Who do you guys think are the strongest gym Leaders from the anime so far?
Please Note that I am not considering the Frontier Brains and Island Kahunas as they aren't technically gym leader.
This is my Top 5 list.

This is my Top 5 list.
- Giovanni(With Mewtwo): I am aware that Mewtwo escaped but he did have it in his possession for some time. Mewtwo in my opinion, is one of the Main Legendary Pokemon like(Rayquaza, Zygarde), etc which are very overpowered and cannot be beaten even by champion tier trainers in the anime.
- Raihan: He's a gym leader who is among the top 8 trainers in the world. No gym leader in the anime so far has been shown to be even remotely close to elite four tier or Champion tier with the exception of Raihan. Granted, there is one exception to this who interestingly takes up the next spot on my list.
- Agatha: Yes! We all know she's technically an elite four member. But she did act as a temporary gym leader of the Viridian City gym and battled Ash as a temporary Viridian City gym leader right before he took on the battle frontier. So I decided to include her in my list.
- Volkner: Yes we know the battle with Ash wasn't all that impressive and Ash did manage to beat Volkner on his first try. That said, the plot did try very hard to make Volkner seem much stronger than the average gym leader. His old training buddy/best friend was an elite four member. He has beaten Flint in the past (Granted, this was much before Flint got into the elite four). He doesn't technically use his ace against Ash (i.e Raichu which was indicated to be his first pokemon/strongest pokemon). The plot also made it seem that he was just simply too strong and lost his interest to battle. Based on all this, I decided to put him 4th on my list.
- Drayden: Honestly, the last choice on my list simply came down to either Claire or Drayden. I felt the latter was simply more experienced and written in such a way to be superior to Claire based off his age/experience.
