A gym leader designed around a concept rather than a type is a cool idea, but the issue with DP Flint is that they weren't actually trying to do that, they just cobbled together a bunch of shit because for some reason they really wanted to commit to the 151 regional dex, locking all the cross gen evos to postgame.
This concept was realized in Raihan who despite being a dragon gym leader, specializes in Weather. If Flint was competently designed, and if GF weren't retarded, he'd have synergy on his team with some Chlorophyll mons and pack answers to common fire weaknesses, something that can reasonably be done even with DP having the worst regional dex in the series. Unfortunately GF can't make games and this whole thing was thrown out the window come Pt where he has a completely forgettable fire team.
Anyone even pretending to defend this is just being contrarian. You can't even defend the concept.
