Base Lucario defeated a Master Class tier trainer who is among the World's strongest trainers in the world, which stands above RegionalAlthough I think it's exaggerated, I can see Mega Lucario winning ,on the other hand I wouldn't be so sure about Base Lucario vs Base Charizard, sure, defeating Gigantamax Duralodon is a great achievement but it's It's only possible if they let Lucario charge up all that energy, and Charizard did well against Articuno. Maybe Charizard is at level E4
On-screen training is bs.Ash becoming champion level in a short amount of time with little to no on screen training to show for it,
1) The PWC Is far more complex and challenging than a regular Gym challenge.
2) Ash spends less time traveling and is more time at his home base which suggests he has greater time to train.
3) Ash wasn't reset and shown to be just as skilled as he was from his previous series.
4) Ash started with relatively powerful pokemon contrary to most of his other adventures.
Game connection.Iris becoming Champion in a short amount of time,
Why is Paul "Frontier Brain level"? There was no indication or any official comment that stated this.Paul (Still Frontier Brain level allegedly) battling Ash (Champion level) on equal footing and defeating one of Ash's pokemon (Dragonite)
Paul was always a trainer who was just as good if not better than Ash. Him being capable of holding his own against Ash is by no means a stretch.
Um.. because?and Misty defeating Ash's Corphish just proves the overall powerscaling in JN is bullsh*t.
