Battling at a gym simultaneously with other players
It's tough to find a comprehensive guide on gym battling; most seem to exclude mentioning, or at the least barely cover, how fighting a gym with another person at the same time works.
What is the process of battling a gym simultaneously with another player(s)?
I think covering some of the following points would be great (suggestions/additions are welcome):
- Can more than two players simultaneously battle a gym?
- Can gym members of X and Y fight together against gym Z?
- Do players teaming up together have to start the battle within a window of time or simply as long as a battle is in session?
- Can you train at a gym with allies at the same time?
- In the event that you and an ally remove the prestige from an opposing faction's gym, what dictates who places a pokemon there?
- If someone is battling an allied gym, can you join the fight to defend? - Asked by Aequitas

Earlier today I, a member of team Mystic was attacking a gym occupied by team Valor. I was doing it simultaneously with 2 members of team Instinct. I could only see one of them on my screen, but I didn't excactly hop around to check for the other pokemon. The counter which counts how many are attacking the gym said 3. I am fairly sure they were not of the same team as me since they said so and it showed when they claimed the gym.
I can therefore conclude, based on my own observations however:
- That a gym can be attacked by more than 2 players.
- A joint attack can be done by players from different teams.

Can you battle gyms with friends?
Battle with Friends Trainers don't need to attack a gym alone. If they have any friends nearby, then they'll be able to battle the gym together! When doing so, the Pok\xe9mon defending the gym will take hits from all players currently fighting.Can you battle a gym on your team?
Gyms can be challenged by multiple Trainers at the same time. Trainers from two teams can even come together to take down a Gym controlled by a third team. When battling Pok\xe9mon, you battle Pok\xe9mon in the order they were assigned to the Gym; the Pok\xe9mon on the Gym for the longest time will battle first.How do you battle the gym together in Pokémon?
With a Pok\xe9mon Go Remote Raid Pass, you can do raids remotely. To participate in a remote raid, you must be able to see the gym on your map.

Answer 2
My boyfriend and I (both are team valor) take over gyms together. We even battle the same person (rival) at the same time by clicking go at the same time. During the battle it will show the other person in the battle with you fighting the rival player. Now once we take over a gym we let the person with the highest cp pokémon put their pokémon in to claim the gym. After doing so, we battle ourselves to gain more prestige and level our gym.
Answer 3
Teams of same and opposing can team up and fight together. You are also in the same instance. The most I have gotten together has been 3 people. Hoping to test out more but we did have Instinct & Valor teaming up on Mystic together and taking the tower out.
