    The gym leaders in DPP weren't too much of a problem; Gardenia was slightly tougher because I had only a Prinplup and a Misdreavus, but she was still easy to beat since my pokemon were of a higher level at the time.

    I found Lucian and Cynthia to be difficult. Lucian because of his Bronzong refusing to die and the rest of my team was already crippled by his previous pokemon. Cynthia was just difficult all-around.

    My hardest was E4 was bertha because the only good pokemon I had were infernape, Luxray,and Garchomp, I totally forgot Wishcash could use ice beam so Garchomp was out at the start of the batte! I beat the 1st and 2nd gym leaders with super potions,but after I got Gible, I could wipe through any gym leader,because of my types, fire/fighting,electric/----,and dragon/ground! I thought that Platinum would be harder than Diamond,but it was the complete opposite!

    I had the most trouble gym wise with fantina

    As for the E4
    It's a tie between Aaron and Cynthia

    Cynthia is just all around tough

    Aaron's Yanmega is just unfair...

    For me it was Lucian, just destroyed my team over and over again. All my pokes were weak against him too, and now going back to beat the E4 a second time, I can't even beat him.

    Eh, all of the gyms were pretty easy excluding Crasher Wake. It was sorta hard taking on his Water-Types with my Monferno, but Luxio made sure justice prevailed.

    As for the Elite Four, Cynthia was definitely the toughest. Lost to her a lot of times.

    One word: Cynthia.

    Her Garchomp was a nightmare. DX It killed 3 of my Pokemon before I could even touch it. And Togekiss was plain annoying. It was also the first time I had ever heard/seen of Togekiss, so I was like "wtf is that!? It looks like a plane!" and was unprepared for its Aura Sphere. x.x

    Everything was a good challenge due to me always running from battles and getting to the checkpoints underleveled. I was somehow able to get through everything fine. I guess the biggest challenge would have been Wake. His Floatzel wiped half my team alone. The other Pokemon were pushovers, however. Bertha's Gliscor wiped me the first time I fought her, but never again since.

    The easiest for me must have been Maylene and Cynthia.
    Maylene just fell to my ol' buddy Bronzong, with added help from Infernape.
    Cynthia's Pokemon really took a beating from Weavile, which knocked out 5 of her Pokemon right off the bat.
    The only one left was Milotic, which eventually beat Weavile with Surf, but was too battered to withstand a Discharge from Magnezone.

    I'm not sure if he still has it, but I always found Lucian's Bronzong a pain to bring down. Magmortar should make it a tonne easier.

    It's not really a Gym Leader, but Cyrus' 2nd team was a challenge. I didn't have anything to reliably take out Gyarados, as he was a few levels above me at the time, so Magmortar was to slow to TBolt it. Toxistalling ftw.

    Wake was hard for me all i had was torterra Loppuny and gabite. well as you can tell the gyarados gave me the hardest time and then the floatzel would finish me off it took me 4 times to beat him

    Then Cynthia was kind of hard but i didnt lose to her i just had to use a lot of Hyper Potions and Revives. that togekiss is a pain in the neck...
