    Grass Type Gym, Gardenia was so hard to beat since I started with Piplup which is the advantage of grass types, so I'd capture other Pokemon and trained it and battle it against Gardenia's Gym. It took me a long time, though it was worth it.

  • Gardenia gave me trouble I dont like the starly line simply becasue I dont want to have the same pokemon as rival and I didnt have a chimchar. Roserade at the second gym seems a bit extrme but that said her other pokemon are lame

  • It was Ice for me. I powered level my Torterra. By the time I had the first badge, my Grotle was level 22 and by the time I received the second badge, I had a Torterra. So everything was a breeze for me.. Until I fought Candice's Froslass.. lol. I mean, I still crushed the Gym with my level 70+ Torterra, but because I toyed around with her and missed my Leaf Storm, she froze my Torterra with Blizzard.. <3 Torterra. ;)

    Well for me, on Pearl, none of the gym leaders were difficult to beat, but beating Byron at Canalave took a little more work than with the others. Also navigating through the gym took me a minute, adding to the overall difficulty I suppose.

  • I think I will have to go with the ever annoying Fighting gym. Oh how it taunts me when I forget to bring a flying type with me.

    The hardest gym to beat was probably the fighting gym, didn't really have a good team to beat them all, but for god sake, I defeated them..

    I say it was the grass one because if you pick plipup not a lot of pokemon at the beggining of the game are good against grass

  • The water gym, my team consists of what water types are strong at which makes the situation pretty hard but I manage to pass through it and got the badge.

    For me it was the steel gym. even though I had torterra and earthquake his bastiodons huge defenses kept making the damage somewhere from 1/4 to 1/3 and then it would just use rest and keep battering me anyway I finally ran out of super potions so I just soft reset and tried again. After that I realized empoleon was my option of choice so I restarted the game and proceeded to win from then on.

  • Ghost gym, hands down.

    Fantina use to always beat me no matter how hard I trained. I honestly believe that it was pure luck when I defeated her Mismagius.
