Both of goals are challenging in their own ways, but I think it's much harder to get into the Grand Festival than into a Pokemon League. Earning eight Gym badges isn't an easy task, but the same ones can be re-challenged over and over again until they win a badge. With losing a Contest, one would have to travel around to another town that's holding a Contest and even then, winning a ribbon is a bit more complicated than defeating their opponents. They could do that to breeze through the battle rounds, but they would need to have a great appeal too. Winning a League is probably just about as challenging as winning a Grand Festival, if not a bit more so, because of all of the battles they would have to go through in order to win it all. Trainers like Nando trying to do both must be extremely difficult given the different challenges in both goals.
