Battling Gyms Like a Champ

Scrolling through the reddit feed a few days ago, I came across a post titled "How to easily take down any gym". I have yet to get good at dodging, but perhaps this tip will be helpful to most others. Basically, the author of this post carefully watched his opponents attacks and came up with a theory to win battles without losing any hit points, in a numbered list from 1-9. 

Keep in mind I didn't create this theory, someone else by the pseudonym Zmedi off reddit did, I highlt recommend that you check the link above out for a more detailed article.  

1. The first time an opponent appears, it attacks twice. So dodge twice first: flash dodge flash dodge, then attack.
2. If the server glitches/lags, you can take damage
3. You can safely get in one quick attack before the next flash - sometimes you can get two (flash dodge, attack, attack, flashdodge, attack, attack...repeat).
4. You are vulnerable after using a special attack because you can't immediately dodge - don't use them unless you need to.
5. You're up against the clock. If your 800CP is against a 1400CP, you can avoid taking damage, but you may not be able to whittle down their health in time.
6. You can cut through Pokemon within +/- 200CP of your attacker like butter (without losing health)
7. You get a lot of xp at no cost for taking down high level gyms, and it's fun! (although it does take a while)
8. It is way more fun than spamming quick attack and it'll save you a TON of revive and health potions.
9. Bonus: you can really annoy the 'super-gyms' when you take them down by yourself!
