This blog post will look at 10 of the best Pokémon to leave as a defender for your gym – whether you’re team Valor, Mystic, or Instinct.

- Is my Pokémon weak or vulnerable to multiple types?
- Does my Pokémon have a high CP range – is it, effectively, a tank?
- Does my Pokémon have a strong moveset?
- Is my Pokémon resistant to popular or powerful move types?
- Will adding my Pokèmon type to this gym make it harder for a single team to take down?
