If your team owns the gym you’re fighting at, you can choose a single Pokemon to fight and raise the gym’s prestige points. Prestige points affect how many Pokemon can be stationed at a given gym, which makes the gym harder to capture. If you successfully raise a gym’s level, you can drop one of your Pokemon off there.

Over time, and as your Pokemon battles, the gauge slowly depletes, as does your Pokemon’s CP. When the gauge is emptied, you’ll receive your Pokemon back.
