Yesterday, April 29, 2017, we gathered up a few friends to go hiking with us on West Tiger Mountain. We needed a discover pass, which was a ticket that you put in your car whenever you visit a Washington State Park. It was a wonderful 3.3 mile hike. We climbed and climbed, enjoying the wonderful views. We encountered three gyms there, and the five of us took down the gyms, which were mainly level 2 with one Pokemon inside. We placed all five of our Pokemon inside and continued hiking. It took us a little more than 2 hours to reach the top, and the view was extremely underwhelming. We got to the gym, and the signal was really bad. It kept switching between 2 bars of LTE to 5 bars of 3G and 5 bars of E and H. There were only two Pokemon in the top gym, so after around 35 minutes of disconnects, we finally got all five of us inside. The time was roughly 1:00 pm. We went down and went to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant at
Later that night, at around 9:30, I wanted to make sure we still had the gym, and we still did. I made sure we still had it again at 11:30pm and we also did.
This is a screenshot of the gym we held, taken at 11:57am on April 30:
This morning, April 30, at 8:00 am, I look and we lose the gyms. I check with gymhuntr.com, which lets you see who holds each gym, and to my surprise, there were four Team Mystic Pokemon in the gym.
What is this? They take the gym by 7:00am today. It took a little more than 2 hours to hike up there, so they must’ve stayed hiking at 5am, which is completely dark, by the way, and on top of that, it was raining really hard. According to one of the people we hiked with, we lost the gym around midnight, which is really sad, since the park is closed by then, so these four Team Mystic people are confirmed GPS spoofers.
Big Oof
