On the difficulty front, Olympia is the only Gym Leader whose Pokemon all have four moves; Wulfric and Valerie have a Pokemon with only 3 moves; Viola, Korrina and Clemont's Pokemon all have 3 moves; only one of Ramos's has four moves, and it isn't his main player; Grant's Tyrunt has 3 moves. Korrina fights you with two Lucario earlier on, and they both have 4 moves, though they apparently have the same moveset. Also, none of the Gym Leaders have Pokemon with items during Gym Battles.
For Pokemon Z/Gen VI.5/whatever, I'd like to see their Pokemon gain some good moves and items. Glancing at the movesets we have on the GL's Pokemon, here are some suggestions. (Keep in mind I'm reading what their movesets & abilities from Bulbapedia.)

- Ramos's Gogoat's only Grass move is Grass Knot. Give it Horn Leech early, or Seed Bomb.
- Ramos's Jumpluff should get Sleep Powder or Synthesis. Considering how fast Jumpluff is, Synthesis would probably be less annoying.
- Korrina's Hawlucha has Unburden. It could hold a Flying Gem and have Acrobatics on its moveset. This would also let her Hawlucha to counter Ghost types.
- Maybe just slap a Gem on all of the Gym Leaders' aces? /lazy
- Korrina could have a Regenerator Mienfoo instead of one with Inner Focus, and it could have U-Turn. If we're not changing its ability, give it Poison Jab to counter Fairies and hit Ghost types.
- Viola has Water Sport on her Surskit, which is decent for fighting off Fire types like Litleo, Pansear and Fennekin. But maybe her Vivillon could have an Occa Berry, an item to prevent Burns, or Powder. Also, give it Light Screen or Stun Spore, and replace Tackle with Gust.
- Maybe give Viola's Surskit Sticky Web, like in the anime? But I'm fine with it having a filler move, or only 3.
- I want to give Grant's Tyrunt Zen Headbutt, to cover his weakness to Fighting types. I'm thinking that might be a little much for the second Gym Leader, but you also have Golett nearby (which is weak to its Bite.) Inkay's also immune to Zen Headbutt.
- Clemont is a genius, but he doesn't offer much of a defense. Give his Emolga Thunder Wave and replace its Aerial Ace with Air Slash.
- Clemont's Magneton gets Rain Dance and a Damp Rock to support his Dry Skin Heliolisk. Maybe replace Thunderbolt with Thunder?
- Clemont's Heliolisk can get Parabolic Charge or Dragon Tail, like in the anime.
- Wulfric's Abomasnow gets Water Pulse to deal with Fire and Rock Pokemon? Or Wulfric changes his specialty to a type that isn't so crap. When you have your Gym Leader himself admitting that the fight can probably very easy, you have a problem.
- Stealth edit: Give Wulfric's Abomasnow a Mega Stone. He's shown to care about Pokemon in Pokemon Village, and this would make him seem more caring, in addition to making him more powerful.
