I remember that a couple of years ago some friends and I decided to do a kind of challenge in which we should form 2 teams: One as if you were playing our adventure, and another as if we were gym leaders. Each one would choose a type and we would challenge each other to see who would win. That was kind of hard to understand, but we had a lot of fun. Since then I like to think about different gym leaders and their teams.

In my case I would choose the psychic type. It's my favorite type and I think through the games I've learned how to make good use of it. My team would be made up of:

Gardevoir (Is my favorite pokemon, I could never not use it)
Malamar (Dark-type is my second favorite type, so I love this combination)
Metagross
Delphox
Espeon
Medicham

Indeedee, Claydol, Starmie, Xatu, or Gallade could replace Espeon, but I like it this way. I didn't include Legendaries because I thought it would be cheating. (^w^)7

Ice types, of course.

Glaceon, Alolan Ninetales and Aurorus are my fav Ice types so those three are automatically on the team =p
Froslass and Lapras are also definitely going on the team.
Tempted to go with Crabominable because of it's typing for the 6th, but I'm not that big on Crabominable.. so I'll go with Frosmoth.

Ice is my favorite as well!

I like when Gym Leaders use off-type Pokémon, so I'd have Wartortle (my favorite Pokémon) on my team if that's allowed here. It would know Ice Beam and hold Eviolite. I'd also use Weavile, Frosmoth (I <3 moths), Glaceon, Froslass, and Alolan Sandslash. (If off-type Pokémon aren't allowed, replace Wartortle with Snow Warning Vanilluxe. I like Lapras more, but it's difficult to imagine myself having one.)

Given my interests IRL, however, I could also see myself as a Bug-type Gym Leader. Mothim, Dunsparce (another top favorite), Shedinja, Flygon, Frosmoth, and Ribombee would be my picks here. (Swap Dunsparce and Flygon for Volcarona and Sandy Wormadam if off-types aren't allowed.) Not a very competitive team, but... =w=

I bet you’d never guess. :p

I see myself as being one of the earlier gyms, so I’d probably only have a Sylveon and a Clefairy. But it would definitely be bulky and I’d annoy trainers with stall and status, lol.

If I had to choose a single type, my favorite is electric! So probably something like:

1) Kantonian Raichu (male)
2) Ampharos (female, mega)
3) Jolteon (male)
4) Emolga (female)
5) Lanturn (male)
6) Luxray (male)

I also absolutely adore normal and ice types. Normals probably have my largest range of favorites, so if I had a normal gym I'd probably go with this:

1) Cinccino (female)
2) Furret (male)
3) Audino (female, mega)
4) Delcatty (female)
5) Zangoose (male)
6) Braviary (male)

Ice just has so many elegant Pokémon and I can't not include it. <3 From that type I would have:

1) Alolan Ninetales (female)
2) Mamoswine (male)
3) Glaceon (female)
4) Frosmoth (male)
5) Weavile (male)
6) Dewgong (male)

None are particularly threatening since they're made up of mons I like, but I still like these teams a lot.

Obviously Water type. Not an original type, but cool things can be done with water types. My team would be of 6, even tho it's not really usual for a gym leader.

-Ludicolo
-Swampert / Gastrodon
-Golisopod
-Azumarill
-Toxapex
-Empoleon

I would have a team of 6 Air Balloon Rotom-Fan

tremble at the might of a team where each member has 3 Ground immunities



But to be serious, I'd either be a Dragon-type Gym Leader or one that's not type specific (but will absolutely have at least one dragon). Preferably with a good gym design/puzzle.
