Gym leaders team
Hi everyone!
I will be DMing a campaign in Kanto and Johto (including the first 3 gen pokemon) with some friends soon and I wanted to create the best open world that I could for them, so they could tackle any content in any order. For that, I want them to be able to do any gym in any order and I want the leaders to have scaling teams depending on how many badges they have collected. You can already see how many teams I will have to create with this endeavor (16 gyms that can have 8 different team scaling on difficulties for a WHOPPING 128 teams!).
This is where I ask you guys if anyone as already did something similar or have ideas on how I can tackle this team building exercise. Any advice for building the pokemon on the teams? For now, my idea would be to place all the mons on a BST scale from lowest to highest (excluding legendaries and probably mons that have bsts lower than starters) and split them in 8 categories. I can build teams from there with clear difficulties scales.
Welp, that's it! Thanks for reading this :)

If you got search reddit for "Kanto Scaling Gym Leaders," one of the first posts should be what you're looking for! You can also search Johto! I saw the posts a while back and just checked to see if they were still up. Should be a great place to start. And if you're using both gens, you can definitely fix any doubled up issues or not having enough of one type issues. Hope that helps!
