It's a tie between Clair and Norman. In the old Silver and Gold, IIRC, there were no dragon types until after you beat Clair, so I usually had to level grind significantly (or use a legendary). And Norman's Slaking is just a beast.

Seeing as this pertains to all generation Gym Leaders and not only those in HeartGold and SoulSilver, I'll just move this on over to General Pokémon Gaming.

For me though, I don't necessarily find any of the Gym Leaders to be difficult. I notice they do get harder as you progress, of course, but none in particular that is all that difficult to say. If I had to choose one, then it would probably be Clair of Johto, as Dragons can be tough to deal with at times, considering they only have two main weaknesses that not everyone trains. :\

I'd say Whitney and Norman. Though when I battled them I wasn't using fighting types, but still.

I never thought Claire was tough. I would always have a Kadabra/Alakazam with Ice Punch. Same thing for Whitney, but it would be a partly trained Geodude or Machop. Norman was pretty tough though, I'll agree to that. For me, the hardest gym leader was Misty. I always start with Charmander, and lately, i've been speed running blue, so I don't stop to get a Pikachu or train the Pidgey that I have. I have to settle for getting Charmeleon and teaching it Dig. It's definitely not very easy.

I hated the Hoenn gyms. I disliked Brawly and Wattson.

A long time ago I would have said Brock at the beginning of Yellow version was the most ridiculous gym leader I have ever had to face.

Whitney or Wattson for me. Whitney for spamming rollout of course, and Wattson because I never had anything effective against steel-types. (I hate Torchic. :D)

I don't much like Hoenn Electrics other than Lanturn and Raichu.
Her spamming of Double Team is frustrating. Mostly the Pelipper and Altaria that annoy me.

Wild Pelipper are more annoying than hers. Protect.

Whitney. Milk Drink and Rollout were driving me nuts, along with attract, that made it the battle a whole lot harder :/

Whitney an her stupid Miltank, I remember the first time I ever fought her, It took me 3 tries to beat her! I've never had that much trouble with any other Gym leader except going against Wattson with a Grovyle and Swellow. So either of those two.

Sapphire was my first pokemon game and Brawly almost made me break my game boy until my friend told me about fighting being weak to flying so I wised up and got a tailow.

Double Kick Nidorans FTW.

Whitney and Brawly were the most difficult for me. I remember having some trouble with Gardenis in Platinum, until I got my epic Golbat. :3

That also works but Butterfree is great aswell...

for Whitney the tactic is to use X Atk or SpAtk, X Def, and X Speed while fighting the weak Clefairy...then your Pokemon is strong enough to kill Miltank...I used the Flaffy and paralyzed the Miltank twice (Berry un-paralyzes) maybe Parafusion if you can pull it off...Rollout almost never works in rows so its much weaker.

For Brawly just use a flying type and your starter...he was rather easy I never had a problem with him...

X Sp Def and X Atk with a Ground type

X Sp Def and X Spd and X Atk is best but X Sp Atk works too, beat them fast and attack one Pokemon at a time.

Personally, I've always had the most trouble with Tate & Liza, Norman, and Whitney.

Whitney's stupid Miltank pwns me every time. DX
