>>32036677>yeah my 1400cp cloysters are gonna wreck the shit out of dem dragonitesUhh...it's a fucking Cloyster. Yes it fucking will.
Type advantages only give x1.25 each but they still matter.
And how do you think everybody prestiges gyms so quickly? You don't need a 3k mon to beat a 3km mon. Even if it's bullshit like a Snorlax or a Blissey. Okay maybe Blissey needs more, but Snorlaxes can be screenmashed down with a shitmon with Water Gun.
>I'm a collectorYou make that sound like an excuse when it's even more reason you shouldn't be behind. You should be catching shit left and right so that your collection is perfectly polished. I started out gym battling at lv 15 with Wing Attack Golbats against the lv 30+ vape squads. It was tedious as hell but I fucking got them. Now I'm maxed out on upgrades (thank god, since I'm already at 800 / 1000) and have enough Lucky Eggs to last me until summer. You don't need some MLG dragonite squad to sit in gyms and collect coins. Make do with what you have, figure out how to optimise what you have access to and power them up properly.
You need coins and dust to fuel your collecting, so go fucking get some.
You started late, so it's going to take a while, but even if all you're going to do is piss them away into incubators, you still need to spend some time on your battlers. You don't have to have a lot but ideally, you'd want 10-ish high CP defenders, a squad of attackers for enemy gyms, and a large variety of low to mid CP prestigers like my Seadra. I started with 7 1000CP Wing Attack Golbats. Now I have my own vape squads and dragon killers. It's a grindy game, it's tedious as fuck, yes, but it's very, very doable. So don't give up before even trying.
