It's not bad because it's not monotype, it's bad because it's very haphazard.
It's a half-hearted sunny day team made up of pokemon that have no business being in one (Steelix doesn't even have any STAB lmao).
If it had like a grass type with Chlorophyll and Solarbeam something, then it'd be kino.

Yeah, its because of autists who got butthurt over Flint that the later games became so simple or unoriginal.
I would've loved it if gym leaders and e4 actually focused on a theme rather than just having a monotype team that you sweep with one move or two.

Why does Gamefreak always make elite 4 members around types that haven't got enough Pokémon in their regional dex to make a team of 5 for said type.

And in some cases, like Bruno, they have enough Pokémon but give him two Onix's anyway

That's because there weren't enough mons of their respective types in existence to fill out their teams.

It's only in the postgame if you insert a Leaf Green cartridge into your gba slot. That or you transfer it from Leaf Green through Pal {ark. So basically a giant stunt to get you to buy more stuff.

Wood gets burnt when in flames, lets give it some random grass type with fire coverage, ice melts in the sun, lets give it an ice type with sunny day + water moves. Shitty logic, plus the team doesn't even have synergy, its not harder to beat than a monotype.

What's the point of adding Magmortar and having a fire-type elite 4 member if he's not even gonna use it and it's not even gonna exist until the postgame?
And the E4's teams don't even change in the postgame.

This. I hate when people put the idea of themed gym leaders on a pedestal without actually looking at the execution.
Yeah, the idea of Raihan being a weather-themed gym leader is cool, but it was executed horribly because GF is too stupid to design his team for weather.
And people think that it's a good idea to have a "food-themed gym leader" or a "music-themed gym leader". No. It's a terrible idea.
At least make their theme one with a mechanical basis like weather, setup moves, pivoting, etc.
