Nidorina or Nidorino could both be pretty good aces in poison gym early on.

Durant might be too evil. Bug/Steel is pretty durable if you lack fire types

I'm legit shocked there hasn't been a ground gym as the first gym yet there's been 3 regions where you start with a rock gym.

Swinub would be a good start because it's weak to all 3 starter types.
Then I'd go with Trapinch because it's slow and frail, but packs a punch. Sort of like Roark's Cranidos, but with STAB.
The ground gym's TM could be dig, which would help kids who got lost in a cave or something.

Alternatively, other pokemon who play differently than their evos, like shelmet and karrablast for a bug gym.

The Shelmet and Karrablast thing gave me an idea...
What about a Gym Leader duo who uses Shelmet , Karrablast, and Volbeat and Illumise as their aces?
Hell I'll make movesets right now.

>Leader 1
Prefers using support and status effects to assist the other.
-Shelmet, Shell Armor Lv. 12 (Struggle Bug, Acid, Encore, Yawn)
-Volbeat, Prankster Lv. 14 (Struggle Bug, Flash, Helping Hand, Confuse Ray)

>Leader 2:
Their Pokemon prefer attacking
-Karrablast, Shed Skin Lv. 13 (Headbutt, Struggle Bug, Bug Bite, Pursuit)
-Illumise, Tinted Lens Lv. 15 (Struggle Bug, Charge Beam, Water Pulse, Round)

The TM is Struggle Bug, of course.

Also lemme guess, too Reborn-tier difficult?

Just make sure it has shitty moves then. It will be the new Brock's Onix.
Vice Grip, Sand Attack, Rock Smash, Dig.

Alternatively, you could give it okayish moves and Truant.

Even bad moves might be too much with Hustle. The player would get outsped and have to rely on Hustle's accuracy decrease to not die.

Onix has a base Attack of 45.
Durant has a base Attack of 109.

Not to mention higher Spe, slightly higher HP and SpD, much better typing, and possibly Hustle (although giving it Swarm without a bug move might be okay)

It just dawned on my that Sunflora would totally work for an early-game Grass gym.
Fuck it I'll make a whole team right now.

-Hoppip, Leaf Guard Lv. 12 (Grass Knot, Fairy Wind, Poison Powder, Synthesis)
-Lotad, Rain Dish Lv. 11 (Grass Knot, Bubble, Astonish, Icy Wind)
-Cottonee, Prankster Lv. 12 (Grass Knot, Fairy Wind, Leech Seed, Stun Spore)
-Budew, Poison Point Lv. 13 (Grass Knot, Water Sport, Stun Spore, Pin Missile)
-Snover, Soundproof Lv. 14 (Grass Knot, Powder Snow, Water Pulse, Grass Whistle)
-Sunflora, Solar Power Lv. 15 (Grass Knot, Growth, Hidden Power Rock, Flower Shield)

Also yes, yes, I know. A full team early-game is overkill

Seriously. The Johto gym leaders mostly used Gen I Pokemon. It's pathetic. This is how I would changed things up:

Falkner - Murkrow, Pidgeotto
Bugsy - Butterfree, Beedrill, Scizor
Whitney - Clefairy, Stantler, Miltank
Morty - Misdreavus, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar
Chuck - Primeape, Poliwrath, Hitmontop
Jasmine - Magneton, Skarmory, Steelix
Pryce - Dewgong, Jynx, Piloswine
Clair was fine.

Reminder that johto gyms used more gen 1 mons because it was supposed to be the last pokemon game and they wanted you find all the cool new ones in the post game to keep you playing longer. Still a shit decision.

Man, why do I keep having strange urges to make teams? Not like competitive teams but NPC teams.
(Note: I am the anon that made those Grass and Bug teams)
