Your Gym type and Pokemon

I would like to have a dual type gym of Electric and Ice. I know that really has not been a thing... but why not?

my team:
Luxray
Mamoswine
Toxtricity
Electivire
Aurorus
Frosmoth

My design....I would have a white pompadour hair style and white goatee. I would have a long white and gray biker jacket, gray pants with white circular patter, light blue tie, light blue shoes with white lightningbolts on sides. I would wear light blue ski glasses and gray gloves.

Badge design: would be a snowflake with lightning bolt edges
 
Water types.

I will be battling on Double Battle and my gym will be in Dewford Town ( a fighting type gym in a small tropical town? )


Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Surf
- Aqua Ring
- Tailwind

Swampert @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD

- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Bulk Up

Ludicolo @ Damp Rock
Ability: Rain Dish

If people are not prepared to face this rain team, then they are not worthy of the Rain Badge.
 
Ghost type gym designed around the idea of witches, sorcery and hexes.

-Mismagius
-Froslass
-Chandelure (or Alolan Marowak)
-Banette
-Gourgeist
-Ninetales (not a Ghost, but it learns Ghost moves naturally and its Pokedex entries talk about curses and supernatural powers, so it fits with the theme perfectly)
 
First Person to choose flying at least we have a lot of types in here! In my ideal gym, I would be the 8th gym leader and there would be two restrictions, 2 hyper potions allowed only, when you go to your bag, 2 hyper potions are the only things that would show up! The second restriction, when the battle starts, your style gets put to set instead of switch 😈 Pokemon listed is the order they would come out.

Emolga-Static-Focus Sash
Double Team
Nuzzle
Agility
Baton Pass

Talonflame-Galewings-Leftovers
Bulk Up
Roost
Brave Bird
Flare Blitz

Hawlucha-Unburden-Flying Gem
Flying Press
Poison Jab
Fire Punch
Thunder Punch

Dragonite-Multiscale-Weakness Policy
Dragon Dance
Extremespeed
Dragon Claw
Earthquake

Corviknight-Pressure-Rocky Helmet
Iron Defense
Roost
Body Press
Iron Head

Gyarados-Moxie-Lum Berry
Dragon Dance
Substitute
Waterfall
Earthquake

The match starts with Emolga trying to status and baton pass double team + agility into a bulky Talonflame with Bulk Up, Roost, and Leftovers. Hawlucha comes out next on the, assumedly, rock type you used to beat Talonflame and is just here to get off damage fast. Next is Dragonite, turn one, DD because it lives anything besides a crit Ice Beam, pretty much. Emolga will either Baton Pass into Talonflame or Dragonite depending on who matches up better with the Pokemon currently in. Corviknight comes out late to be tanky and Pressure stall because your Pokemon are probably pretty weak by this point and DD, Sub, Moxie Gyarados to come finish off the game!

I want this matchup to be really hard, having to earn your way into the elite four instead of coasting in like we do nowadays. If this gym is entirely under my control, there is also a level 60 cap and all of my mons are 55-59 with Gyarados being level 60 as my ace (if you bring in overleveled Pokemon, they just get set to level 60). You are rewarded with either Roost or Brave Bird and you have to beat me again if you want the other TM.

The gym would be in a forest and it would be a zip-line maze with 3 unavoidable and 2 option trainers.

Unavoidable trainer 1: Swellow, Tropius, Pelipper
Unavoidable trainer 2: Noctowl, Xatu, Crobat (Birdkeeper Roni)
Unavoidable trainer 3: Dodrio, Pidgeot, Charizard
Optional trainer 1: Emolga, Sigilyph, Swoobat
Optional trainer 2: Togekiss, Drifblim, Staraptor

Maybe I'll make sets for these too eventually.




just noticed that your gym trainers have all of their pokemon from 1 region.

Unavoidable trainer 1 has Hoenn birds, 2 has Johto birds, 3 has Kanto birds, optional trainder has Unova birds and 2 has Sinnoh birds....
 
Your team is like competing in showdown or any competitive games ...... mostly your because of your items like ASSAULT VEST,HEAVY-DUTY BOOTS,AND LIGHT CLAY.....

Bro, that's not even competitve stuff, most competitive teams would use weather, terrain, baton pass, weakness policy, etc.

She just put some items... but I get your point...
 
I'd pick a Water type gym. Though, I'd like to make things a little more "extra".

Instead of going with a generic building with some arbitrary puzzle elements and random trainers I'd set up an entire island. Fights take a back seat, in fact people would only fight a single battle at the end. Everything else is about solving water themes puzzles as a means to get further into exploring the island. Puzzles ranging from simple surfing tasks, waterfall climbing, but also water carrying, watery illusion "magic", maybe some water level raising/lowering, a rainbow puzzle etc. Goal would be to get to the top of a giant tower right in the middle of the island.

There'll also be rain. It will ultimately culminate into the final battle where the challenger has to fight a party build around rain.

Pokemon I could see being used:
- Pelipper
- Gastrodon
- Gyarados
- Azumarill
- Kingdra
- Manaphy
 
A Steel and Fire type fusion Gym; my battle will be a double battle

Aegislash (Ace Pokemon)
Stance Change-Leftovers
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- King's Shield
- Iron Head
- Shadow Sneak

Bisharp
Defiant-Focus Sash
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Night Slash
- Sucker Punch
- Protect

Escavalier
Overcoat-Assault Vest
- X-Scissor
- Iron Head
- Close Combat
- Drill Run

Salazzle
Corrosion-Life Orb
- Toxic
- Venoshock
- Flamethrower
- Protect

Volcarona
Flame Body-Heavy Duty Boots
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Heat Wave
- Giga Drain

Pyroar
Unnerve-Charcoal
- Sunny Day
- Flamethrower
- Hyper Voice
- Solar Beam

Most of the Pokemon on my team are male with the exception of Salazzle, who is female (her species is female only)

My gym leader outfit: Blacksmith attire (white t shirt and blue jeans) with a smock and welding goggles

My gym badge: A large hex nut with a flame in the center

If the player defeats me, I will reward him/her with the TR Iron Head and TM Flamethrower
 
I'd be a Poison-type Gym Leader, with a bit of an Electric touch.

I'd make my gym inspired by a waste-to-energy plant, full of conveyor belts and to-be-recycled trash. Expect to encounter some wild Grimer and Muk along the way.

Here's what my team would be (alongside an explanation of what each one would do):

Galarian Weezing
Spoiler:


Alolan Muk
Spoiler:


Roserade
Spoiler:


Heliolisk
Spoiler:


Galarian Slowbro
Spoiler:


Charjabug

So you've beaten me? Congratulations. Here's an Energy Badge (which kinda looks like a purple lightbulb) and TMs for Sludge Bomb and Wild Charge.
 
It was tough trying to decide between Rock and Bug. Bug is my favourite type but Rock is my 2nd favourite and has my two favourite Pokemon in, but I decided on Rock for me.

I was thinking about being A Grass Type Gym Leader which would allow me to include my fav stater line that I love the Turtwig line and some other Grass Starters but if I left starters out I would be a Bug Type Gym Leader, not the only type I was thinking of example Electric, Flying or Ice might have been cool but I love Yanmega and there is a lot more Bug Type Pokemon I like that are not duel Flying types and some loss the Bug type when they evolve which means I wont be able to pick out of all bug looking Pokemon and my fav fossil's the Lileep line are not bug types so I will pick a different Fossil Pokemon so overall I am gonna stick with Bug Type Pokemon that may have secondary types :)

1 Kricketune
2 Parasect
3 Ninjask
4 Yanmega
5 Golisopod
6 Armaldo

I love that a lot of people have gone into detail about moves , look of the gym and even dialog ect so I might have a go at that but I wont include everything yet cause I am not sure or want to think about some things more before deciding.

I think my Gym will be in a room to stay warm but like have jungle and other natural elements like palm trees, bushes ect , maby there are different levels (like in the Amazon RainForest) you have to fly to on a Bug Type Pokemon.

The badge would be called The Compound Badge like insect Compound eyes especially with Yanmega and the DragonFlies its based on :)

Probs the 4th or 5th Gym in the region :)

Seeing Kricktune here is super cool! He's really underrated and I think could use a boost or something. Glad to see people who like it :D
 
hey , how are you :)

I am glad you liked my Kricketune pick I dont really hear anyone like that Pokemon or its line in general, its not the best but I think its interesting you know a little music bug is cool and the cry is memorable and interesting/comforting :)

I see on your profile you've posted like thousands of messages over the years :) and I am quite new here so I dont know where to begin as in places you've commented and the topics ect I bet there is lots of interesting discussions you've had so mayby we could pick a Pokemon related topic to talk about and mayby its a interesting discussion for others :)

Regards - Declan Sargent

Either Ice or Bug. Ice is my favorite type to use in-game and I really like taking pics of insects (especially moths and caterpillars) IRL.

ICE GYM

Initial battle: Wartortle, Sneasel, Frosmoth

Rematch: Wartortle, Weavile, Frosmoth, Glaceon, Froslass, Alolan Sandslash

Wartortle is currently my favorite Pokémon, Sneasel's part cat, and Frosmoth a moth—three of my favorite things! Wartortle would know Ice Beam to make it fit and would hold Eviolite during rematches.

BUG GYM

Initial battle: Mothim, Dunsparce, Shedinja

Rematch: Mothim, Dunsparce, Shedinja, Flygon, Frosmoth, Volcarona

If you couldn't tell by now, I like when Gym Leaders use off-type Pokémon (as long as they make sense). Flygon is based on an insect and Dunsparce somewhat resembles a hornworm and draws partial inspiration from bees. (As a reference to my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth, my Dunsparce may be Shiny.)
 
I hate the single type gym leaders, so Imma be a Dual type gym leader. (assuming I'm the last gym leader) I would be an Electric/Steel type Leader, giving the Mecha Badge. The Gym challenge would have the player scaling up a large tower, Using Elevators, fixing lights to progress (or just go through in the dark) The trainers you could end up fighting would have Pokémon around Level 45-50, Items would be hidden in dark corners and eventually the player reaches my Office.

When the player enters, I open with "Took you long enough, wait, you're not the handyman!, oh right, gym challenger, alright, I'll make this quick." And I lead with Galvantula, setting up Sticky Web and Electric Terrain, then they start hitting the opponent with Strong Electric Moves. Next up is Lanturn, who is mainly there to deal with pesky fire types that swapped in to deal with Galvantula. After that Lucario comes out, and is there to Aura sphere Steel Types that tried to body my previous Electric Types, A simple strong attacker! Magnezone is my second to last Pokémon, and is a total beast. Flash Cannon and Discharge are my Main moves, with Body Slam and Substitute as Secondary moves that I use less. My Last Pokémon, The final Gym Pokémon in the Gym Challenge, is my Ace, Scizor.

It's main ability is Technician, running Bullet Punch, Dual Wingbeat, Superpower, and Swords Dance. It holds a Liechi Berry, and can easily out speed and Sweep whatever is left of the Opponent's Team. My winning remarks are: "Comeback later bud, and make sure you tell mark that he's late to Fix these Lights!" and my losing remarks are: "Dang, pretty impressive lil' buddy, not many of you challengers have made it past me." All of my Pokémon are level 54-55 with Scizor being Level 60. My Gym name is the Mechahead Gym, and my badge is called the Technician Badge, and I give the TM for Bullet Punch.
 
I would be a ground type gym leader with a hiking trail themed gym! You'd have to switch from trail to trail in order to avoid gym trainers. If I was the seventh gym leader, my team would be something like this:

- Runegrigrus, LV 37
- Camerupt, LV 37
- Torterra, LV 38
- Mamoswine LV 38
- Krookodile LV 40
