PokeGym Review

This PokeGym is located at the center of the first part of the Friendship Park, surrounded by jogging paths, flower gardens and pavilions. It is close to “Baruk Pavilion” PokéStop and “Terengganu Cement Carving” PokéStop, making this one of the favorite Farming Loop within short walking distance. Pokemon Go Trainers can have a quick charge of their potion and revives within few steps, making it defending or conquering PokeGym easier.

The PokeGym radius covers the whole Sarawak Fountain, hibiscus garden and circular jogging path. This gym can occasionally have very serious battle when many Pokemon Go Trainers is around, during the peak hours. Defending this Gym can be tough everyone can recharge their potion and revives easily with a short walk to all nearby PokéStop.

This PokeGym is not accessible to the nearby traffic roads, hence make it rather safe. Pokemon Go Trainer can sit down in nearby benches or at the nearby Baruk Pavilion during battle. Cautions when walking during battle as there is short steps at this PokeGym. Beware not to walk into the fountain as you may risk wet your devices.

There is another PokeGym within this park within walking distance, Pokemon Go Trainers can defend both Gym at same time to get more Gym Defending bonus.
