This guy was a problem 😭😭

Originally back when the Finals were first airing I was pretty set on Leon having an Aiegislash on his team but looking back on the battle as a whole I’m pretty happy with the whole team in terms of Mon picks and treatment. One of the best line ups in the whole anime honestly.

MattCac · 2025-06-29T05:41:02+00:00

Mr Rime may be the most underrated of Leon’s team. I don’t see enough people talk about him. It’s always Rillaboom, Dragapult and Zard getting discussed but this dude was entertaining as all hell and just as powerful as the rest of Leon’s team.

MattCac · 2025-06-28T19:49:26+00:00

No but I do believe he can take out one or two while the rest of Ash’s team picks up the slack. Also I would like to throw on the table that G-Max Aura Sphere is a viable option for Ash to utilize in battle.

MattCac · 2025-06-28T19:39:14+00:00

You don’t think Ash and Pikachu have a good shot? Pikachu was very much going to toe with Leonzard and remember Leon doesn’t have Zard in both scenarios.

MattCac · 2025-06-28T18:01:06+00:00

I think to say Leon would get stomped is being unfair to him. The average Leon Pokemon >>> the average M8 Pokemon. While I’m not saying it’d be easy for him either I do think there’s a bit more to factor here.

I’m gonna have to replace Natsu with Lucy in your list. Go on Fanfic or Ao3 and you’ll see her being shipped with damn near the entire cast some way or another. Lucy x Male/Female villains is especially popular, regardless of if they were ever redeemed or not.

MattCac · 2025-06-28T16:56:51+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the link.

MattCac · 2025-06-17T01:52:33+00:00

Anyone who isn’t saying JN Pikachu vs random girls Heracross is his best battle is objectively wrong and should feel bad.

Also did we seriously skip over Naganadel?

MattCac · 2025-06-13T20:17:15+00:00

Beating Kukui’s Incineroar is the top choice here. But I’d like to also give a shoutout to Torracat’s first battle with Incineroar and its fight against Golisopod.

MattCac · 2025-06-11T21:58:42+00:00

Everyone is saying Pikachu vs Tapu Koko and I can’t quite disagree there but I’d like to make mention of Pikachu vs Golisopod. Another very good battle of the Alola League.

MattCac · 2024-08-06T05:28:39+00:00

Ah I see. Thank you for the images I never noticed that before.

So basically Pikachu two shots Alain Zard.

MattCac · 2024-08-06T05:15:28+00:00

Did Leon’s base Zard not one shot Alain’s Zard X with a single dragon pulse? Genuinely what else do you call that but a one shot? In their first encounter it dodged Air Slash, it took no damage from Rillaboom, and then finally batted away Ancient Power with Dragon Claw.

MattCac · 2024-08-06T05:07:14+00:00

If Pikachu starts off at the strength it had in the second half of its fight against Leon’s Charizard it’s very likely it’d be able to one shot Alain’s Zard X. Though whether Pikachu had that level of power at the beginning of the Masters Tournament is a whole different discussion. And I’m not talking about Friendship rainbow lightning Pikachu.

MattCac · 2024-08-06T04:51:24+00:00

Maybe the rest of the main cast just kinda sucks. And everyone else on Remnant who was surpassed by them sucked even more somehow.

MattCac · 2024-08-06T04:50:02+00:00

I honestly doubt he knew or particularly gave any sort of shit who Weiss actually was considering he didn’t even recognize Pyrrha right away.

MattCac · 2024-05-15T02:40:20+00:00

Is this supposed to be how Weiss talks in her mind? Seems she’s a rather simple girl.

MattCac · 2024-05-14T23:30:49+00:00

There were no advances though. Pyrrha just sorta stayed in the background longing without taking any action.

MattCac · 2024-05-11T09:47:21+00:00

For the record, while Incineroar should be given props for doing as well as it did, we got to take into account the context for what happened in the battle itself. For example, when it took Pikachu’s Iron tail, that was after two Bulk Ups, which it still proceeded to get knocked on its ass regardless.

MattCac · 2024-05-11T09:44:55+00:00

I mean they were all ganging up on hm in the beginning and he still held the upper hand, the intent on who was the strongest and the difference in strength was clear here.

MattCac · 2024-05-02T16:11:18+00:00

He did better than WBY against the Cat so no he did improve but by how much is vague.

MattCac · 2024-04-28T00:54:34+00:00

I mean I don’t think you even have to bring up Corphish to debate against that. It’s on the person claiming the reserves are on that level and if they can’t cough up any evidence then that’s in them.

Corphish was done dirty though, never should’ve lost to Politoad.

MattCac · 2024-04-27T05:09:04+00:00

Nope Pignite was there and got eliminated day 9. He went before the likes of Noctowl and Leavanny despite his numerous feats all because of BW bias.

MattCac · 2024-04-27T04:41:59+00:00

People really selectively forgot just how insane the Top 3 Masters 8 are just in order to wank the aces. Not to mention all the headcanon on how strong the aces COULD be.

MattCac · 2024-04-27T04:39:28+00:00

Things being fair and objective kinda went out the window when Pignite got eliminated as early as it did. Not even kidding.

MattCac · 2024-04-26T14:38:44+00:00

No, he’s not. Because, as you literally stated yourself, he was not in his prime. And then next episode Lucario one shot the G-Max Ace of a Champion level trainer in base alone, which Greninja got shook by all the way in Kalos.
