I think the point was that you'd have to fight a super strong Pokemon that doesn't have any type weaknesses, which would make for a memorable encounter for everybody. Personally I always used to struggle against Cynthia's Spiritomb, the best option you had was using a Lucario that still has Foresight.

And that's exactly the problem. While it's nice that it can answer "Why does Flint have a Lopunny?" it doesn't exactly fix the "Press A on super-effective damage move 3 - 5 times to win!" issue unless that team has another strategy outside of "haha monotype damage go brrr". At least one of them is going to use Terastal to counter the team's counter, right? Normal gym leader using Tera Ghost? Anyone?

As far as I can tell, this "strategy" actually makes them weaker.
Imagine you're battling a water-type rain team, and your opponent sends out Ferrothorn, just to terastalize it into a water type so it's weak to the same things as the rest of the team.

Honestly i think winona was the only gym leader to ever come up with a monotype team that had pretty hard counters to her weakness. Still had a glaring weakness to ice but i dont think you had access to anything at that point with ice. There was also shock wave that wattson gave you which could be helpful if you still had it and that actually hard countered but not her team composition rather her strategy of using Guts/accuracy drops/evasion boosts since it always hits and wont activate any status conditions. Buuuut this is also countered by altaria who is built around dragon dance and earthquake and ground covered pretty much any other type you wouldve used against her so if she sets up youre basically about to watch your entire team get one shotted since the only 2 types that resist ground are weak to flying. Its the most effort ive ever seen gamefreak put into an npc trainer.
