Normally basic NPC trainers, people like Youngsters, Lasses and so forth who have no actual role or bearing on the plot, are fairly easy and generally give no trouble whatsoever. Though sometimes there's that one exception.
I've played RBY since forever, so I usually have no problem with its trainers. While I was playing Red from the Virtual Console, this one biker did. I encountered a biker while biking down cycling road. He sends out a Muk, so my first decision is to switch out for my Dugtrio to make fast work out of it. As I switch out for Dugtrio and prepare to use Dig, the biker's Muk uses Minimize, so my attack misses. He uses Minimize again so my attacks just miss it again.
To make matters worse, his Muk uses Sludge and manages to poison me. My attacks were repeatedly missing his Muk, even when I tried using Slash. My Dugtrio, who was ten levels higher and would have normally crushed it, ultimately fainted from the poisoning. More of an annoyance than anything.
Aside from that, another that comes to mind is the Jr. Trainer who hangs in Pewter City's gym, but that's generally because I go in while I'm still underleveled. I swear the kid would make a better gym leader than Brock any day.
