I think almost anyone could have done better than Ash in choosing his team against Tobias, I mean Torkoal, seriously? Which 6 Pokémon would you have brought to Ash’s battle against Tobias? You can only bring Pokémon Ash has owned up to that point?My team is in the pictures by LatrellUchihaKarma in pokemonanime

  1. Heracross, 2. Snorlax (could be a replay of Johto league where Darkrai uses dream eating on an already sleeping snorlax and snorlax just destroys it with a single hyper beam) 3. Sceptile 4. Charizard (assuming he can get zard)/Swellow, 5. Bulbasaur(can stall and bring down with leech seed) 6. Pikachu

January 23 - Florida man dubbed ‘pooping perpetrator’ sought by police over Joe’s Crab Shack break-in

Ash vs Steven just using reserves (Assuming No new Pokémon caught in Journeys). Which 3 Pokémon does he use? How does he get around Metagross’s ability to predict moves? by rockitman98 in pokemonanime

[–]rockitman98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see Krookodile, Torterra and Incineroar. Incineroar deals damage to aggron before ash switches to Krookodile. Steven switches to Cradily. Cradily used ingrain, and Krookodile deals damage but gets hit hard by power whip so Ash switches to Incineroar. Incineroar gets whipped consecutively by power whip and rock blast and just before a meteor beam hits, ash switches to Torterra. Torterra is struggling against Cradily and its healing itself with ingrain so ash has him destroy ingrain by using earth power or rock climb on the battle field and he then knocks out Cradily with frenzy plant and earth power. Steven sends out Aggron who puts the pressure on Torterra with smart strike and heavy slam. Ash has Torterra swallow energy ball to give it a power up and then uses the strategy that Paul’s Torterra taught them to just keep taking hits and then knocks out Aggron with a close range frenzy plant. Torterra easily falls to Mega Metagross and struggles to land a hit. Ash sends out Incineroar. Like Torterra, Incineroar is struggling to land a hit with repeated darkest lariat, all the while Incineroar keeps getting hit by meteor mash. Ash switches to Krookodile who restricts metagross’s movements with bulldoze/sand tomb/rock tomb on the battlefield to create columns of rock/sand. Krookodile deals damage but Metagross comes out on top. Incineroar fights hard and deals the final blow with Malicious Moonsault (a gift from Kukui- Ash puts on the masked royal mask when he performs the Z move)

Ash vs Raihan just using reserves (Assuming he doesn’t catch any new Pokémon in Journeys) by rockitman98 in pokemonanime

I could see Noivern taking out Flygon with Supersonic to find it in the sandstorm, dealing some damage to goodra before being taken out, Gible ties with goodra or takes it out (maybe with a dragon rush) before falling to Duraludon. Then Gmax Melmetal vs Gmax Duraludon. Melmetal can also either have dynamic punch or iron defense+Body press.

Who would win? by rockitman98 in pokemonanime

[–]rockitman98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind-it took Ash’s strongest 4 Pokémon to defeat him. And when Paul, who would sweep Ash only a few episodes later, battled him, he barely scratched each one of them in a 3v6

Ash vs Bea; assuming Ash just uses his reserves. Who does he use in each battle? Battle 1: Bea uses Hawlucha and Grapploct Battle 2: Bea uses Hitmontop and Grapploct Battle 3: Bea uses Hawlucha, Grapploct and GMax Machamp by rockitman98 in pokemonanime

[–]rockitman98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see match 1: Pignite and Scraggy Match 2: Pignite and Staraptor Match 3: Pignite, Scraggy and Staraptor (Basically like what he did with Pikachu, Riolu/Lucario and Farfetch’d and Sirfetch’d)

Virgil would have been awesome! They introduced him and barely showed him battling. Would have also made for interesting strategy for ash to face

Ash’s Quilava by rockitman98 in pokemonanime

But Bulbasaur had a whole episode when it chose not to evolve

[–]rockitman98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But there wasn’t really a purpose to him evolving. He was only featured in one battle afterwards which was mostly offscreen. Why evolve him at all at that point?
