New gym coin system in Pokemon Go


As I mentioned earlier in my post about gym battles that Pokemon Go coins are only awarded to users when their Pokemon leaves gym, this is because Niatntic wants spoofers controlling gym to have very little advantage from gym system or no advantage at all so if you are wondering where is "collect reward" button which used to give pokicoin for free in Pokemon go every 21 hours, the answer to that question is that with new gym revamp update Pokemon Go now awards pokicoins when you Pokemon is knocked out of the gym each Pokemon will receive a pokicoin for every 10 minutes they spent at gym so for example a Pokemon spent 2 hours at gym they will get 1 pokicoin for every 10 minutes which would mean for 2 hours your Pokemon will receive 12 pokicoin and these coins will be rewarded after Pokemon is knocked out of the gym.
Also note that there is a cap for 50 pokicoin which means that if your Pokemon is at gym for 11 hours that Pokemon will only receive 50 pokicoin and also note that if you have multiple Pokemon at gym all of them combine can receive 50 pokicoin as this is the cap by Niantic for every day so for example you have Snorlax knocked out of gym at 3:00pm and Snorlax has been defending gym for 10 hours after being knocked out your Snorlax will receive maximum of 50 pokicoins bonus, lets say you also have another Pokemon defending gym at 3:00pm Vaporeon and Vaporeon has also been defending gym for 12 hours before its knocked out at 5:00pm you won't receive any bonus for Vaporeon because of 50 pokicoin cap has already reached. This resets at 12:00am every day so if your Vaporeon is knocked out of the gym at 12:00am next day you will receive 50 pokicoins for Vaporeon.
So its pointless to have multiple Pokemon guarding gym and waste of time energy and your precious portion and revives which can be better used while fighting a raid boss also you shouldn't put your best Pokemon at gym as they might defend gym for days as other people also have less motivation to take on gym. Having 10 or 15 Pokemon defend gym won't give you any extra reward all you need is one Pokemon defending gym for little over 8 hours lets say 8 hours 20 minutes to be precise but having Pokemon defend gym you need to be sure that your Pokemon will be knocked out after during that time so I would suggest have maybe 3 Pokemon defend gym for around little over 3 hours each and you will be able to reach your daily free pokicoin cap but its worth mentioning that you shouldn't be defending gym at places where not many people visit otherwise you will end up with your Pokemon stuck in gym with no bonus. You need to plan ahead and calculate before you take on gym, at the start of this post I have posted a picture of how maximum bonus looks like when your Pokemon is knocked out of the gym.
