    I found Iris to be the hardest...took me three tries but in the third try she feel easily like the rest of the gym leaders before her ^_^

    Hmmm. I'll have to go with Drayden/Isis. I always seemed to have a Pokemon that could deal with the other Gym Leaders.

    I think my hardest challenge in the game was one of the later fights against Bianca. I don't know if I was just having an off day, but she nearly annihilated me.

    To be honest, I really had a hard time dealing with the Nacrene's Gym Leader.. Kinda forget her name but she uses normal-types. That Retaliate and Take Down is a pain in the ass

    Iris. I almost LOST to her, man!
    I was soooooooooo damn scared!
    I never lost in PKMN games in my whole life!

    Luckily, with Samurott left, I was able to spam her

    Totally Lenora. Retaliate = PURE EVIL.
    Elesa was the easiest for me. It's so easy, just keep using your strongest move(s) and she'll be gone before you know it.

    I don't think any of them were that hard, the hardest for me would have probably been Skyla and Burgh though. I lost to both once, so yeah XD But I didn't think the crazys were hard at all.

    lol this April fools stuff makes my post sound like nonsense.

    The Nacrene leader took the longest time to beat, but she was still easy for me. All I had to do was stall with Roggenrolla. I didn't have much trouble with the other leaders at all, but I did with Ghetsis. Dear lord, Ghetsis! His stupid Hydreigon practically swept through my team like a knife through butter!

    I'm totally going with Clay here. His Excadrill's Bulldoze was an instant-KO for everything I had except for my in-training Ducklett, which got OHKO'd by a Rock Slide instead. >:[

    Lenora. She is the only gym leader I lost to, and that was due to her damn Watchog's Hypnosis and my lack of status-restoring items.

    I have yet to beat the 8th Gym Leader but I don't expect them to be much of a challenge considering they'll only be using dragon-type Pokémon. The toughest battle with a Gym Leader I've had in Pokémon Black has got to be Lenora. Her Watchog spammed Hypnosis and was on the verge of raping my team before I finally decided to use Full Heals to wake up instead of just waiting it out like I normally do. The rest of the Gym Leaders were pretty standard; nothing too difficult, especially in Skyla's case.
