Taking a gym over let's you use 6 Pokémon to battle the one(s) holding it. There is more to choosing you 6 than one first thinks. Low level gyms are pretty easy (6 vs 1 or 2). Higher levels gyms are better left to trainers who spend all day (or money) playing. If there is 2 Pokémon guarding a gym, when you defeat them both, only 1 is left guarding it. When you defeat the last enemy you can claim the gym by leaving a Pokémon there.
Hope that is less confusing than it looks.  |
A easier way to take a Gym and always be 6v1 is to defeat the first enemy, which is the easiest. Then run away. It still loses experience and will de-level eventually. You can do this until there is only the 1 left and then 6v1 him to take it.
