Fighting an aggressive "Gym Tyranitar" GRB-feeder for 2 hours

Earlier today, I was taking down a Mystic gym, where 5 defenders have already been there for 8 hours 30 minutes. When I finished the 2nd round, I was shocked to seel all the defenders at full motivation again. It was about 6pm, there was no good reason for them to be feeding berries.

I continued attacking for an hour. I always attack "Gym Tyranitars", my funny term for overstayer berry-feeders, non stop until I can't go on anymore. I didn't use many potions, as the gym composition was:
1: Chansey ZH/HB
2: Dragonite DT/H
3: Flareon E/FB
4: Gyarados DT/HP
5: Ttar IT/SE
6: Blissey P/DG (2.5k CP)

I kept attacking the Chansey non-stop. But the feeder didn't hit the berry cap, they fed 15 berries in 30 minutes.

Then after an hour, I went to attack a nearby Valor gym. I encountered some resistance from berry feeders too there, so I came back to attack the Mystic gym.

This time, the berry feeder wasn't paying enough attention. I took out the Chansey, but later they fed the Dragonite and Flareon.

Again I went on for another hour, and finally they stopped feeding. But I got sniped by Valor.

Luckily Valor only slotted in one Hariyama, so I managed to take it down very quickly before other Valor players slotted in.

Edit: I was also very close to gold badge for that gym, so that was another reason I kept attacking. I got my gold badge about 30 minutes after returning from the Valor gym.

15 berries in an hour isn't cap.

10 in an half hour is cap. Once that 30 passes they can reberry.

So a tanky chansey or blissey must be hit hard to berry cap.

Ah then likely answer is you ran into a family, a carpool of friends, or a multiaccounter.

It's not likely that multiple people noticed the attack at same time otherwise unless they were physically together.

I always battle the first defender thrice, to determine whether there are berry feeders defending the gym (which there usually are in Singapore).

I love gym defenders. Free gym exp. the only downside in your case is that Chansey is up front. Would love to see blissey or other high CP defenders first.
