ash down side was defence
~Bayleef~ said:Just watched the episode. A great battle! So intense, I loved it!
Glalie VS Sceptile was over fast but at least that was Sceptile out of the way incase Tetsuya wanted to use it later in the battle.
Torkoal VS Shiftry...thank God Torkoal won! Winning is pretty rare these days when it comes to Torkoal, at least it was given a break this time.
Torkoal VS Hariyama, Hariyama defeated Torkoal quite easily, I wanted to see some Overheating action but it was a good idea for Hariyama to block Flamethrower with its hands, Ash should've commanded Overheat, it wouldn't have hurt to at least try it.
Corphish VS Hariyama...why?! Not even I would send Corphish out if I had Swellow for use, Ash wasted his chance with Corphish he could've used it later on.
Swellow VS Hariyama was great, I thought Swellow would've been done with when it was thrown against the rock but good ol' Swellow rose to the challenge and whipped Hariyama! Great use of Aerial Ace.
Swellow VS Metagross was kinda fast, Swellow should have used Aerial Ace on the dent to wear it down some more.
Grovyle VS Metagross was an OK battle, good use of Bullet Seed but I was waiting for Ash to just get Grovyle to Leaf Blade the damn dent! If it weren't for Meteor Mash we would've seen the 2 halves of a Metagross....
Pikachu VS Metgross was great, Metagross is quite a fast mover when it gets going with Agility! Great use of Iron Tail but that Metagross just wasn't gonna be beaten. Good thing a Thunder cleared that lil problemo up.
And finally Pikachu VS Meowth, a great battle, so intense! I predicted that Thunderbolt would counter Thunderbolt, Iron Tail would counter Iron Tail etc. it made to battle that much harder for both trainers. I love Iron Tail ^_^ it was used a lot so I'm happy.
Tetsuya's Meowth wasn't one for giving up but we've seen what lengths it goes to to win a battle (VS Persian)
Overall 9.6/10
Excellent episode, one of the best Hoenn League episodes. The ending was too short just clapping etc. I would have liked it if Ash had won the battle but there's always the D/P League!

Nice comeback though, it was losing at one point so comback is a good side. But what is this?

Alfonso wasn't sure but he said Fissure which sounds right but just to clarify.
But upside even Corphish(Ashs quite strong pokemon ish) lost to the same pokemon which shows Hariama was powerful.
Type disadvantage? Swellow was the one with an advantidge over Donphan(Donphan is a Ground type, Swellow's Flying/Normal, Flying is immune to Ground moves)...unless that's what you were referring to, in which case, forget it Or unless you were referring to Rollout(which is a Rock move)...crawdauntpro said:What about Swellow vs Donphan? I thought it was quite well done, considering the types disadvantage. I know type disadvantages dont necessarily count in the anime but still...

TeddiUrsa said:yeah, I think he was referring to rollout. It was pretty cool how swellow won against donphan after getting hit by an attack that keeps getting stronger with every hit and a type advantage over it.
