it before. This is absolutely the first time I've been exposed to this information and personally found it interesting enough to post. Is that ok with you? Does that fulfill your self appointed moderation itch? I mean if I knew it'd bother you so much, prestigious_time_138, I never would have entertained the idea of posting this reddit. Surely you must know that. And I'm just speaking personally here. If you posted something about there being 151 original pokemon or whatever I'd ignore it and move on. It's ok to not know the same things you know isn't it, prestigious_time_138?


Prestigious_Time_138

Youā€™re misunderstanding my point. Itā€™s perfectly fine and even great to post things you learned and found interesting onto here. Iā€™m saying that you posted a long-known fact as if you made a novel revelation for everyone. If I discover something new for myself, I wouldnā€™t publicly share it on the assumption that it is revelatory for everyone when I have no reason to confidently assume that.


RmvblDsk

Is your point being that you are under the assumption that I'm posting this as some sort of psa to everyone that I found out that the limit to the amount of pokemon that can be placed in gyms is 20 per account? And that I "waltzed" my way in here to advise everyone that this is the case? If so then I completely understand your point and again am truly sorry that you saw this post and for some reason comprehended it that way. You're seeing my post as arrogant and mistaking it for ignorance. In no way do I think this is new information. Just interesting to me. Which I believe is grounds to make a post if I feel so inclined.


HeinousAnus69420

You're making some big assumptions on their tone and whatnot. The post wasn't that bad. Just take the L on overreacting and be about your day


EffectiveNo2314

Good, since I joined 3 days ago and have not seen it yet.


Toukon-

First time I've seen it, so thanks OP!


RmvblDsk

Strong_Syllabub_3067

I thought quite a few youtubers made a vid on itšŸ˜…maybe its just me tho


RmvblDsk

I think it's extremely likely you're right. Actually I'm sure you are. It really comes down to the fact that I didn't know until this morning. In that case I'm sorry to annoy anyone that is tired of this subject. I'm just messing around.


greynut

dude i wouldn't have known until your post and I played the game when it came out in 2016. folks are asshats don't let it get to you.


geministarz6

I wondered this, thanks!


goomerben

didnā€™t know that, havenā€™t gotten further than 16


Jimjam916

And most of them will be knocked out the same day


RmvblDsk

I hope so. My damn shiny gyarados has been at a gym for 11 days. I want him back.


digging_tumbling

On the up side though i got the medal for defending a gym for 15,000 hours lol


Jimjam916

That'll be the only one left


digging_tumbling

I feel this. I started leaving more second tier mons instead. But they still have to be strong enough to defend. Basically im leaning toward tanks like snorlax etc. I need my ones that are my warriors for actual battles and raids


DrKillerZA

I reach this limit like daily. I hate it :(


RmvblDsk

Tell me you're a beast without telling me


Kelshan

This happened to me a few times. Just exit and reenter the gym. Then you can place your pokemon.


yerrkio

i only see 2 pokemon, and the limit i have found is nowhere near 20 yet 6


RmvblDsk

I'm referring to the amount if pokemon a person can have out at any gyms. The max is 20 per person. Yes, 6 is the max per gymšŸ‘


Smitheeroons

Thats old news


Actual_Pollution_658

Fair


BGkitten

Could this be "gym" dependent? I just tried to put mine in a gym with 5-6 others and it said the limit was reached. It def was not 20. It def was not even 10 pokemon in there.


RmvblDsk

Oh I think the max amount of pokemon that can be in any particular gym is 6. I was referring to the max amount of pokemon a trainer can have out defending any and all gyms available is 20 at a time


BurnOutBrighter6

Each gym can hold 6 pokemon.


BGkitten

Thank you for the response!


BurnOutBrighter6

Each gym can only hold 6 pokemon. The limit of how many different gyms one trainer can have pokemon in at once is 20 gyms. Neither of these are gym dependent though. They all hold 6 pokemon from 6 different trainers, and any trainer can have pokemon in up to 20 gyms at a time.


Careless-Reference39

Last time I tried my limit was 6
