Two hundred days is a long time to wait for anything, let alone for a Gardevoir to come back from defending a Gym. Reddit user achimpinspace showed off a screenshot of the missing Gardevoir in Pokemon Go with a time stamp reading a whopping 201 days and three hours since it had left for the front lines of battle. The worst part is that it’s still counting up, with no sign of when the Pokemon will ever return. The moment when Ash had to release his Butterfree in one of the initial and arguably most memorable episodes of the Pokemon anime immediately came to mind. The difference is that this time, we are hoping that the lost Gardevoir will actually return at all.
How Many Coins Will They Earn From Gardevoir?
Losing a Gardevoir for that many days in Pokemon Go might not be the worst part about this situation. There’s a limit on how many PokeCoins you can earn every day as a Gym defender, after all. That limit is 50 and if you reach it by the end of the day, you can’t earn any more until the next day.
Not only is their Gardevoir gone, but if it gets knocked out of the Gym on a day that the player already has 50 PokeCoins, then it would have been all for nothing. We think losing your Pokemon for an indefinite amount of time sucks. However, for over 200 days, you’d hope that there would at least be an exception to the 50 PokeCoin per day rule. Especially since someone replied to the OP that they had a Kanghaskan defend a Gym for over a year only to return with the coins to reach the maximum of 50. It’s a little difficult not to stare at your PokeCoin count in disappointment, right?
