It seems noticeable that majority of the Pokemon Go fan population are discussing about being in a minority team. This minority team can be seen in a place that one or two other team colors are dominating. It was also disappointing to note that it might be difficult to get into a gym fight. It is therefore fitting to give fans ideas on how they can play a role.

According to the Otakukart, the first highly important thing to do is to recalibrate expectations. It should be taken realistically that if a player is in an area where around 10% of the playerbase is on their team, then the player might possibly not going to net 10 gyms every day. The gym combat should instead be considered as a game of guerilla warfare. The role of the player is not to essentially dominate a territory. What is important is that players consume the resources that the other team has, which should be disproportionate to the player's status as a single player.

In doing so, the players can also safely guard, some of the high-level gyms that they own, as well as those lower level gyms around the players that they can utilize to take coins when the refresh is up. According to a Reddit post, this can be done through compelling the other teams to devote enough portions of their resources, in order to maintain their high-level gyms instead of attacking the one that has been owned by the players, or instead of them creating new high-level gyms.

The game can be taken as an enjoyable game, since the players can assume that they are solo agents who are devising methods to mess up a massive force. The players should avoid the expansion of the enemy team territory. Enemy resources should be cut down. The focus should be defeating the lowest defenders, and to be intelligent in own resource consumption.
