Worst mon ever to hold a gym spot?

With gyms going away, growing nostalgic. What's the worst mon you've ever had hold a spot in a gym? Not just placed and collected 10 coins, but actually hold a spot for over 21 hours? The last day at Bonnaroo, I tore down an Instinct Blissey tower for fun and placed this Lickitung, cp 18, at the main entrance just to troll them. Surprisingly, two lvl 39 Mystics got the joke and put Lickitungs in above mine. The gym quickly built to level 10, and my mon stayed for 3 days before getting kicked. People probably thought it was a Bubblestrat spoofer job, but it started organically as a good-natured trolling.

I vaguely remember once putting a low-level Squirtle (around CP 38), that was destined to be sent to the professor, into a gym that I didn't expect to last long, and it was there for two or three days.

I used to put low-level Shellders into gyms for the tongue-wagging, but I don't remember any of them lasting a day.

Same here, once a troll Lickitung stayed in a gym for 4 or 5 days till the gym was taken down

I used to put CP 10 Magikarp on gyms I took and knew I couldn't keep. One actually lasted 3 days before he was knocked off.

Then I renamed him Jesus Nunoz and pit him back on a gym. Sadly no one else could see his name, so my joke wad wasted.

Weedle with about 20-30 cp stayed for a several days.
Just wanted to let low level players prestige it easily.

I have no mon that could beat that 20 cp weedle and get 1000 per win.
I never understand why people put mons like that in a gym. It really helps no one.
Unless getting 100 per win is your thing.

I usually drop my low level Corsola or Heracross in gyms I don't expect to hold - a 331 Corsola ended up staying for more than a day and now has a battle won as a result!

Started a new account for my little niece, we walked around for a while until she got to lvl 5.
I took down a gym so she could put her Pikachu. It stayed for a few days.

My community has 95% valor players. If I take one of their level 10 gyms down, they kick me out within minutes. Back last year, when the dittos came out, they were using one to prestige, so I tore their gym down and put a 10cp ditto in the gym.
