Gengar's job is to literally job.
Yeah, but it did force Luxray out, he battled really well there. Disappointed it didn’t even land a hit vs Rotom tho.


Dose Ash won? And what new moves that Lucario & Gengar using?

Episode is still being aired (on break right now) but Gengar got no new moves. He only used Night Shade, Psychic and Ice Punch though, so maybe Shadowball was replaced.

Really intense and amazing match, the first time the PWC felt like a difficult and big event what with the crowd and the battle being televized worldwide, and how much Ash had to switch up after being overwhelmed now that Volkner is not restricted by Gym rules.

Would have been 10/10 if:
- More strategies were used instead of outright brute force, only Volkner was using his Hex-Paralyze combo with Electric Terrain.
- Gengar hadn't been made a fall guy again after ages of neglect, even if Lucario managed to shine and get 2 scores under its belt.
- Pikachu hadn't become the star of the show just for the sake of showing the Z-Move and Motor Drive being countered (this was pure bs, I'll wait on subs though).
- Rank climb wasn't rushed, 99 to 64 is TOO much, even for the potential 5 battles teased back in JN065.

Oh hey, Cynthia's back.

Decent episode, pretty intense. 6/10. Unfortunately I thought the animation was underwhelming, but maybe that's my fault for being too hyped up based on leaks. That and Gengar jobbing yet again didn't help the episode. The music choice in this episode hurt the battle as well I thought, didn't really get me amped up at all.
