Trainer Cynthia

       “From what I heard…” From her brother that is. “These pokémon are a hassle to deal with if you happen to wake it up…”

                           Glancing  up  from  the  litter  that  had  been  around  his  Gym,  (  he had been doing some public service and was helping keep the City clean  ) when  he  heard  the  voice  of  a  SOMEWHAT  OVERLY  PLEASANT  CYNTHIA  he  furrowed  his  brows  in  confusion. What  was  she  going  on  about  now  ?  He  wondered,  his  head  tilting  ever  so  slightly. “ T’ fuck are y’ talkin’ ‘bout, I ‘aven’t battled a kid  in weeks. “

Cynthia’s style, were she ever to become a gym leader, would be “place limitations on myself, based on the challenger’s skill, and then fight to my full capabilities within those limitations”. 

Dragon-types aren’t exactly plentiful in Sinnoh, so she would probably choose to be a Ground-type leader instead. Her TM would be Dig for newer trainers, EQ for ones who can handle themselves.

As for her team? Depends on how many badges the challenger has!

0-1: A newcomer! Nothing too rough. Gligar, Gible

2-3: Starting to understand that type match-ups are a little more complicated than “bring a Pokemon of the right type”. Wooper, Quagsire, Gabite.

4-5: Time to introduce weather! Welcome to the sandstorm. Hippopotas, Gligar, Hippopotas, Gabite

6-7: The full force of the sandstorm, exploited for all it’s worth. Hippowdon, Quagsire, Gliscor, Garchomp

8: A rematch! Well, then. Hippowdon, Quagsire, Gliscor, Gastrodon, Steelix, Garchomp

“Camellia’s your Garchomp, right? I’d go with Flamethrower if it’s mainly Ice-types you’re concerned with, since they’ll probably go down to it alone. But if you really feel like you need more power, Fire Blast should do just fine.”

“Is this a rating? Like, five female Garchomp out of five? Because I appreciate both the rating and the scale.

I did, but I was panicking a little bit, and was rushing to just get them out, without really making sure I knew who was who.
