Pokemon Go has a a gym system where you can place a Pokemon that will defend the gym against people that are trying to take it over.

But even if no one attacks the gym, your Pokemon will lose power over time, which can result in it having low motivation.

You can replenish your Pokemon’s motivation by feeding it a berry, and Pokemon Go will even send you a notification if your Pokemon’s motivation reaches a low enough level.

If you have a lot of Pokemon in gyms, though, these notifications can become a little excessive, and you might prefer to turn them off. Our guide below will show you where to find this setting in the Pokemon Go app on your device.
