In Pokémon GO it is currently the best time to level up your gym badges. You can now get your gyms to gold in a short time. We will tell you how to do it.
Why is now the best time? In Pokémon GO, the battle event is currently taking place. In this event, gym badges are also golded twice as fast. So if you need golden gyms in your city, you should start now.
This is how fast it goes: To get a gym from zero to gold, you only need to spend about 10 days at the gym. What gives you the most points and how you can speed this up, you will find out here.
This is how you level up a gym badge
These badges are available: There are a total of three different badges. You achieve these with different amounts of gym XP:
- Bronze – from 500 XP
- Silver – from 4,000 XP
- Gold – from 30,000 XP
How do I get the XP? There are many different ways to get gym XP. Currently, every way gives you twice as many XP. All types are listed in the table below:
| Action | Experience points |
| Defend a gym with a Pokémon | 2 XP per minute in the gym |
| Feed Pokémon in the gym with berries | 20 XP per berry |
| Place Pokémon in the gym | 200 XP per Pokémon |
| Win a gym battle | 2 XP per 100 CP of the defeated Pokémon |
| Lose a gym battle | 10 XP per lost battle |
| Win a raid at the gym | 2000 XP per raid |
This is the fastest way: The fastest way to get a gym to gold is if you do raids at it. Currently, you only need to do 15 raids per gym to get it to gold.
This also helps: Before you throw away excess berries, it’s better to put them in gyms. You won’t get a huge amount of XP, but it does speed things up a bit.
If you feed 10 berries, that corresponds to a time of 1 1/2 hours that you need to spend at the gym. It is worth it.
What do I get from gold gyms? You should primarily play the gyms in your immediate vicinity to gold. Depending on how high the gym badge is, you get more items when spinning the Photo Disc.
If you are currently lacking items, then gold gyms are definitely worth more than other gyms.
Many players also like to collect gym badges. Although they are not really useful, they look nice in the inventory.
How long does the event last? You can still grab these bonuses until March 12. But to really benefit from it, you should already start turning the gyms gold now. Despite faster leveling, it still takes several days to get a gold gym.
In addition to this event, another event is also running. However, this only concerns players who are in Berlin:
