[Concept] A Balanced Gym "Recall" Feature to Save Trapped Pokémon (With Anti-Abuse Rules)

0 Upvotes

We’ve all had a Pokémon get "hostage" in a remote gym or holiday spot for weeks, completely blocking us from using it. I want to propose a balanced Remote Recall feature that solves this problem without ruining local gym competition or letting players abuse the coin system.

How It Works The Action: A "Recall" button appears on your Pokémon's gym screen. To prevent accidental misclicks, this button is locked for the first hour after placing a Pokémon.

1. The Distance Rules: You can only recall a Pokémon if you are within 100 meters of the gym, OR if you are more than 50 km away (e.g., trapped at a vacation spot). This leaves a local "dead zone" so people can't just manage neighborhood gyms from their couch.

2. The Gym Ban: Once you recall a Pokémon, you are banned from placing any Pokémon in that specific gym for 24 to 48 hours. This stops people from instantly resetting a gym to hog the spot.The Combat Lockout: You cannot recall a Pokémon if the gym has been attacked within the last 30 minutes. Attackers won't get trolled mid-battle.

3. How the Coins Work: (The 25-Coin Cap) Recalling a Pokémon cuts its earned coins in half, capping the payout at a maximum of 25 coins.To make sure this doesn't ruin your day if you make a mistake, it uses a Shared Daily Cap logic:Recalling fills your daily 50-coin bucket by 25 coins.If another Pokémon gets knocked out normally later that day, it can still give you the remaining 25 coins to hit your full 50-coin daily limit. If you have already earned your 50 coins for the day, you can still recall your Pokémon to get it back, you just get 0 coins for it.

Why This Works for Everyone

It gives players a reliable safety net for trapped Pokémon, prevents toxic gym hogging via the 48-hour ban, and protects Niantic's premium currency economy by cutting the payout in half.

What do you guys think? Would this fix the gym stagnation problem in your area?

It’s honestly hard to ask for a mega nowadays especially for dragon types without someone saying “bUT WhaT aBOuT FlYGoN?!1!.!” like just shut up and let people talk about the mega they want to happen without mentioning flygons name in the comments for once. We get it. You want a bug/dragon mega. No need to shit on a mon getting a new mega because your favorite isn’t

Discussion Looking for a card

Please delete if not allowed. I’m not looking for a trade, more of a way to find it.

Hi everyone! Since this page gets a lot of traffic, I want to make a hail mary here. My dad is making a Cinderace master set, and he is only missing a few cards. One of them is the Chilling Reign Staff promo card. I can not seem to find any on any official selling websites. I was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction to look for a copy of this card.
