:: In any Gym, try beating the opponent with a Pokémon of yours that has (even just slightly) less CP than the opponent mon -- muuuch more rewarding.
:: In any Gym, use the opponent mon's* weaknesses and play to your mon's strengths: Use Electric or Grass against Water types; use Water, Rock, or Ground against Fire types, and so on. (The increase or reduction is supposedly around 25%. Simply check a tool like this.)
Thank you so much for this post, and the above advice in particular. I just took down my local gym's two Gyrados (1700+ and 2000+) with a trio of much lower CP electric mons (Jolteon, Electabuzz, & Mageton in the 1100 to 1400 range). Worked like a charm and paid off handsomely! I was so chuffed!
