New feature allows to win gyms easiser!

This is very useful! Today I was battling a 1900 CP Lapras at the bottom of a friendly gym. Based on this I selected my 1700 CP Rhydon with Rock Smash. However, I was unable to beat it. I could only get one Rock Smash in between dodges. It seems DPS was nearly halved just because of the dodge timing.

I tried several other pokemon with less than 1900 CP, the only one I was able to consistently beat it with was my 1650 Golduck. The Golduck would seem to have no advantage over a Lapras, but Water Gun is so fast I can hit it 4 or 5 times between dodges. Water Gun seems overpowering in many cases, it seems to be able to take out anything, although maybe not very quickly. My Golduck was Hydropump which is also quite powerful. Over 2000 CP Pokemon are sometimes hard to take out due to the time limit.

At another friendly gym my Golduck was able to take out a 1700 CP Slowbro together with a 1750 CP Golem (giving the gym around 1300 prestige points). It's funny taking out all the high level pokemon with a squirt gun! Fire pokemon don't stand a chance against it, I can take out three 2000 CP Arcanines with ease!
