Hardest Gym Leader in your opinion?

[JoshMck]

Alright, so I was wondering based on your guys teams and struggles, whom was the hardest gym leader for you to defeat? AND, who was the easiest gym leader for you guys?

I think my hardest gym leader was between Shelly, and Luna. Shelly would've been so much more easy if it was just a single battle, but it wasn't so I lost many many times. Used the Ability capsule on Feraligatr to get a Sheer Force Ice Fang. AND, Luna because her team was just POWER. I got stuck on Luna for a long time, and eventually came back to the game and beat her on my first shot like it was nothing. I have no idea how that happened.

Easiest gym leader, I would say was either Radomus or Ciel. Radomus got swept because majority of my Pokemon had dark type moves. And, Ciel got annihilated by my Cosmic Power/Charge Beam/Psychic Lunatone.

I think Florina and Shelly were the hardest for me and I started with Cyndaquil ..... All I had was ember (40 BP) and no TM's to teach him vs walls like Cradily and Anorith. I don't remember my team very well at the time, but I remember having to resort to cheap tactics like lucky burns and smokescreen.

As for easiest Gym Leaders, they would probably be Noel and Shade. Shade did no damage to my team and Noel just loses to Lava Plume. Sorry if I couldn't be descriptive enough.

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

Hardest ones for me were Florinia and Serra.

Easiest were Shelly, Luna, and Samson.

[Fumble]

Shelly and Radomus (oh and Kiki I forgot about her) for easiest, Charlotte for hardest.

[FairFamily]

Easiest Samson, hardest Charlotte.

[Palpatine]

Hardest for me is definatley Aya, she was the hardest on all of my playthroughs...
Like it's not even funny

And for the easiest well i guess Luna and Shelly

[DerogatoryTrainer]

Charlotte easiest.

Radomus hardest.

I had a lot of trouble with Aya, but my hardest gym battles were actually Shelly and Ciel. Easiest would be Radomus.

[Sr.F]

Have I ever said that cost me 4 whole days for defeat Charlotte?

And easiest Gym Leader for me was Kiki. Simipour with Acrobatics was broken in that battle

[Might Gai]

Charlotte easiest.

Radomus hardest.

I WILL NOT BELIEVE UNTILL I SEE IT MYSELF

i mean radomus was a pushover for me, but charlotte pulled a witney

Edit: luna was the easiest, moxie heracross says hi

[Amanojaku]

Shelly hardest, Terra easiest.

[Honchy]

Charlotte, because I was underprepared, and it took 5 futurama episodes to defeat her

[JoshMck]

Hehe, thank you for great replies. Also, I've noticed if someone struggles with Radomus they don't think Charlotte is too hard. But, if they struggle with Charlotte then Radomus ends up being easy. I wonder why that is. I personally didn't struggle with Charlotte, and Radomus was a breeze.

[Raviel the Phantom]

Aya was definitely the hardest for me. The field made my ground type Pokemon useless and I had no psychic types, so her team was untouched with weakness. I had to reset a dozen times and got lucky when her Dragalage got paralyzed.

[Strider]

Had trouble with charlotte and radomus. easiest was kiki

[Govictory]

Hardest for me was Ciel, all i got to say is that Mega Altaria is cancer. Easiest was Serra, setting up 6 bulk ups on my blazieken with speed boost then mashing blaze kick till i won was easy

[Tartar]

Huh, I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I had such a hard time fighting Corey because of his poison field. I had to specifically train and Noctowl to be able to take him down.

[Cobalt996]

~~Hardest is Hardy; it's in his name~~

Corey gave some pause, but otherwise each fight was more or less a curbstomp.

Second time through was even worse with a Fire-mono, since Arcanine + Volcarona + Flareon is enough for basically everything.

tbh, the Team Meteor sections were harder. Too many Rock-types

EDIT: tfw ~~ isn't strikethrough

i guess depends on the team that u form.

my team is generally seen in my signature, but take out dragalge and galvantula and add swanna and linoone instead.

and it was like this kinda:

Julia, easy i guess, i don't remember anything.

Florinia, kinda easy, Linoone with field-boosted super-effective Pin Missile was MVP

Corey easy, i dont remember the battle

Shelly, i set the field on fire...

Shade was hard. His gengar lead was hitting very hard and field-boosted thunderbolt was preventing my slow Pangoro to do its job. I had to stall it until it depleted his PP so that i can sweep with Pangoro. (I just don't like scrafty)

Kiki, too easy, Swanna with Keen Eye was immune to field-accuracy drops and was hitting super-effectively

Aya kinda easy, too bad for her wasteland field does not weaken Dig

Serra easy. Butterfree had finally learned Quiver Dance...
Noel was problematic for me solely because his Flame Orb Swellow was outspeeding and hitting everything too hard, while i had no counter for it. That, and i also didnt have a move to set the field on fire.

Radomus very easy for some reason, even though he had strong mons

Luna ... Earthquake to turn the field into a cave ---> Quiver Dance ---> Echo.. echo .. echo ..... . ..

Samson, i think i struggled some. My Swanna had become very weak cuz bad IVs and nature, and EVs all over the place.

Charlotte was the hardest for me, i had no water type, Sandslash was not resisting fire, so he could not set up Swords Dance + Sandstorm and still be alive. Until i somehow managed it. I think i used some revives..

Terra was swept by Victreebel...

Ciel was hard. Archeops Noivern and Gliscor were a nightmare...

TL;DR

Easiest something between Luna and Radomus,

Hardest Charlotte...

Still, the only leaders beaten at 1st try were Kiki and Radomus. So my "easy" and "hard" are through my own point of view.

If it was a nuzlocke it would probably end at florinia.

[Zargerth]

Corey and Aya have been at the very least among the more harder battles in each of my playthroughs. Florinia or Luna, on the other hand, are quite easy, by the time you battle either one you can find 'mons that counter them effectively.

[Magikarp Merchant]

Ciel was the hardest due to hax, but Shade took me a few tries to scout out what he had up his sleeves before I could approach his team like solving a puzzle.

I think the easiest for me was Charlotte since the details of the battle were the least memorable for me and I managed it on the first try while half asleep.

[Hycrox]

The hardest leaders for me were Kiki and Charlotte. Kiki due to her pokemon being all pretty bulky and outspeeding and beating 1 on 1 most of my pokemon, and Charlotte was just broken due to that field and generally speedier pokemon (still won with LORD HELIX THE ALMIGHTY). The easiest were Terra and Ciel. Terra because the AI is dumb and Air Baloon Metagross killed most of her pokemon, and Ciel was actually fairly easy thanks to Metagross.

While I'm not that far into Reborn (I'm currently training up for Radomus), out of the leaders I have fought, I'd honestly say Julia and Florinia were the hardest for me, while Aya and Noel were the easiest. I started with Piplup in my run, plus my team wasn't that great at the beginning of the game. Aya I got through with only half my team falling, and Noel I think only 2 of my Pokemon fainted. If this was a Nuzlocke run it'd be long over.

[Foamy]

I think pre-nerf Charlotte gave me the most trouble.

[Timber Dragon]

Noel was the easiest for me because of how much I cheesed him. I had so many bad experiences with him in previous episodes that when it came time to face him, I was like, nope. Blaziken + 4 or 5 Bulk Ups = wreck everything. It was total overkill and the only fight where I ever used such a 'strategy,' but I did NOT want to take any chances with that guy.

The hardest for me was probably Ciel. I just so happened to have an Eelektross, Ampharos, and Walrein to do most of the work, but her Altaria was an utter nightmare. I had to grind up my Espeon to Moonblast it, and that was only after my Donphan with Sturdy used Earthquake to do some preliminary damage. Her opening lead with Togekiss was also frustrating due to how you're almost guaranteed to get flinched.

But that's only in the current episode. In previous episodes, the hardest were always what I called the 'Big Three': Florinia, Aya, and Noel. They were always huge stall points for me. But after some nerfs and me getting a bit better at Pokeymanz (or in Noel's case, being totally cheap in Pokeymanz), they're much more manageable.
