Hope you picked Chimchar at the start or hadn't wasted the Flamethrower TM! Oh, and the thing also could take damage like a brick shithouse while dishing out a whole lot of pain.
And of course, Cynthia with her varied team of Sinnoh arsekickers, which all could break enough havoc on their own with their perfect IV's.
Platinum made the entire E4 get better line-ups though, but nerfed them understandably a few levels, with most of them getting a 4-5 level nerf, with Lucian's Bronzong getting a full 9-level nerf.
Runner-up for hardest E4 would be Johto purely for Lance's 3 Dragonite gaunlet.
