In a Gym Battle, you can perform 4 actions:
- Standard Move: tap once on the screen. Your Pokemon will perform a Standard Move every tap.
- Special Move: Watch the blue bar(s) underneath your Pokémon’s HP. As you perform standard moves, it will fill up. One blue block means you can execute a special move, by pressing and holding the screen.
- Dodge: Swipe left or right, or tap the left or right side of the screen to dodge incoming attacks.
- Switch Pokémon: Tap the up-down-arrow button on the bottom-right of the screen to switch the current Pokémon with another one
