Any pokemon of that particular type would receive a 50% buff to stats (and therefore CP) or something like that. The type of the gym would change randomly every week.
Or go a completely different route and make gyms serve two purposes. One would be as it is right now, which is people battling other people's mons. The other portion would be AI-controlled gym challenges.
When the player chooses the AI option, he'll pick the difficulty (enemy mons at level 15 / 25 / 40) and battle 6 mons of a certain type just like in the main games.
If he defeats them all, he's rewarded with a bronze/silver/gold (depending on difficulty) badge of that type.
The players would then get rewards based on the number and the type of badges that they earned every week.
