As of gen 8, every type has been used with the introduction of Piers, the Spikemuth city gym leader in Sword and Shield.

Even though there are 51 known Gyms in the games, with 58 Gym Leaders among them, there has not yet been a Gym specializing in Dark-type Pokémon, although there have been three Elite Four members; Karen, Sidney, and Grimsley, as well as an Island Kahuna, Nanu. All the other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them.

Dark type is the only type that a Gym Leader has not specialized in.

I'm sorry. I just... had to.
Technically, the dark type has been used by gym leaders. It's just that no gym leaders specialize in dark type Pokemon.
Its because in Japan, the Dark Type is know as the Evil Type. So they don't want an Evil Gym Leader.
wow so you mean you can have an evil elite four but not a gym leader eh?
The members of the Elite 4 are supposed to be intimidating so, yeah.

Even if you only include gym battles and not stuff like rematches or Pokemon World Tournament, every type of Pokemon and every type of move has been used by at least one gym leader.

I probably missed a few Pokemon and a few moves, but you get the point.
There were way too many sources for me to list them all, but if you want me to verify a specific fact, then I can link you to the source of that fact.
