I'd say Whitney, partly because I found her Miltank far more difficult to dispose of than Jasmine's Steelix. Although, if you managed to obtain a Machop and trained it properly, both Whitney and Jasmine would be a walk in the park.

Jasmine was usually a challenge, though she wasn't as move abusing and spamming as Whitney. I mean, Jasmine wasn't super hard as long as you had a decent Fire, Ground or Fighting type Pokémon, though Whitney on the other hand was tough as a nail unless you had a Pokémon with Fighting type moves or if your Pokémon high-leveled, female and had some strong moves, because Clefairy spamming Attract as well as her Miltank spamming you with Stomp making you flinch all the time and healing itself with Milk Drink were both just really hard to beat.

So I'd definitely say Whitney, just because I've always had a much harder time beating her than Jasmine.

I never really found either of them to be that challenging, whether through pokemon choice or moves, I dunno. But really, I'd have to say Whitney and her Miltank.

It was tough to choose, but you can easily lower Miltank's stats without suffering too much but as for Steelix, everyone fainted except my Feraligatr!

Whitney made me break by gameboy, but Jasmine wasn't that hard since I always had my Poliwrath!

Well Jasmine is always over leveled for me but Whitney is way harder in comparison even when you're not at a lower level that her main Pokemon, especially with the Miltank's moveset :<

In my case, Whitney's Miltank. I always had difficulties with it everytime I face it. I never had any issues with Jasmine's Steelix or any of her Pokemon whatsoever.

Jasmine's type has distinct weaknesses one will have access to by the time she is fought. I'm not necessarily referring to Fire and Ground; consider also Steelix's weakness to Water, monsters of which type one can find in abundance near Olivine... obviously use something else for the Magnemites, or Quagsire.

With Whitney, as I've said elsewhere I find using an Onix to be the best idea, but the utility of her team presents a challenge whatever one does.

It was miltank. That was only the third gym, and by that point you're really not very well equipped for a battle against a high HP/DEF Pokemon like that. Not to mention I HATE infatuation. I use Chikorita and do just fine against Steelix.

Although I never really found any battle hard, Whitney would be a lot harder. Once, someone said, "You didn't get ANYTHING Super Effective against her!". Which is why Jasmine is much easier. Also, Steelix wasn't hard, because both Water and Fire-Types were Super Effective against it, and you could get a wide range of those through battles. Whitney was a Normal-Type Specialist, and there is ONE way you can get through her easily. Training only your starter in battles.

Whitney is my choice. Since almost every time I replay pokemon gold/silver Whitney manages to beat me at least once with milktank alone. The first time I beat her on my first time was when I evolved my wooper into a quacksire then I could beat her with little problem. Jasmine on the other hand I was easily able to beat with a chikorita as a starter.

Whitney, Whitney, a thousand times Whitney.

Jasmine is just.. not a threat, since by that stage you'll probably have your starter in it's final form, and a few other things that could take down Steelix. The Magnemite aren't a real threat anyway, IMO.

Whitney on the other hand, was a nightmare when I was a kid. She was at a point in the game JUST when you were getting quite comfortable with your team, with a good ol' starter to kick anything's ass. This is how I felt when I first challenged her, then Quilava's moves didn't do all that much.
Then of course, Rollout happened. It's just.. too good. Milk Drink and Rollout made it a force to be reckoned with, whereas Whitney's Steelix was usually a OHKO job.

Whitney for sure. By the time you face Jasmine you've had time to train a crapton and you have a lot more options for Pokemon who can deal heavy damage (Ground-types, Fire-types).

Whitney and her Rollout Miltank is just... ugh, on the other hand.

It's... kinda effective?

Whitney's Steelix was usually a OHKO job.

Whitney has a Steelix?

In G/S it was Whitney. 90% of the time, I'd win with just one pokemon left, and usually he's in the red. In HG/SS, poor girl, she got nerfed down to nothing. Her Miltank in that game is a minor annoyance, small threat at most. In HG Bugsy was the pain in the ass to beat.

Tbch, I didn't really find either that hard :x I don't get the whole deal with Whitney's Miltank being so hard, but that's probably because I tend to train Pokémon that are good against it and that Rollout doesn't hurt much haha. Although in saying that, I didn't find Steelix hard for the same reason. So I'm gonna go with Jasmine, but that's based on her whole team rather than just Steelix since that Pokémon was usually just OHKO'ed :3
