Shout out to my poor Blissy who has been occupying a rest area, on a trail for 56 days.

We need a recall button for pokemon occupying gyms. @pokemongoapp.bsky.social if you can do it for Power Spots, you can program it for gyms.

Silly, I know, but there is something addictive in getting foolish rewards for getting my steps in.
