Assuming they are all using their strongest team or what you could imagine being their strongest team.


I am going to go with Brycen, Pryce, or Candice. Only for the fact ice types are so frail and countered so easily by other pokemon. If I were to go by their ingame teams as they are I would definitely pick Brycen. His gym team is so frail.

It's probably Brock, the first one, I can't think of any others.

I'll have to go with Brock personally simply because it just takes Squirtle to roll the floor with his Pokemon. When the games first came out it was hard when people didn't know, but now it's too obvious how to beta him.

All of the gym leaders from Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet. There was nothing even remotely difficult about any of the gyms in either of those games.

Even though he's not a gym leader, Ilima from Sun and Moon was a huge pushover having only a Smeargle...

Bugsy from Gold/Silver and Viola from X/Y are also both pushover that are very easy to steamroller. Unsurprisingly, they are both Bug trainers.

Wulfuric from Pokémon X and Y is the biggest joke ever. Imagine being the supposed “strongest gym leader” with Abomasnow, Cryogonal, and Avalugg…

I'll do one for each region

Kanto: Easily Erika. There are about a million fire, flying, or poison types that can ruin her day. Tangela is pathetic, she does also have two fully evolved pokemon in Victreebel and Vileplume but they don't have great moves and there are only 2 of them.

Johto: This has to be Jasmine. 2 magnemites are a joke, and Steelix may look scary but just use surf bro. It's a shame because there are plenty other cool pokemon she could have used like Forretress, Scizor, or Skarmory.

Hoenn: I mean it's just Roxanne. Her pokemon suck. I will say most other gym leaders in this region are genuinely threatening, so good job Hoenn.

Sinnoh: Byron doesn't do a lot better than Jasmine in the steel department. His ace Bastiodon can at most get one big hit with metal burst off, but his personal damage sucks.

Unova: Brycen. Ice just is not a scary type and the fact that he only has pure ice types doesn't make it any harder.

Kalos: Ramos lol, that guy is a big joke. Shoutout to Wulfric for barely dodging my nomination, it didn't take much.

Alola: N/A but if we go by Totem fights it is the Gumshoos/Raticate fight.

Galar: I won't lie I don't remember them but that grass dude dropped so fast it wasn't even funny.

Paldea: Kind of depends on the order but assuming linear progression, I'd give it to that bug chick.

I'm going to say Bugsy off the top of my head I can't remember having any issues with ever and I feel like that's a more fun answer than Wulfric or any other Gen 6, 8, or 9 Gym leader I could easily say.

Whitney I had to think about this one because I can't really recall a gym leader I "struggled" with after the age of 10, so none of them stand out to me as "particularly weak", but I think Koga from specifically Yellow is a real contender for the worst... bro has 3 Venonats and a Venomoth. Come on man at least go out and get a Koffing or something lol
