Have you tried faking out the illumise? Shelly isn't just a bug type gym- it's also largely a water type gym so your fire types aren't very helpful. You can either sub them for more flying types (beware of the anorith) or get water types since they're also useful if illumise sets up rain. Out of the mons you listed, I'd give a chance to emolga (both flying and electric moves would be handy) and espurr (if it has fake out, solely for flinching illumise and getting rid of rain).

I had also obtained a Numel based on other guides for the game, was planning to use camerupt for a while

As for useful items other than that I have a single heart scale for move relearns, An electric gem and grass gem. I'm aware my team could be way better with moves, so if theres any tips on that i'd appreciate it. Is there a mon I could use that I missed? I've been stumped on this gym for a few hours now trying out new mons.
