Hard to maintain any interest in Pokemon go when every time I try to gym battle I get a network error that prevents me from battling

If someone is taking your gym in Pokémon Go, can you not train it while they are battling it? I just kept getting an "Error".

Everytime I'm about to take over a gym in Pokemon Go, my gps either teleports me 20,000 feet away or I get an error. I'm calling hacks

Suspected cause & How to dealt with it

1.

A Pokemon was put right before a player try to do so

If the error happens when you try to put a Pokemon in a friendly gym, the cause of the error may be that someone already put a Pokemon right before you try to do that.

Put your Pokemon immediately if you find a space in the gym.

To prevent the error message from showing, put your Pokemon right after a slot of the gym become available.

2.

The defenders has already been defeated right before you try to battle

The error may happens because the defenders of the gym has already been beaten by others right before your enter the gym.

Re-enter the gym

You do not have to mind the error in that case. You can battle in the gym until the prestige of the gym gets to 0.

Thank you for your post. Someone may put his Pokemon right before you did so in that case.
