Pokémon Go players want legendary restrictions lifted from gyms with some big changes

In Pokémon Go, legendaries have always been off-limits for gym defense, likely because their stats tend to be so much better compared to average Pokémon. But yesterday, the community brainstormed creative ways to change that rule and integrate them into gym battles.

First, only those with the platinum gym leader medal, earned after 15,000 hours of gym defense, can use legendary Pokémon. This ensures only the most committed players get this privilege. Second, players can use legendaries in gyms, but they’ll earn fewer coins for successful defense—perhaps 30 instead of the usual 50. Third, each gym defense can include just one legendary, preventing an overpowering lineup and giving attackers a fair chance.
