Detect is better than iron defense though
Besides, the anime has treated every barrier/screen/defense move as the same as Protect, and several other moves have been improvised as Protect alternatives, such as how every Flying/Water trainer has a hard counter to electric moves via...blowing really hard or throwing water around as a shield because what is conductivity?

They also have very handy explosives in Razor Leaf!

Next he will insist that Corsola can't evolve which would lead to him getting the Galarian counterpart, lol

From what I've read here and on twitter, people not wanting the duck to evolve in this episode bc they're scared it'll get shafted says a lot about the current state of the series. Hopefully this is the series' 180 point where Pokémon stay prominent after evolving unlike Lucario and Cinderace
Tall order lul.

When ash 1st met rinto there was no prompt for pwc match so i think rinto may b in hyper class so ash m8 have reached hyper class with this ep so got a chance to battle rinto.

Cuz whenever 2 pwc competitors come near there is always a prompt if in same class (from what i ve seen till now)

I was of the assumption that one trainer had to initiate the battle in order for it to prompt the other trainer.

Because it was boring and the growth felt non consequential and the premise kinda felt stupid? Just my opinion though

1. So you'd rather have an episode about some random Pokemon that absolutely has no bearing on the show?
2. Fire blast is meaningless?

He has returned.
I'd prefer it if it got that later down the line. To reflect how late Sirfetch'd learns it in the games. Also, it just lost Focus Energy for Detect despite having the former for a single ep. I'd like for it to have a consistent moveset please and thank you.

if it got rid of Brutal Swing for it, I wouldn't really care, it could be a sign showing how it's maturing from someone who just likes to brawl (which i personally feel Brutal Swing reflects more than any other move it has right now) to a more refined knight.

Remember when Goh met the one-of-a-kind special SunnyD Lycanroc and the newly discovered Melmetal...
And didn't react.
Given the nature of that episode he was probably too nervous to pay attention.

Think about it, he was nervous when he met Kakui, freaked out when Ash's pokemon glomped him so fast, then glomped himself which freaked him more and his pokemon as well, and then was literally begging for Ash to come help him when bombarded by questions from the alola cast at the school, and Kiawe didn't help much, that was a lot to take in a short amount of time.

it would make sense for him to have a reaction here though given his comment in the first episode about how Farfetch'd couldn't evolve, and there aren't as many things to take his focus away either.
