In the matter that Din's condition is so critical, a simple de-buff of it's special attack wouldn't do much to the outcome.

It doesn't matter in regards to Din, but a Gym Leader would take into account that the challenger still had one Moemon left, thus they wouldn't be so careless with how often they use a move like Leaf Storm. Especially since all of Shaymin's attacks were Special.

As shown with the last attack with Jaina, Yuzuki is solely underestimating her opponent, and she was careless because she was having fun. Gym leader or not, she can make mistakes.
This also reflects on how i made Yuzuki in my original story (And the reason i made her be the gym leader). Yuzuki lost multiple times to Kazuo for her lack of experience and (as the kids say) winging it. In the old version of this fight it was just jaina winning with no context.

Lastly, i wanted to make these gym battles with this in mind "Legendary pokemon don't equal an auto win." The factor is the trainers skill in fighting one. AND the competence of the trainer with the legendary. In this case it's the latter.

Oh. So it's like playing competitively online. People think that just because they've hacked in Legendary Pokemon with Perfect stats that they'll win. I hate people like that.

Each gym battle expresses a different type of trainer, and what the main characters has to do/or inadvertently does to win.

Gym 1: Yoco (Good to competent trainer), "Persevering through imposable odds."
Gym 2:  Yuzuki (Inexperienced to Overconfident trainer), "Using the element or surprise to your advantage."
And the list goes on 
Gyms 3-8 will have its own meaning of winning/ and gym leader that has different variants of skill.
Not to mention there is something about the gyms that gets explained once we get to gym 7. Soo just keep that in mind I guess if you're questioning the Gym leaders skill levels.
