Gym Poaching Will Be Addressed in a Future Pokemon Go Update

If you regularly battle at Pokemon Gyms in Pokemon Go, you've probably met at least one Gym Poacher. They're the skeevy sort of player who lets you do all the hard work of clearing a gym and then snatches it up for their team before you can claim it.

At Pokemon Go's SDCC Hall H Panel, Niantic CEO John Hanke confirmed that gym poaching would be addressed in a future panel. One audience member suggested a 30 second window for the winning team to put their Pokemon down, which Hanke noted was a good idea, but no concrete solutions were given.

Another major glitch was also addressed, namely the "three step bug" that hinders Pokemon Go's tracking system. Hanke stated that they were aware of the issue (having seen that many Pokemon fans are upset about it on the Internet) but didn't provide any update as to when it would be fixed.
