If you had to open a type-specific gym, what type would you choose?

  • I'd pick a Steel-type gym, obviously. It is my favourite type after all and there haven't been too many Steel gyms anyway.

    As for my team it'd probably look like this:
    Skarmory
    Lucario
    Bisharp
    Steelix
    Empoleon
    Mega Aggron

    I would go as Steel-type as well.

    For my team
    -Bisharp
    -Aggron
    -Lucario
    -Empoleon
    -Metagross
    -Mega Scizor

  • That's an easy one :D
    I would call myself Ben and have a team consisted of ghost-types:

    1. Froslass (haUntudown)
    2. Mismagius (leaveNow)
    3. Banette (wHydenyus)
    4. Gengar (solOnely)
    5. Dusknoir (folLowme)
    6. Drifblim (trappedYou)

    (Note: This team is an idea I did in the 4th gen, so it's possible that I would change it up to fit the needs of the 6th gen of which I have no idea since I don't own a 3DS.)

    1.Kabutops
    2.Armaldo
    3.Bastiodon
    4.Rhydon
    5.Aggron
    6.Archeops



    But! If I'll go with my favorite type, it is Ground.

    1.Rhydon
    2.Marowak
    3.Flygon
    4.Steelix
    5.Nidoking
    6.Mamoswine

    I'd have a tropical resort themed fire type gym with tiki torches. My team would be as follows.
    - Talonflame
    - Arcanine
    - Houndoom
    - Blaziken (main)

    For an electric type gym, I'd have a neon city theme going on. That team would be as follows.
    - Manectric
    - Heliolisk
    - Electivire
    - Jolteon (main)

    Both are double battles.

    I love Dark Pokemon as well. I just love their evil, malicious nature. They are so cunning, smart, tricky and can always find a way out of anything through their obscure ways. They are real pranksters and can cause havoc and panic whenever they appear.

    My team would be :
    Mandibuzz
    Absol or Mightyena
    Malamar
    Sableye
    Krookodile
    Skuntank or Drapion

    They would be so tough!!! :D

    But another type I would absolutely love to specialize in is Fairy. It's so mystical, magical and majestic. I am so intrigued by fairies because they are the most mysterious pokemon. They can be both good and evil at the same time or just mischievous for the sake of fun. They can beat dark types which shows that they are even stronger than evil yet they can also beat fighting which shows that they are not on the good-guys side also. They fight with magic and grace and can deceive and trick anyone.

    Team :
    Sylveon
    Florges
    Aromatisse
    Clefable
    Wigglytuff or Granbull
    Diancie

    Fairies are the strongest.

    So, yeah my faves are both dark and fairies because they are both shrouded in mystery and magic.

  • Definitely dark type. With a gym that looks like a haunted house. :D Maybe that'd be more appropriate for a ghost-type gym, but they're pretty closely related so hey, it works.

    My team would be:
    1. Zoroark
    2. Absol
    3. Mightyena
    4. Tyranitar
    5. Greninja
    6. Houndoom

  • Water-type. It's my favorite type, and Water is my element. I also adore Ice as an element, and a lot of Water-types can learn Ice moves... so that's included. On top of that, my second favorite type is Ground, and that's not only a common type to see combined with Water, but it's a very effective pairing.

    Ideally, my Gym would be converted from an old shipwreck, and I'd theme my team on crustaceans.
