3rd Gen Hardest RSE Gym Leader

The hardest one for me was Norman. I used Hariyama and I still got my rear end handed to me over and over....

and when I finally beat him, It was like...BORDERLINE....

I saved as soon as I got control of everything again....
 
Had trouble with Norman and the twins the others weren't all that bad.
 
Normally the hardest Gym Leader would be Brawly, but on my first attempt in Emerald it took many, many tries to beat Tate & Liza.

Brawly's Makuhita is a pain, but I gain experience from the others, so it gets easier the more I battle Brawly. I had a type disadvantage with the twins, so that's why I struggled with them; later battles were with Pokemon whose types had the upper hand.

So it's generally Brawly/
 
Norman's Slaking was really annoying and Wallace (YES, WALLACE) was a jerk.
 
All in the Slaking...

Juan gave me minimal issues. Usually.
I have Endeavor on Swellow always (and Quick Attack). Sometimes on Swampert. So STAB Aerial Ace from Swellow or just a good old fashined Shadow Ball from Absol/Banette solved my later Juan problems.
 
I had a hard time with Norman... it's like they made him hard because he's the player's father in the game. o_o I never thought that normal type pokemon could be such a pain...
 
Slaking Facade makes me really, really angry.

Juan was trying to confuse me all the time with Water Pulse, but then I Sunnybeamed everything and won. -_-
 
It was always either Juan or Wallace that urks me so. I was always at a type disadvantage for some reason (Blaziken, Torkoal, Golem, and a whimpy Linoon)
 
The first time I played Emerald, Norman, Wattson and the Psychic Twins o' Mossdeep kicked my butt from one end of the game to the other. The second time around, I had Combusken, Lairon and Mightyena, and they didn't stand a chance. And I had a Raichu on my team to help against Wallace during the E4. :>

The Psychic Twins are still the most annoying to me, though. :x I hate Claydols now. XD
 
Wattson definetely takes this cake, I can't describe how much I hate battling him.
Norman is actually not that hard, a Pokemon with Dig or Protect can easily beat his Slakings, end the Vigoroth is not that strong.
The twins... In RS they're a joke, while they're quite challenging in Emerald. But 3 of their 4 Pokemon are weak to Water, which means Surf, so where's the problem?
 
Norman always gave me trouble, even with a Combusken. Then again, I'm usually extremely underleveled for that fight. Freaking Slaking.

Wattson never gave me trouble because I always had a Combusken. Fire types win over Steel. Haha.
 
Winona sucked because my Manetric was underleveled, I chose Treecko as my starter, and everything else was slower than her stuff. Her Altaria was especially annoying.
 
They were all pretty easy, IMO. Winona took me the longest to beat, however. ^_^;
