Pokemon-go – Vertical bar in Pokémon Go Gym display
pokemon-go
I've seen a few gyms that have, as well as the spots and crown icons that indicate the Pokémon in the gym, have a vertical line between some of the spots, as in the image below.
What does this line indicate?
Best Answer
That line indicates that the gym is above level 5.
It exists so that, at a glance, you can quickly tell the level of a gym just from the dots. Each dot represents a level and the crown represents one more. A filled dot is a Pokémon on the gym and the crown is the gym leader's Pokémon.
Were you at a location where GPS accuracy may have been "suboptimal"?
What I experienced often in those cases, is that your location bounces around the area when your GPS updates and decides that you are now in a different location. If this temporary new "wrong" location is too far away from the gym, it may cancel ongoing fights.
In this case, you may sometimes still see the "Gym too far away" message in the gym main menu for a short moment.
