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.

Fantina used to kill me back in Diamond and Pearl but in Platinum I always seem to have a hard time with Volkner and his Electivire.

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.

Well all gyms are pretty easy to beat but if you start with Chimchar and didn't had any other Pokemon, you'd have trouble with first gym leader.

It's nothing like unbeatable but it's going to take some time.

Screw the GYMs, the LEAGUE is the hardest challenge, all of them... With the right luck for their POKE'MON and trust me they have ****ing luck. (They'll Critical you... A LOT!) any of the four, including puny AARON will pwn you, silly.

In Diamond it was for sure Gardenia, since I was a noob, I chose Piplup & I didn't know there were some ponyta in field next to the town, it took like 13 times to beat her. I literally had a mental breakdown by the 7th time.

As for Platinum, I'm still playing, but I think the water one will be really hard for me, since nobody on my team so far is good against water.

The only two gyms I lost at least once were Maylene's, Fantina's and Candice's. It seems like they're a problem to us all.
Of the two, Maylene's is harder because of Lucario. He will defeat every single pokémon you put there, in a manner as dramatic as of Cynthia's Garchomp. These two pokémon have smashing movesets... >=D

I didn't really have that many problems at any gyms, except at Sunyshore, because my pokemon were only a few levels above his.

I had a huge problem with the fighting gym puzzle though. Most frustrating gym puzzle out of every generation that I've played.

One of the elite four people (I think the fire guy) was kinda hard. Well its because my highlest level and main fighter was a grass type (my starter)

I chose Chimchar on Diamond, and the first gym was a chore.

Probably grass as I chose Empoleon. None of them where that hard though.

Mine was definitely the water gym. Gyarados just isn't a good match up for me.

Probably the Sunyshore Gym. My Graveler couldn't do anything because all of his Pokemon knew some kind of Steel attack. I ended up beating him with my Luxray...:pokeball:

I found the ice-type gym to be slightly tougher than the rest of them, but all of the gym battles were relatively easy providing you were prepared.

Byron was rock hard. His bronzer was easy but then came Steelix :disappoin and then Bastiodon :disappoin:disappoin.

Volkner. I didn't have any Ground type moves so it was hard to get an advantage at anything (Platinum).

For me, it was Candice's Ice-type Gym. I never had a Fighting-type, or a Fire-type to deal with her, so she just used to destroy my team unless I got lucky. Once I actually taught my Staraptor Close Combat, though, it got a bit easier.

I agree with Rooke, Candice is so hard to beat if you don't have a Fighting or Fire type (especially Infernape) the hail can cause problems and it's even worse in Platinum cos of Froslass's ability (though I never challenged it in Pt yet I saw a video by Marriland and disovered it was very hard)

I think it would have been better to put the gym leaders name but thats just me.

Anyways.

Mines was the last gym leader due to his Electrical moves >_<"
