A question that I'm sure many of us can relate to, which battle was easiest? Whitney in Gold, Silver & Crystal or Whitney in Heart Gold & Soul Silver.
I found that in HGSS Whitney's Miltank seemed to be much less vicious, not so much spam on the Rollout and generally easier and at a lower level.

HGSS was easier, however neither never really gave me too much trouble. I'm usually always pretty over level so it wasn't too bad haha.

HG/SS for me since I didn't play G/S/C and I was sorta overleveled when I took her on.

Wanna know how to take out Whitney's Miltank easily in any of them? Choose Cyndaquil and catch you a Mareep. You wanna have Flaaffy and Quilava both around level 24 but have 2 other Pokemon to sacrifice lol. When you send out your first Pokemon take out Clefairy and when she sends out Miltank use Growl with Flaaffy until it can't drop no more. Her stomp will be useless. Then send out Quilava and keep using Leer until it don't drop no more and then use Flame Wheel and shes gone with 1 hit. She may use Attract if both of your Pokemon are male so switch them out using Growl and Leer as your first move. That's how I beat her. I'ts time consuming but easier in the long run. So I'd have to say neither.

This wont work in GSC because leer lowers defense and Flame Wheel was special in gen 2.

Let me just put it this way: I remember and raged at Whitney's Miltank in GSC for a few battles. In HGSS, Miltank wasn't worth remembering, and I moved on pretty fast.

HG/SS was definitely the easier option for me. For some reason her Miltank just wasn't that devastating as it was in GSC. It was still hard with its deadly Rollout but somehow it wasn't as deadly. Yay for Bayleef being bulky. n__n Or maybe it's because you could trade idk

I would lie if I said, it's easier on HGSS...I mean, of course I was just a mere boy, when I fought against her Miltank on the original one and really had no strategy. Thinkin' back on it now...There are ways to stop Rollout. Like catching a Drowsee and using Disable once it start doing it.

If your level close to her Miltank, then the rollout won't be instance KO strong, till it reach it's third or fourth roll. Or also, Hypnosis with a Gastly could be helpful, sleeping will cause a reset to Rollout, once it awake.

I actually found her harder on HGSS. Scrappy was just straight BS. It's get a stab boost with Stomp and is pretty much faster than ANYTHING in your party. Flinching EVERYTHING!

And using a Drowsee or a Gastly is actually pointless...God, it was so FUXIN' cheap.
-__- I hate Whitney on bother versions HG/SS and G/S/C

Well I don't really remember much about GSC, I was really young when I played them... but I'd assume HGSS seeing as I wasn't very good at games back then.

She's only difficult for newcomers and children. I always had problems when I battled her when I was a kid. Last time I played Silver, she stood no chance. And all I did was use Croconaw's Rage. But I'd say that GSC was more difficult because the game evolved after that.

This, pretty much. I remember having such bother with it in Gold (in fact, I think it took me about a month to get past it!), but in SoulSilver I got through first time.
Still young but no longer impressionable.
