I know it's absolute sacrilege to suggest, and in my heart Zard/Sceptile/Infernape/Greninja etc are his strongest, but the weight of evidence here is getting to be kind of worryingly strong.
1) Ash is using the JN team and only the JN team in the biggest tournament of his life. Unlike other regions, he's travelled back home a lot and had plenty of chances to use the reserves but has chosen not to do so.
2) They have, and are going to have, some of the greatest feats. Even the less featured two Pokemon, Sirfetchd and Dracovish, have beaten E4 and/or Champion-level Pokémon. And they are going to be beating a lot more in the next few weeks. Infernape was beaten soundly by Flint not long before the league, for instance.
I'm not saying this is true, but I think it is worth asking the question - and without doubt, all 5 of them absolutely belong in the top tier of his Pokemon just by virtue of the strength of trainer Ash is now battling and beating. If the top tier before was Greninja, Sceptile, Charizard, Infernape and Pikachu then all 5 of his JN Pokemon have to belong in that bracket almost by default. The question I guess is whether those Pokemon would be able to do what his JN team are doing. I'd say yes, but still, it's worth asking about.
