==Levels and Prestige==
===Charts===
Gyms have [[levels]] from 1 to 10. A gym's [[level]] equates to how many [[Pokemon]] it can have. The level of the gym is determined by the its [[Prestige]].
You can increase the Prestige of your own Gym or a Gym owned by your [[Team]] by adding a Pokemon to it or through [[Training]]. Training is when you use 1 of your own Pokemon to battle against the Pokemon in the Gym. The Gym will also gain Prestige when it fends off enemy attackers.
You can decrease the Prestige of Gyms owned by enemy [[Teams]] by defeating the Pokemon defending the Gym.

===DescriptionAdditional Information===The Strongest pokemon is that of the gym leader (marked with a crown). The Pokemon has shows a [[CP]] and a [[Prestige]].
If Prestige is 6000/8000, it means that if they train this gym enough to get the prestige to 8000, the gym will level up to level 4 and then it has space for 4 pokemon (with a maximum of lvl 10 ). In order for you to remove them from the gym you need to remove 6000 prestige. You remove 1000 prestige per pokemon you beat and you remove another 500 bonus prestige for beating every pokemon without losing one match. If you don’t have a pokemon strong enough to beat the gym leader's pokemon, you can still seriously diminish this gyms defense by defeating the two pokemon prior to it, you remove 2000 prestige.
Another difference between training and battling an opponent’s gym is that your pokemon can’t faint when training, whereas when battling an opponents gym, your pokemon can faint. This saves you a revive.
Every time you beat the pokemon that’s already on the friendly gym, the gym get’s prestige. How much depends on a number of factors, but it seems you gain more prestige for the gym if you beat it with a pokemon that has a lower CP than the pokemon that’s placed on the gym. The more pokemon you beat, the more prestige you gain for your gym. So even if you can only beat one pokemon and loose lose to the next pokemon on the gym, you still gain prestige for the gym. The prestige requirement for the gym seems to increase with 4000 every time after level 3/4 So: *Lvl 2 = 2000 prestige (starting point)*Lvl 3 = 4000 prestige*Lvl 4 = 8000 prestige*Lvl 5 = 12000 prestige*Lvl 6 = 16000 prestige
When the gym has the lvl or prestige of your liking, you (or a team mate) can now place the strongest available pokemon.
