Gym lag killing two attackers at once?

Is anyone else having serious gym lag or is it just me. Its so bad that its impossible to dodge charge attacks and when you do dodge them the server thinks you were hit and kills the attacker, then brings out the next attacker automatically. But once it realized the attacker dodged it reverts the HP and automatically switches back the fainted attacker, but then they are invisible and take all the damage that the second attacker received that was automatically brought out. This "switching" keeps automatically happening for about 5 to 6 times and before I know it I have 2 attackers dead all because the server keeps switching them back and forth because it did not register the player dodged the first fatal attack.

Agree, this make strong charge moves with 1 bar like Solar Beam useful in defending.

I feel you! It had happened to me many times.
I try not to dodge when my attacker is close to faint, i change it or i let it die.

Yep, happens to me all the time lately. It doesnt really affects me when i'm taking a gym down, because my pokemon can deal with the damage. But when i'm prestiging, as i always battle with half cp attackers, i get destroyed by this f**king lag charge attack bug thing.
I get mad because i perfectly dodge every single attack, but the game hates me, and decides to kill my pokemon.

Niantic please FIX THIS

I noticed this bug as well. The bug has caused me a battle timeout and multiple fainted attackers while trying to prestige gyms lately. To remedy it, I now use stronger prestigers that can take a blow, instead of trying to prestige with low cp mons. I've never been so low on revives ever. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, along with the blue/green freeze screen upon game initialization.
