Say there is a level 7 gym, but with only 5 Pokemon in it. From highest ranked to lowest ranked, they are:
(1) Snorlax
(2) Dragonite
(3) Vaporeon
(4) Vileplume
(5) Jolteon
(6) ~ empty ~
(7) ~ empty ~
The current prestige is 23,000
.
Does an attacker fight Jolteon down to 20,000
and then start fighting Vileplume?
or
Does an attacker fight Jolteon down to 12,000
and then start fighting Vileplume?
