After the whole suspicion is over, it is time to take on all of Galar's Gym Leaders in the Finals Tournament, but a surprise someone has interfered, it is Bede, who had been used by Oleana in collecting the Wishing Stars, only to get disowned by the chariman, and after being taken in by Opal, Bede goes from a Psychic-type specialist to a Fairy-type specialist, we'll see how that changes in his battle style.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

All of the Gym Leaders have gathered at Wyndon Stadium, except for Opal, this does remind me of the ceremony back at Motostoke, where all the Gym Leaders gathered, and Piers was the only one that never showed up at the ceremony.
Before the first match could begin, Bede appears, and he has changed from a Psychic-type user to a Fairy-type user after being taken in by Opal to be the next successor to Ballonlea Gym. Now onto his team.
Mawile: Play Rough, Iron Head, Crunch
Gardevoir: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic, Calm Mind, Wish
Rapidash: Psycho Cut, Take Down, Dazzling Gleam, Quick Attack
Hatterene: Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, Mystical Fire

Even though Bede is now a Fairy-type specialist, three of his Pokémon are Psychic-type, and you will need a Fire-type to take out Mawile. If you have a good Steel-type, you should be able to have an easy time, otherwise his Gardevoir can set up Calm Mind and deal massive damage, while his Galarian Rapidash has Psycho Cut and Dazzling Gleam to get in some damage. Bede will Gigantamax his Hatterene, so his Hattrem must have evolved since the last battle, and it's unfortunate you don't get to see him use Reuniclus or Gothitelle. When Gigantamaxed, Hatterene's Fairy-type moves become G-Max Smite, which confuses targets, this is a tough foe.
After the surprise interruption, it is time to take on the Gym Leaders, first up is Nessa, here is her team.
Golisopod: First Impression, Liquidation, Swords Dance, Shadow Claw
Pelipper: Roost, Air Slash, Water Pulse, Tailwind
Barraskewda: Liquidation, Throat Chop, Ice Fang, Drill Run
Seaking: Smart Strike, Megahorn, Aqua Ring, Waterfall
Drednaw: Liquidation, Jaw Lock, Rock Tomb, Crunch

I do like the music that plays when fighting the Gym Leaders in the Tournament, and this can be a tough fight, as Golisopod can deal massive damage with First Impression, and if she sends out Pelipper right away, this can be dangerous, as Barraskewda has Swift Swim, and it is devastating in the rain. This time, Nessa will Gigantamax her Drednaw, and its Water-type moves become G-Max Stonesurge, which scatters sharp rocks, so it basically just sets up Stealth Rock with that move.
After Nessa is either Bea or Allister depending on your version, I will start with Bea.
Hawlucha: Flying Press, High Jump Kick, Bounce
Grapploct: Octolock, Submission, Bind, Mega Punch
Sirfetch'd: Leaf Blade, Slam, Brick Break, Brutal Swing
Falinks: No Retreat, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Rock Tomb
Machamp: Cross Chop, Revenge, Fire Punch, Strength

All of Bea's Pokémon can easily be defeated with a Psychic or Fairy-type, because other than Hawlucha, the rest of her team don't have a secondary type, otherwise you are in for a rough time, her Falinks can be dangerous if you let it use No Retreat, as well as Bulk Up. Bea will Gigantmax her Machamp, and its G-Max Chi Strike is devastating.
In Shield, you will fight Allister instead, and you will see Melony instead of Gordie, now to go over Allister's team.
Dusknoir: Shadow Punch, Thunder Punch, Rock Tomb, Disable
Chandelure: Shadow Ball, Mystical Fire, Will-O-Wisp
Cursola: Hex, Strength Sap, Ancient Power, Amnesia
Polteageist: Shadow Ball, Protect, Nasty Plot, Giga Drain
Gengar: Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Dark Pulse, Hypnosis

Allister has some really good Ghost-types, his Dusknoir can be tough to take down without good Dark or Ghost-types, and if Polteageist sets up a Nasty Plot and survives a Physical hit, its Weak Armor will activate, and Polteageist can sweep unprepared teams. Allister will Gigantamax his Gengar, and G-Max Terror prevents you from switching out, and its Max Ooze will give Gengar a Special Attack boost, so this is a very tough opponent.
For the final battle, it would be against Raihan, and he has changed his strategy around, here is his team.
Torkoal: Lava Plume, Body Press, Solar Beam, Yawn
Goodra: Rain Dance, Surf, Thunder, Muddy Water
Turtonator: Sunny Day, Dragon Pulse, Shell Trap, Fire Blast
Flygon: Sandstorm, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Crunch
Duraludon: Dragon Claw, Body Press, Stone Edge, Iron Head

Instead of just being a Sandstorm team, Raihan can use different weather, his Torkoal has Drought, which also benefits his Turtonator, while his Goodra has Rain Dance. He will Gigantamax his Duraludon, and its G-Max Depletion is a tough move to deal with. It is fitting that Raihan would be the final opponent before Leon, and you don't get different opponents, they are set.
