First Gym Is easy enough , Take out the first pokémon (Lillipup) With your starter , and take out your opposite (Let's say Fire Since I chose snivy) with the Monkey ^^'
 
All of the gym leaders were unbelievably easy after Lenora... but to say the easiest, I have to say skyla, most of my pokemon were at least 15 levels overlevelled to her lowest pokemon I think >.>
 
I really wanted to say Clay, having panpour and snivy(I don't really let my starter evolve until its learned all its moves) but rock slide took them both. i should went to the poke center instead of challenging the gym without healing, but I still came out on top with chikorita, cyndaquil, zoura and mew. Iris was very easy for my. I barely remember are battle.
 
Once I hit Elesa, all the gym leaders were easy-peesy. I think that the Striaton leader was easy, too... wait, doesn't that mean the only hard one was Lenora?

Yep. Sounds right. Stupid Hypnosis.
 
Just putting out a note that I added a poll feature for this thread, so as well posting which one(s) may have been the easiest for you, you can input it for the poll too. :)

As for myself, all the Gym Leaders were pretty easy. I tend to reach ahead of their levels though, so I don't expect much of a challenge when I do so. Each Pokémon in my team have a different typing and a variety of moves to keep them running against most other types, so that's a main reason as to why too. Though if I had to say any it'd probably have to be Cilan (since it was him I went up against; from picking Oshawott as my starter), for both the reasons of him being the first Gym Leader in Unova and myself having a type advantage when I had went with Pansear for a short while.
 
Drayden was the easiest Gym Leader. Seriously. OHKOing his Fraxure, Druddigon and Haxorus with Archeops' Acrobatics, my Fraxure's Dragon Claw and Samurott's Blizzard respectively without giving him a chance to attack made the battle a breeze.
 
Cress was easy for me. The only pokemon I had to use was my Tepig. Funny.
 
Galvantula on skyla's pokes = OHKO without giving them any chance to do anything whatsoever. Skyla certainly didn't feel like a gym leader...
 
It must have been my starter type and other stuff, but I found Clay not much of a challenge, even with his Excadrill. Then again, I did bring Samurott this time around. Super effective FTW!
 
Having a Super Overpowered Emboar, I'd say either Burgh or Brycen. No problems whatsoever. xD Skyla was hard for me since I never bothered working with anything other than my Pignite (I never even CAUGHT a Blitzle), but simple enough. Elesa was by far the hardest for me. I didn't have ANY Rock-Type attacks for her Emolgas and Ground-Type was out of the question. Anything other than her and Lenora (even though I had Pignight with Arm Thrust by then, I still couldn't OHKO her NORMAL-Types) were a joke.
 
Cilan was rather easy with the help of the elemental monkey you get at the Dreamyard.
The hardest was Drayden.
 
Triple Trouble(who I forgot to vote on),Lenora, Burgh and Skyla were just to easy.
