My Gym would be the final Gym as a powerful big team. (People think bug is weak so I’m about to prove them wrong.) I would give the player a choice to face me in a single or double battle. Each with their own unique teams and synergies.

This Team would be focused around lowering your stats as much as possible and then send in the 3 heavy hitters in the back. The lead would be Galvantula and Ribombeeto begin setting up. Overall I feel that the best way to tackle this team is to have pivot moves between your strong Pokémon so to never lose momentum.

This team works like a pseudo baton pass team. Buffing stats and switching to the sweepers. Although Volcarona and Beedril pack quite the punch on their own. This team could be handled with using switch mechanics like Roar and Red card but don’t make that your only strategy.
Anyways that’s my gym. Let me know which team you’d rather face and why. :)
