Comments about the match:Bad first move by me(or to be more precise a good move by Dragontamer) put me at disadvantage right at the start of the battle but that also helped me focusing for the rest of the battle.

Ok triple checked, and this time we do have a counter. Your challenger team Grey counters the dragon gym.
Edit: and it counters steel.

edit:regarding my team countering the other leaders i literally cant make a team without countering at least one gl (I actually made the team without it countering the dragon gym leader but i thought using Gyarados would be unfair against the Ground gl considering the rest of my so I switched it to Azumarill which at least wasn't immune to ground completely forgetting it gained a second type this gen)

But it is possible to make a team that doesn't counter. That's a part of the whole strategy of the league. If you can't come up with a team that doesn't counter then you need to really rethink your team. I'm sorry but that team counters both steel and dragon so that badge can't be valid.

I meant as: out of the pokemons I have since most of them are either Dragon or Steel

I have a question would it still be a double counter if i had a mon that is resist for example to fairy but doesn't have any moves using super effective moves to the fairy would that still be a double counter so then so it would be 2 instead of 1? I just though sense resist count would that still make it double if it didn't have a se move on it...

we go by types only, not abilities or moves.
you can only have up to 3 'mons total that either resist/SE,immune. you can have 'mons that count as more than one say resist/SE but you can only have up to 3. and your team can't counter any of the three types in a triad(not all at once but pertaining to the triad your challenging)
and if you win then for that triad your team will be locked in.

what got me confused though is that for example ferrothorn may not have gyro ball but it is resist to fairy so would that still will count as one then but if it did have gyro would that count as another counter? making that 2...

It still counts as one regardless. It doesn't matter what moves it has, it all depends on its typing.

no, it wouldn't count as two. Like I said we go by types only. So regardless of its moves ferrothorn would count as 1.

But for some cases some typings are allowed if they take/give neutral damage like
Forretress steel/bug to fighting
Cradily rock/grass to grass
Kingdra water/dragon to ice (not really sure about this one)

But its still up to the gym leader if they consider it as a threat or not.
