I saw a post about who was the hardest gym leader so i thought that a thread about who was the easiest will be good too.
For me, Erika was the easiest. I just had to battle with either Charizard or Pidgeot and there was no losing possible. It was so easy! Now what about you guys?

I would say Blaine. Because by the time you get to him, you already got a water Pokemon and your Pokemon are high leveled so even if it's a grass type, you wouldn't have trouble beating him.

As long as you have a moderately trained Bulbasaur or Squirtle, Brock is incredibly easy to get by, since you've got the type advantage over relatively low-leveled Pokemon. I've always found Blaine easy, too, but I'd still have to say it was much easier to get by Brock.

Brock was always the ultimate pushover. I always picked Squirtle to start and always trained a Caterpi into a Butterfree. So, it was way too easy.

Brock, regardless of whatever starter you choose, you will stomp him in ease.

Well, unless you're playing Yellow.

Brock is easiest to beat, whichever Starter you choose, Bulbasaur with Vine Whip, Squirtle with Bubble, and Charmander with METAL CLAW! And he has only 2 Pokémon. =/

If I started out with Squirtle, Brock tends to be the easiest because of the type advantage, but he's pretty easy no matter which starter I choose (thanks to charmander learning metal claw), but if I choose charmander Erika becomes a cakewalk.

I can't even vote because I've beaten them so many times that I don't have an issue with them anymore.

The one time though I battled Blaine with Arcanine at level 38 and all Blaine did was use fire moves, so Arcanine got stronger every turn...took out Blaine with an Arcanine at level 38, no damage. Easiest battle ever I guess.

Personally, I think Brock. He's easy if you picked Bulbasaur or Squirtle but even if you choose Charmander you can catch Mankey nearby whose Fighting-type attacks also do the job well.

Erikas the easiest for me since I chose Charmander. But if you choose Squirtle or Bulbasaur then probably Brock or Giovanni are the easiest. Misty is also pretty easy for Bulbasaur-choosers. Squirtles kill Blaine and Charmanders burn Koga. Lt. Surge is dangerous generally but especially to Squirtle-ppls. Honestly its all about whatever starter you choose and the type of pokemon you train. However, leaders like Sabrina are pretty well-rounded I guess..
