How to Win Battles in Pokemon Go

To dominate battles in Pokemon Go, approach and then select the desired gym. If you match up well with the competition, press the fight icon on the lower right. 

When the battle commences, press either the right or left sides of the screen to dodge enemy attacks, and then strike back. Do not get into the habit of frantically tapping to attack or you’ll lose within seconds. Dodge, wait for an opening and strike back… then repeat the process.

Keep in mind that if you have low level Pokemon, claiming a gym in Pokemon Go will be extremely difficult. It’s smart to level up your Pokemon and then go after the gym. Patience!
