Badge: Starlight Badge
Type: Fairy + Psychic
Pokémon: Morulull, Gothorita, Lunatone, Clefable
TM: Moonblast

The theme of this gym is the beauty and mystique after the sun sets, as well as the dangers. All of the Pokémon I picked for this gym have some assoiciation with the night. I see this as probably being a mid-game gym, being as two of the mons aren't fully evolved. The gym doesn't really have a puzzle; it's very cut off from it's town, and trainers trying to reach it have to walk through several patches of tall grass, so the leader finds it unnecessary. (I'm inclined to assume games following SwSh will continue having story modes with a locked day/night cycle, so the game would be locked at night when the player has to go down the route to get to this gym.)
 
Guardian Badge.
Type: This Gym doesn't specialize in a specific type, the team members are Pokémon closely related to justice and protection, but most are Psychic types because is the one that is most often related to this concept.
Team: Absol, Gallade, Gardevoir, Espeon, Golurk, Escavalier.
TM: Protect.
This Gym is located in a castle that in ancient times belonged to a King, which goes perfectly with Gallade and Escavalier inspiration in knights and with Gardevoir and Absol inspiration in guardian angels since it was very common for castles to have angel statues as decoration.
 
Show Badge
Type: Psychic
Team:
Mr. Mime, Chimecho, Delphox, Pa'u Oricorio, Gardevoir (Mega)
TM: Wonder Room
Eternal's gym is in a theatre, and she battles her challengers on a large stage at the front; people come to watch both the battles and the plays she holds there from all across the region. Challengers enter the theatre through the stage door, and battle three gym trainers on stage, in a sequence narrated by the gym leader herself. (The gym trainer's themes follow the performance theme of the gym, however don't necessarily stick to the psychic type that Eternal uses.) If the challenger wins, Eternal will enter the stage for a final battle.
All of Eternal's Pokémon are performers, and participate in the plays performed in the theatre as well as the battles.
 
Dark Type
Cunning Badge
Bisharp, Zweilous, Weavile, Gothorita, Absol (P.S. I know Gothorita isn't Dark/Psychic type, some official Gyms/Type Experts have teams with Pokemon outside their type. Ex. Raihan, Candice, Lance, Flint, Agatha, etc., and its been done before in this thread)
TM: Sucker Punch.

Within a city that sparks with light even in the dimmest night, lies a modest, if dilapidated looking, facility where a certain Dark type user hides. With a rather small population of Gym Trainers, rumors abound the young adult Gym Leader who's been crowned "The Prowling Wind of Dawn Skies" by the Pokemon League. Some suggest that they turned to a life of delinquency and self-adjustment following the abandonment of a certain household, which could explain the detached, sheltered demeanor that they show when someone approaches them. Regardless of background, as a mid-game challenge for the journey ahead, this Gym Leader is considered a wake-up call. Their Absol, which has been bestowed with a Mega Stone, is as dangerous as its 'angelic' visage shows; and those who think a Fighting type would be enough will have to contend to their Gothorita and Bisharp, respectively; especially with the guile trap of Shadow Tag by the former's side.
 
Mixed Typing (Dragon/Dark)
The Hellscape Badge
Gym:8
Pokemon: Garchomp (Ace) {Lvl 53}, Spiritomb {Lvl 51}, Zweilous {Lvl 50}, Gengar {Lvl 49}, Krookodile {LVL48}
TM: Night Slash

A trainer whose face has never been seen. Their gym gives an ominous presence around the serene town it inhabits. Rumors spread that in the gym rests a deadly beast that has never seen the light of day in generations. Back to the gym, it's inhabited by wild pokemon, which are uncatchable for some reason. The Gym Leader is simply called Chidamari and has never been seen outside of the gym. It battles from the shadows. Trainers that managed to beat the gym leader recall not remembering how they won, only that they had the badge.
 
Badge: Yeah Badge
Type: Various
Team: Wynaut, Audino, Indeedee, Wobbuffett
TM Given: TM109, After You
 
Ooo Badge.
Type: Various.
Team: Gallade, Ditto, Alcremie, Noivern, Galarian Darmanitan, Delphox.
TM: Hyper Beam.
This Gym Leader started their Pokémon journey being a big fan of Adventure Time, so much so that they decided to have their own Gym inspired by the series, with each member of their Pokémon team representing one of the main characters, at the start the battlefield would randomly change to an environment inspired by an Ooo scenario. Currently the Gym has gained enormous popularity, so much that some trainers challenge it more for the opportunity to see inside the building than for the badge itself, since only challengers are allowed to enter.
 
Badge: Research Badge
Type: Grass & Poison
Team: Skrelp, Weepinbel, Breloom
TM: Grass Knot
Gym theme: Scavenger hunt, The Player has to search around the forest themed gym and find hidden static Pokémon encounters that when caught, open the door to the next room. Hints can be found by battling the trainers scattered around each room.

Sinnohan Badge
Type: Technically Psychic, but the Gym's layout takes after the clock-design of Gardenia's Gym, and the 'Gym Trainers' are just volunteers who use what they want.
Team: Gallade, Xatu, Clefable, Meowstic, Appletun
TM: Psyshock

Much like the 'Kantonian Gym' from Malie City, Alola, this isn't an officially established facility affiliated by the local Pokemon League; but rather an emulation of a Gym meant to replicate the experience of going into one; as the above trainer is within a region that currently doesn't host the traditional Gym challenge. However, unlike the Kantonian Gym, ^ has experience with an actual Gym challenge, having lived their childhood in Sinnoh. So, they help organize the Gym to be more closer to the traditional challenge by at least advising those who are volunteering to at least carry one Psychic type Pokemon to emulate the experience. And though the layout would be technically inaccurate, the Gym is noticeably decorated with flowers and greenery ranging around colors such as magenta, purple, and pink; which befit the loose Psychic typing.
 
Enigma Badge
Type: Ghost and Normal.
Team: Porygon-Z, Mimikyu, [Mega] Sableye [Ace], Misdreavus, Ditto
TM: Confuse Ray

This gym is themed around mystery, puzzle pieces, and that sometimes, things are not as they seem. On the surface, it is very colorful and full of plushies. But these plushies are actually Mimikyu and Ditto in disguise, which must be defeated to get the piece of the puzzle to defeat the gym leader.
 
Lycanthrope Badge.
Type: Mostly Rock.
Team: Dusk Lycanroc, Midday Lycanroc, Midnight Lycanroc, Zacian (If the challenger's team is mostly defensive) or Zamazenta (If the challenger's team is mostly offensive).
TM: Stone Edge.

The leader of this mysterious Gym was raised by Pokémon, having a family bond with them, especially with the Lycanroc pack who adopted him as one of their own. He was found many years later by a group of explorers from Galar, but although the wild boy refused to go with them his pack convinced him that maybe it would be better to know the world where he comes from, in the end he decided to listen to the words of his family and with great sadness he left.

Years passed, his story became world famous, learned countless things that he would never have known if he had decided to stay, but there was always a void that was never filled. One day he decided that although a part of him was in the human world, his heart belonged elsewhere, he left a letter thanking Galar for all the help he received and for being a second home all that time, and he returned to visit the family who had done so much for him.

In the end he decided to combine both worlds, he became a protector of the forest that was now his permanent home, and decided to have a Gym like nobody had seen before. It was located in a cave deep in the forest, to get there the trainers would have to defeat wild Pokémon through a maze of trees, those Pokémon would be volunteers as they would see this as a way to strengthen their abilities and maybe meet a good trainer.

The leader in all the time he lived in Galar never had a Pokémon of his own, he uses members of the pack who wanted to get stronger, but the bond with his pack makes it seem like he's been in Pokémon battles all his life. Rumors also say that in his years living in Galar he formed a friendship with a very special pair of Pokémon, but that's just a rumor right?

(I didn't think my answer will be that long, I basically wrote a fanfiction there :ROFLMAO:)
