Something I find interesting is that besides the gym leaders having a clear “ace” that isn’t their Tera ‘Mon (Iono and Bellibolt, Grusha and Cetitan), their Tera ‘Mons collectively actually come pretty to representing the eight Gens before Paldea
Katy’s Ursaring/Brassius’ Sudowoodo - Gen 2
Grusha’s Altaria - Gen 3
Iono’s Mismagius and Larry’s Staraptor - Gen 4
Tulip’s Florges - Gen 6
Larry’s Crabominable - Gen 7
Ryme’s Toxtricity - Gen 8
Of course this leaves Gen 1 and 5 excluded, but considering these are the two largest Gens it’s odd they’re both not represented. I doubt this was intentional, but even on an incidental scale it could be because a Kanto and Unova were pretty overexposed in Galar. It’s possibly also probably nothing from these Gens fitted thematically for a GL’s character and type though.
It could also be because these two Gens have the worse designs but idk
