What were your levels when you first fought them? I'm having no difficulty defeating the Kanto gym leaders with a LVL 53 party, but since i'm passing them so fast, I might only be 56/57 when I reach the 2nd round Elite Four.

My levels were fine on paper, but i still got owned by Lance (since i had nothing that could directly deal with his Gyrados, and his Dragonites are just broken, given that they can destroy ice-types easily enough), so, as my sig indicated, i had to drag in my level 65 Palkia

 

Otherwise it was all level 50 and a 55 Abomasnow.

They destroy Ice-types easily? How different is the moveset from the first time around? 

Fire Blast and being abnormally fast (at least from what i could tell. Abomasnow is a little on the slow end, but mine was faster than Clair's Dragonairs at level 40, so there's little reason it should have been slower than Lance's dragonites at 55)

Is it possible that Gym leaders/Elite Four pokemons have high EV? that could severely affect the stats, and give Dragonite an insanely fast speed. 

For example, the LVL 50 Dragonite of first time Lance was slower than my LVL 49 Feraligatr, but the two LVL 49 Dragonites were faster than it.
