Gym Leader facts:
>Dragon
Leader in a small city (the first the player enters) with a Trainer’s School. Ace Student, is edgy and thinks high of himself. Drampa is a gift from his mother and is his real threat, Goomy was totally trained from himself and is laughably weak. His team represents a childish son with room to grow.
>Steel
Comes from a rough industrial port that ships and receives metals. Leader is a tough old shipbuilder who loves to raise younger Pokémon and uses his multiple Skarmory to send messages to his workers. He represents tough love, being a tough but fair mentor.
>Ground
From an underground city where the region gets most of its minerals (stones and metals), but is a bit underappreciated itself. The leader is a punky girl who wants to put her town on the map for its own merit through her battling talents.
>Bug
From the biggest city in the region, the leader is an older socialite who loves her city and runs its city council like an insect queen. She’s a bit judgemental and harsh, but she means well.
>Rock
From a rich craft city where the region’s gemstones are refined. Leader is a young rich guy with a chip on his shoulder and his own merit to prove after his father was found to be paying to win battles. You actually see him catch his Dusk Lycanroc, as it was a special ‘Mon your rivals were also trying to catch.
>Normal
From a ranch town, she’s the first Gym Leader’s mother. She’s very smothering and overprotective and her son moved as far as he could to escape her overprotective nature. They love each other, but they have a lot to learn. Her using a past leader’s ace (Drampa) is meant to symbolise her experience over you and her son.
>Psychic/Dark
Game ramps into doubles from here on, and the shift to dual type represents this. He’s a shady hypnotist who you find out later hypnotises people to lose battles to him and even helps indoctrinates people to the evil team.
>Electric/Ice
Text limit, but musclegirl.
