I had trouble with Wake sometimes, just because I never really have Pokemon that are very effective against his. And of course Maylene and her Lucario like to cause me pain.

Wake gave me the most trouble, mostly because I had pokes that were really water weak. (Infernape, ect.) and my pokes were under-leveled.

I'm gonna have to say Fantina. I never really had issues with Maylene, but Fantina's stupid ghosts always gave me trouble. I just never have moves that can hit Ghosts for heavy damage at that point in the game it seems.

I've always found Gardenia tough to fight. Not so much that she's hard to beat, but with useful support moves like Reflect and Sunny Day it can become quite hard. Also taking in however fat your Pokemon can be in terms with her Roserade as well, with it's immense special attack that it comes with. D:

I'm not really sure about D/P/PT possibly either Gardina, Maylene, Byron or Volkner.

I also had problems in the steel gym, I didn't keep my starter(chimchar) and I neglected to even put another firetype on my team until after I got to the battle fronteer. and will's bugs probably would've been easier to beat if I had a fire type

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
