Pokemon-go – physically return a gym to retrieve a pokemon when the gym is defeated

pokemon-go

I'm thinking about leaving my Vaporeon at the gym near where I work. I know that I might be lucky to keep it there one or two days, but darnit, I wanna do it. So if when the gym falls, do I need to physically return to it to get my pokemon back?

No you do not! It returns to you automatically. As of Android version 0.35.0/iOS version 1.50, ousted defenders return to you with 0 HP, per the patch notes.
