If You Were A Gym Leader

Ghost:
Sableye, mismagius, Duskull, and wigglytuff. just for fun
 
Type -
Mixed

Pokémon -
Gliscor
Gyarados
Breloom
Magmortar
Electevire

No way would I be beaten by a trainer using one Pokémon of a type stronger than the entire team.
 
Type: Mixed
Pokemon:
Sceptile
Xatu
Gyarados
Dusknoir
Charizard
Hariama
Maybe a bit overpowered because of the variety, but that was the reason of the choice. Trainers using a single type would be at a huge disadvantage, so badly that someone who has just started their career would be able to beat you because they picked the grass starter. I tried to avoid starters but i couldn't resist, they both have dragon qualities without being dragon type, something i was trying to do but quickly gave up on.

Gym puzzle:
An oriental themed maze where you have to use fireworks to knock down platforms and break certain walls

That's why I added the Starmie to my gym roster. So that it could take out Ground/Rock types that might threaten my Electric types. Also, Starmie could use Electric attacks so I'm not straying from my specialty.
 
Grass

- Bellsprout
- Sunflora
- Jumpluff
- Ludicolo
- Cradily

Bellsprout would be my strongest one... even though its a basic pokemon. Thats okay though I'd make it work somehow ;)
 
Ghost;

Haunter
Dusknoir
Spiritomb
Mismagius
Rotom

I always think of it this way:

Gyms and the Elite 4 are there to challenge trainers. If a trainer is training up just one Pokemon, they'd be put at a disadvantage (theoretically) if they come up against an opposing type. Even if they're training a balanced team, if one type is super effective against most of their team, they'll be struggling to pull through. Having mostly monotype gyms and Elite 4 tests their ability to stand up to the elements in Pokemon.

Plus if mixed was allowed in the Pokemon universe, EVERYONE would have mixed teams. And they'd all vie to have the best competitive Pokemon and there would be no variety.

Honestly I think it would take more skill to train and select Pokemon of a single type that would be able to stand up to whatever trainers throw at them than to pick a balanced mixed team. ;)
 
type: phsychic
pokemon: Gardevoir, Gallade, Espeon, Chimecho, Mr.Mime, and Noctowl.
 
Leader Sortail
Type: Water
Gym: It would be a place where you have to race your rival, and swim through an underwater maze before a time limit runs out. At the end there are 3 rows of rock smash rocks to waste your time, and you have to break a particular rock in each row. Once you get up you first battle your rival (if you lose you have to do the maze all over again :) and then battle the leader's butler, gardener, and maid.
Butler:
Ditto lv 34
Seaking lv 35
Gardener:
Lombre lv 34
Lombre lv 36
Maid:
Miltank lv 35
Gyrados lv 34
Seaking lv 36
After beating the maid, all your fainted pokemon get fully healed, but all status conditions don't go away. (Gyrados repidatly uses ice beam, which is annoying if your pokemon get frozen.
Actual Leader
Note: Milotic has very good ways of beating up Grass and Electric types.
The first 2 pokemon are chosen randomly from these. The third pokemon is always milotic.
Seaking lv 41
Waterfall
Aqua Ring
Horn attack
Water pulse
Sharpedo lv 45
Agiility
Taunt
Aqua Jet
Crunch
Gyrados lv 43
Ice beam
Flail
Sleep talk
Rest
Azumarill lv 46
Defense curl
Bubblebeam
Water gun
Aqua ring

FINAL POKEMON
Milotic lv 49
??????
???????
Ice beam
Surf

Your pokemon at this time would be about lv 42, so this would be a hard leader.

I wouldn't need to have too many Pokemon: 3 is fine. I'd probably be like the 2nd or 3rd leader for some reason.

Water Gym Baby! I actually drew what my gym would look like a while back:
[PokeCommunity.com] If You Were A Gym Leader


It would look something like that and my pokemon would be:
-Lapras
-Azumarill
-Whiscash
-Empoleon
-Lanturn
-and some other water type i gavent decided yet
**These would only be my battle team but I would have may other water pokemon and some of other types ^_^
 
No doubt about it for me--Fighting-types;

-Infernape
-Medicham
-Lucario
-Machamp
-Heracross
-Poliwrath

I have actually built this team in Platinum, though EVs are only half-way complete. If I'm restricted to the usual three or so Pokemon that we often see with gym leaders, then I'd be using the first three.

Edit - I might use Gallade rather than Medicham.
 
Type: Fire

Pokemon:

Infernape
Camerupt
Magmar
Arcanine
Houndom
Rapidash
