Wow, I thought I was the only one who thought that Maylene was tough. No matter who you have on your team, she has a pokemon with a move to counter you. Ughh.

Candice's gym was hard for me when I started with Turtwig. That 4x weakness to Ice hurts.

Candice. Not only did it take forever to figure out the gym puzzle, she's pretty dang tough too. Moreso in DP when you could only get either Infernape or Rapidash as a fire type.

The only one I really had trouble with is Maylene.
Her Pokemon were just too much for mine.

All the gyms where easy for me, except The ice gym. I had taken Turtwig as my starter, and since I had trained a starly as my secondary pokemon and the rest of my team was mainly HM slaves I was really at a loss. Eventualy I just traded in the GTS for a chimchar and trained him up and whiped her.

Yeah, fighting is the hardest for me so far.

None of the Gym Leaders defeated me in Platinum but I do remember beating Fantina with only 1 pokemon left because of her Mismagius so I guess that was the most difficult.

Managed to defeat the Rock Gym after training staravia up a few levels so it only took me two attempts overall.

Gardenia's Roserade kept owning me, after her Cherubi kept using Sunlight. Turtwig also pwned me XD She was the hardest for me, the rest of the gyms were rather easy.

For me, the hardest to beat was Volkner, the electric one. All I had with an advantage was a Gallade that knew Earthquake so no STAB+supereffective like I would normally use.

Candice, depending on your luck with her Froslass and your attacks missing because of Snow Cloak.

Fortunately, in Platinum, my team had a luxury it didn't have in Pearl. Faint Attack.

With that said, I defeated every one of the Gym Leaders on the first try... Candice was just the trickiest to take down, and that's not even going into her gym puzzle...

Gardenia was the hardest gym for me, since I started with Piplup, and I was underleveled a bit. Took me about 5 tries to win, but I managed to take her down. The other gyms were a breeze for me.

Gardenia, I guess.

She managed to kick my ass a few times even though I had a Monferno and Staravia..

I'd still go with Candice because her gym was annoying, to say the least.

For the gym puzzle I would say Candice's Gym. For the gym battle I would say Roark. Starting out with Chimchar wasn't good for me, going into that gym with only Chimchar, Staravia, and Shinx.

In DP it was always Fantina and in Platinum I always struggle with Gardenia and her Roserade unless I picked Chimchar as my starter which I rarely do.

I always struggle the most with Fantina and Candice, regardless of what starter I pick. :/ So they'd be the most difficult for me.

On my Platinum, the only gym that I had a problem with was Volkner, and it was probably because I was a little underleveled. Not to mention that I didn't have a ground move, and two of my Pokemon were weak to Electric. Took me three tries to defeat him, and the third try was only because I had my Empoleon left (his Raichu died of poison after killing my Togekiss. Thank god for Roserade and Toxic Spikes).

Hardest battle- Fantina, I spent too much time raising ground and normal types
Hardest gym maze- ... I dunno! Maybe Candice's snowball smashing maze?
Easiest gym battle- Candice and Maylene, I had a level 59 flareon and level 35 staraptor ready for those gyms- it was a piece of cake

As I recall in Platinum none were that hard at all due to me making my team more well rounded, but in Diamond I clearly remember always struggling on the Ghost gym, every time.
