What determines which pokemon you are allowed to place at a gym?

I'm pretty sure a Pokemon needs to be at full HP to be placed in a gym, so the reason yours wasn't available was because it was hurt from the previous battle. Heal it to full with potions and it will be available.


Your pokemon needs to be:

-Full hp
-Not actively in another gym

Tips:

-Keep your best pokemon of each type with you, put the 2nd best ones inside gyms.
-Try to put pokemon that are not weak to the pokemon types in that area. For example, do not put water pokemon in gyms where there is a lot of electric pokemon spawns. Or you'll lose that gym immediately.
