Go swizz! Even with the better match by type, my 550cp Jolteon got clobbered by my local gym's 672 vaporean. And that was there lowest level gym defender 3 days ago. I'm sure they're all above 1,000 by now.
So many of the gyms around here have vaperons in control! I'm still too chicken shit to challenge one. I
Same here. The one gym I've tried so far had 6 Pokemon stationed there, and 4 of them were vaporeans. The gym leader had a snorlax, and I think the other one was a Clefable. I jumped right in. Like swizz said, there's not much complexity to it. I managed to hang on a little bit with my top Pokemon, once he went down the next 5 were defeated in rapid succession. It was fun though!

I just played Pokémon with a whole group of random moms at the park while the kids took naps in strollers. That should maybe go in a confessions thread...
I've been playing for a week and still have no idea what 95% of the stuff in this post means.

What are your questions? I'm happy to answer!
I don't think I even understand enough to have specific questions!!
But for starters, what do I DO at a gym? I mean, I get that I'm supposed to battle or something, but exactly what do I DO TO do that? Like, walk me through it step by step. (I'm level 9 and team mystic, if it matters.)

It's hard to explain the steps without seeing the choices on screen but I'll try. You tap on the gym tower. Swipe left or right to see the Pokemon stationed at the gym. When you chosen which to battle, tap the fight icon (looks like fists) in the lower right corner. You'll get to chose 6 of your Pokemon to send into battle. Once you've done that, tap GO in the lower right.
You'll be taken to the gym arena. You'll see your Pokemon and your opponent. While battling you have 3 choices: tap the screen to perform your basic attack, swipe left or right to dodge an opponent's attack, or tap and hold to perform your big attack. You have to wait until your big attack us charged though, there are bars in the top left of your screen, once they're all filled in you can perform your big attack. I didn't live long enough to perform my big attack LOL.
ETA: the battle happens in REAL TIME and you don't take turns, it all happens at once. So I got hit wham wham wham with basic attacks while I tried to dodge and attack too. I got clobbered pretty fast.

This whole thing makes me feel old. I have NO idea what's going on but I think there's something in the lake by my house because random people keep parking in my cul-de-sac and walking all around by the lake and small bridge while holding their phones.
