None of this convinced me to how SM Ash is more skilled than the DP/XY versions.You mentioned Pikachu using Electroweb which it never used in the previous series,same with Z-Move.
Give me a list of episodes that show SM Ash's amazing strategies since the other guy couldn't do it.
I'm asking same thing about how XY Ash shown more skills but you just keep saying he did without any proof,
So showing great skills with using Electroweb and z moves so different and effectively isn't a proof?
Look at both Hala's trial and grand trial battles where Ash use his surroundings for advantage and how he use his past strategies which help him with z move while in DP and XY Ash lose first gym battle like a fodder trainer and need to come up with something to win while in SM Ash come up with strategy in the middle of battle without needing a rematch, how he take Olivia's rock z move for his own advantage while that both Rockruff and Rowlet take zero damage or use Rock tomb climb technique to beat her Lycanroc, look at Ash vs Misty, Ash vs Gladion in Poni island where he quickly adapt to his surroundings, how effectively he use Electroweb against Mimikyu, Hapu's Mudsdale, stopping Guzzlord, beat Silvally along with Iron tail combo and against Tapu Koko to trap and cancel his Nature madness which is faaar better and useful than any strategy Ash use against any legendary/Mythical Pokemon.
In Ash vs Gladion in league Ash probably use as much strategy as he use against Paul in league, like using Electroweb to power up iron tail to beat Silvally which is better than anything Ash use against Paul EXCEPT underground flare blitz but than Ash use normal z move against ghost z move to make Pikachu immune which is as amazing as the best strategy Ash use against Paul, using Gladion stone edge for his own advantage and saving counter until last moment to score a win.
DP Ash lose lots of battles to come up with strategies while in SM he come up with them in the middle of battle like SM against Hala shown far more skillful trainer than DP or XY Ash when they battle first gym leader, in XY Ash got depress so easily for losing a battle and need others to cheer him up while Ash was destroyed by Nanu but he immediately cheer up at Accerola house himself and tell Lycanroc that they will train hard and win next time, unlike Korrina gym battle Ash never shown that he forget his past experience in any SM battles.
Also why you keep ignoring the FACT that Ash beat more powerful opponents in SM than any trainer Pokemon he faced in DP or XY/X?
